Martin Lopez is a fucking legend...I remember 10 years ago when I watched this dvd for the first time, it totally stoked me...I watched it at least 5 times a week, trying to understand his style..so clean and imaginative, full of influences from many generes..just one of the best metal drummers ever! Long live to Opeth in every form

[@EstevanDrummer]

I just want to confirm what you said... Martin is such a beast, his playing is so precise, and it´s full of many details dynamic and rhytmic wise.

Axe is a great drummer, but he is no Martin Lopez.

[@ItsNotaTuhmah]

Peter co wrote the whole Orchid and Morningrise albums, plus some great tracks like Demon of the Fall and Blackwater park. He also had a great feeling for soloing and playing. Lopez slays Axe in every sense.

[@Boomer.Roberts]

Gotta love that fucking flawless double bass work, paired with Mikael's then-still-good deep growling, alongside one of the heaviest riffs ever...Ugh I love this song.

[@Meshuggapeth]

What do you mean by double bass though? Mendez plays an electric bass here

[@Boomer.Roberts]

Meshuggapeth double bass pedals, not the orchestral instrument.

[@Meshuggapeth]

Boomer Roberts Ooooh yeah duh. I think the double bass work and drumming in general on Deliverance is one of the album's strongest qualities. I believe Mikael achieved what we wanted to do, which was make their heaviest album yet at the time, and Lopez definitely brought the right levels of technicality, brutality and emotion. Those extra snare hits in the verses in this live version are radass too by the way!

[@dtonpbac]

His growling was at its best during Ghost Reveries~Watershed and The Roundhouse Tapes clearly shows that lol.

[@roxGCstyle]

This is awesome! i love his growls here, one of the best i've ever heard

[@dtonpbac]

Actually he was having transition period during this time. His growls were not stable and didn't sound good. He discovered deeper and more complete growls around the time when they recorded Ghost Reveries album and he reached his peak during that tour. If you listen to The Roundhouse Tapes live album he sounds way better than this album.

[@lukeburtis1948]

Lyrics There is a voice calling for me There is a light coming down on me There is a doubt that is clearing There is a day that is dawning There is a wound that is healing There is a season waiting for me There is a road that is turning There is a fire still burning A sickness in me Constant pace towards the end The need is stronger This time the need is deeper There is a peace I am searching There is a freedom I'm depending on There is a pain that's never ending There is a rain falling only on me There is a dream I am living There is a life I'm dreaming of There is a death I'm awaiting There is a home I am deserting I hold my breath in wait Only moments remain Movement for departed hope Effect for absent friends Sever the faith from my body Leave me begging for more Take what I have and deliver me Into everlasting sleep Soothing trance Colours fade And disappear Ethereal light Showing me what I can do without In a motionless scene There is only me I take what I can Controlling you to get ahead Fading away And leaving Long for sleep Closer now Lead the way into death Every wretched dream I've left behind Every waking hour I lie in wait Sucked inside by will Gone into the flood All my questions unfurled As I was put to the test Once I'm below there's no turning back Plunging into the deepest void Departed shell left drained behind Pacing roads unknown Searching for a new home Desert in my eye Barren lands inside
