Opeth - Heir Apparent @ Tuska2024

[@devinplayseverything3764]

I imagine the biggest adversary to an Opeth live show is the audience's off-time clapping

Goddamn the growls are sounding solid again! Plus this show was strictly Oldpeth songs, whatever the reasoning was for it, I thought I'd never see that again!

[@lehtokurppa7824]

The setlist was same as for the fan picked setlist in Tons of Rock, except we got one more song in Tuska. I loved it.

[@EverythingConsidered]

It's because nobody likes the progrock crap they've been coming out with for the last few albums /s. In fairness, it's still Opeth but songs like this one are the reason Opeth has so many fans.
