Opeth - The Grand Conjuration with intro Live @ Tuska festival Helsinki Finland 30-06-2024

This new drummer has totally re-invigorated the band. They’re playing everything fast as fuck and it’s absolutely brutal.

[@opethvarium418]

Absolutely! They sound like the old opeth again! I did really like Axe but he definitely started playing everything at a slower tempo once the Heritage era started. Really hoping for some old mixed with new opeth on the next album!

[@drphilsranch6782]

Agreed. I honestly think Waltteri is the best live drummer they’ve had. Obviously Axe and Lopez were great, but Axe played too slow and Lopez’s tempo was all over the place. It seems like Waltteri is able to play at the faster tempos without fluctuating too much.

[@Joshcoshbagosh]

with any luck maybe that also means they could be doing some heavier stuff again for a new album. Not to mention their new set is mostly the death metal stuff with a few later songs sprinkled in, and his growls do sound quite good lately. I remain hopeful(I enjoy the newer albums, but man it's been SO long since they did any death metal).

[@mattellis4270]

Fast as fuck? It’s played to a click track and no faster than the album…

[@lukaweiss9147]

​@@mattellis4270search for then playing Heir Apparent at this festival, they are clearly playing it faster

[@tastysnivel]

Their drummer Waltteri is a perfect match for the band. Awesome!

[@PJBonoVox]

Paradise Lost's loss is Opeth's gain 😢

[@guidobottazzo]

Cant wait for a new album with him.

[@wandcfirst]

This is awesome. Would love to see Masters Apprentices back in the set with them playing like this!

[@godofdeadlydeath]

I love how into it Mendez gets these days when he's playing bass. He used to just kind of stand still and wave his hair back and forth but he's really gotten into navigating the stage more and making his presence felt. He's so great to watch.

[@finnthehu200]

Yes, Mendez is fuckin' awesome. I also wonder if it maybe has to do with the new drummer? It's an amazing feeling to synergize with a really good drummer, and Walt seems pretty incredible. It's like the whole band has a new energy about them in every new live video I've seen.

[@samuelkdrums]

I have to object ;) look at Mendez from 2000-2010 or so. His energy level is awesome and the no-no-headbang can't be matched! But yes, he still got it nowadays for sure and Walterri is probably a factor in this! Cheers, Sam

[@lukaweiss9147]

I'm really happy watching this videos, Opeth is sounding heavy and brutal like they used to be, even if they don't release any death metal song in the next album they playing like this live is was a dream from every Opeth fan

[@stevemuzak8526]

And they did.

[@klmauldin]

I love that they're still playing this live.

[@chainuser1774]

Its great to see them having fun again. Havent seen Mikael this energized in years!

[@AidenCantrell]

Mikael has been sounding great recently with his growls!

[@Lucy-yc4bc]

[@Purkinje90]

I can’t wait to see them in October

[@AidenCantrell]

Where are you seeing them at? I’m seeing them in October too.

[@kvonribbenburg]

Wow, a recording from the future!

[@mileenz681]

Tuska makes you forget about time 😉

[@KalleFinlandia]

What kind of device did you use to capture this? The sound quality is nice in some parts of this clip. Thanks!

[@mileenz681]

I used a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for this. Glad you enjoy it, thanks!
