Opeth - Demon of the Fall (Record Store Day Performance 2013)

[@Karinap1974]

Look at that, an Opeth performance and a little stand up. Every time. Charming bastard.

[@metamemelord]

"Charming bastard" 100%

Charming Bastard 😂

[@reducetheatoms]

this tbh, would be the best concerts

[@benhemsworth8555]

Bro, Mikael’s been at this for so many years, and still he acts like a dude whose band is super unknown and up-and-coming. He’s chill af.

[@blackbullet4254]

That's the coolest attitude imo, that's why he is sooo damn lovable

[@DanteSonOfDeath]

[@ruckwarts]

they should record unplugged album

[@eddieademi]

taxidermy Damnation is a mellow depressive 70’s old man’s rock album, an acoustic unplugged Opeth album of the metal songs turned into acoustic form would actually be more awesome

[@tylerjacobson8012]

Edi Ademi damnation is fucking fantastic. Old mans rock my ass.

[@Phireo]

Go watch them live, usually at the most brutal festivals they do acoustic versions of their heaviest songs like Demons, Deliverance, Ghost of Perdition etc.

[@timwideman9805]

The first time I saw them on the Heritage tour they did a substantial acoustic set. I walked through a snowstorm, spent my last money on the ticket, but it was totally worth it. The whole show was great, but how often do they play Patterns in the Ivy II and The Throat of Winter?

[@leonardsullivan]

@@eddieademi Lol I have NEVER heard "Old Man's Rock" that sounds like Damnation hahaha Fucking stupid dude, c'mon...

[@wouldyoukindly2169]

Opeth can make anything and I'll buy it. Seriously, they could decide to do an experimental jazz/no-wave concept album of Disney songs, and I would buy it.

Mikael should seriously make the consideration of doing stand-up comedy as a side-career His confidence for it is perfect, his jokes are clever and his timing is amazing.

Opeth playing Demon of the Fall acustic and The Hobbit action figures in the background... Priceless

No way man!!!

[@AriagilTheLadiesMan]

I don't think so... Maybe like a bonus track.

[@miriamescalante6633]

Demon of the fall is a master piece. Obscure and dark. Heritage is a folk-prog album.

[@lordmorgoth7]

Yeah, heritage is pretty good by the way, I dont really like sorceress, and I only enjoy a handfull of pale communion, heritage is very good.

[@kacpergarbiec4174]

@@lordmorgoth7 Sorceress is pretty good. Some good riffs and parts of the album are quite heavy.

[@raimukoyoasu6636]

Demon of the Toy Store

[@rudydembinski9145]

Cannot believe how tight their sound is considering they had reworked this song only a few days before. Incredible! Axe seems to be loving playin this song on his bongos! I love how Mikael treats his fans, with sarcastic wit and honest respect...

[@dclarkmusic]

I love that their drummer can absolutely fucking rip on the congas

[@randyhalfway]

Whenever I hear the outro of this song, I wish it would go on for 10 more minutes. Same with April Ethereal.

[@Setri123]

April has arguably the best outro in the history of metal music

[@avielp]

00:59 Frederik is thinking "Oh..oh that song..shit how does it go..."

[@leonardsullivan]

Hahaha awesome

[@wilsonmikael]

I was there at the church gig Mikael was talking about, The Union Chapel in London. One of the most memorable shows I've been to. Anathema as support was the icing on the cake.

[@warnpassion]

Wow! Can't believe that they actually played this song over there.

[@johnnichols8553]

Opeth playing an evil song in front of a wall of plushies just made my day.

[@thinsulite]

I'll admit it. I teared up a little at the end when Mikael was singing.

[@13superdude2]

I would do just about anything to have been there.

[@saskiakroonsberg]

Dialogue with the Stars, Me too

[@ivyssauro123]

hey should make a double album project,much like damnation/deliverence with one album being a collection of acoustic versions of brutal songs and the other a collections of brutal version of softer songs. this would be cool.

[@AnthonyNelsonPhoto]

A metal version of Harvest would make me do unspeakable things with my daddy parts. That sounds SO cool.

[@ivyssauro123]

Anthony Nelson or a metal version of Closure, that song is already metal without being technically 'heavy' haha

[@mistercr0wbar400]

unfortunately I don't think they're ever gonna do the brutal thing again.. i wonder if it has anything to do with the strain on Mikael's voice

[@mowtownmowbreaker1399]

+keizenberg the music can be heavy with distorted guitars and stuff and mikael can sing normally?.. tho it wont be as awesome

[@danielalls]

I don't want to sound rude but they already did that, so why would they do that again... I'm expecting a electronic jazz album now because they decided to be unpredictable.

[@partlama44]

i recently got into Opeth, like 2 weeks ago, I LOVE THOSE GUYS!

[@schpleeb]

Hearing that riff at the end toned down genuinely brought a tear to me eye

[@albertaproud7855]

Wow. My god. So, my tastes in metal stop at Pantera and Lamb of God. I’ve heard of Opeth And for 20 years never bothered to give them an honest try. Today is that day. After this performance all I can say is wow. I’m floored by the musicianship and the unison of this band. So dark and haunting yet captivating. I regret not learning of these guys such a long time ago. The lyrics as well, they’re mysterious.

[@Doktor0315]

This video really made my day...I've always loved Mikael and all the amazingly talented members of Opeth. Makes me think they should record an acoustic or "unplugged"-type of album--if they can play an acoustic version of Demon of the Fall that sounds this beautiful, then they can do anything. :)
