Lyrics
Losing sleep, in too deep
Fading sun, what have I done
Came so close to what I need most
Nothing left here
Cut the ties, uncover disguise
Left behind all intertwined
Lost control, moved out of the role now
Nothing's left here
Leave it be
It was meant for me
Soul sacrifice
Forgot the advice
Lost track of time
In a flurry of smoke
Waiting anxiety
For a fair judgement deserved

[@bahahamod39]

i feel so sorry for people who do not know Opeth

[@chewbaccajr.2875]

Opeth changed my life

[@billybishop1997]

Baha Hamod I know them!

[@MR-wy5yk]

Baha Hamod and for people who do not understand Opeth! Feeling this is just for some of us♥

[@defibrilatorr]

Only band that headbanging while I cry.

[@Psychedeloshippie]

druce bickinson HAHAH yes you’re so right haha

[@cudovitja]

Opeth is the best band on Earth. I would say that's A Fair Judgement.

[@ThreeLeftOverCrest]

Not only a fair judgement, but one live at shepherd's bush empire, london

[@morejulo]

People like you move the world

[@Rayzxb]

bum bum ts

[@luhatusebner88]

I totally agree with your judgement

[@DustinTavo]

A fair judgement is served.

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

Lopez plays the drums like he's painting a picture. An astounding artist and musician. It really shows in this performance here

[@explosivx43]

It also shows in Soen 😄

[@gringostarr69]

I didn't respect his playing when these albums where new, but after years I've grown to love it.. He really has his own unique style. Sadly the opeth is no more the same opeth..

[@jaywolbert8235]

For sure, one of the best bands I've ever heard!

[@Auspices1349]

Lopez was part of what made Opeth: 'Opeth'. Edit: Everyone in this iteration of the band made Opeth: 'Opeth'. Over the years I honestly start to believe that the longer the collective length of hair in a metal band is, the better they are/were.

[@Lexcoaster]

Phenomenal musician!

[@Roaxo]

I like how slowly they played it this time.

[@RBFObscure]

Was about to say the same thing. It's better than the album!

[@hanielshaer8327]

For me it's their best lineup, with Lopez brutality on drums and Lindgren the artist!

[@adriannudelman4519]

oh yeah, totally agreeeeeeeeeeeee!!

[@Irelandunited2012]

YES 100%

[@McSmijens1]

That freak in outro shows that opeth can write a better doom metal riff than most doom metal bands lol

[@yaseen_elolemy]

absolutely agree!

[@breakingawayfromyou]

Pls someone tell about bands that make music like that

[@coda5934]

yami Katatonia, first two albums

[@coda5934]

Onur Kaya he is not asking for a band that sounds like Opeth, he is asking for something that sounds like the outro in this video, just the outro.

[@ccc0909]

That was 100% inspired by Type O. Nobody else plays a slower drum tempo than they did.

[@Gilmour3]

Lopez IS the song....he is in it and it's in him...The greatest drummer Opeth had and will ever have

[@francescovianello262]

I feel so sorry for people who don't have the right ears for listening to Opeth

That's so right. The sound engineer is phenomenal too, great job done✅️🎶🤟

[@TheAskald]

I swear these fifteen minutes feel like one. What's crazy is that this gem isn't even one of my favorite Opeth songs. That's how good this band is. Every Opeth song is godlike.

[@ScreamBloodyGore145]

I would do anything to see them live with Lopez and Lindgren Axe is amazing but Lopez is...you know...something else. He's John Bonham of our times

[@anzoomantu2216]

agree

[@jamiefalkins5805]

got to see them 2x with Gene Hogland drumming !

[@XTyrannicalX]

People don't quite understand this-- but it's the reality of the musical unity. Lopez brought it all together. It sounds lifeless and barren now.

[@jamiefalkins5805]

I would have to agree.

That slowed down doom metal breakdown is so freaking good!!!!!

[@tHazza2745]

tbf if I was there I'd be yelling out "demon of the fall" too.

[@mattman1127]

They played it but couldn't record it because their label only wanted footage of the Blackwater Park, Damnation, and Deliverance albums. They played Demon of the Fall after this, but I can't find footage of it anywhere. Imagine if they recorded it, the quality ahhhh. Thankfully we have the roundhouse tapes.

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

@@mattman1127 It's a damn shame they didn't. It'd be the only hi-quality pro-footage of it with Lopez. Maybe one day...

[@sammyloehnis3373]

@@jaspergillgannon4991 To be honest, I think Axe nailed that song at Red Rocks. Again, I haven't seen Lopez play that song live, but I certainly prefer the Garden of the Titans version to the album version

[@blppt]

@@sammyloehnis3373 Disagree. Axe added a bunch of heavy handed fills in the early part of the song in that performance. Not a fan. His best work that night was probably Deliverance, where when he did add his own flourishes, they all fit perfectly and his double bass was spot on. For my money, the Roundhouse tapes version of "Demon" with Axe was near perfect, if lacking the amazing mix of the Red Rocks blu-ray. And Axe's performance on "Ghost of Perdition" on roundhouse is better than even the album version, IMHO.

[@soakedbearrd]

Theres always that one dude that screams BLACK ROSE IMMORTIAL.

[@StealerAG]

Still one of the best songs I've heard ever. And what a performance

[@MrStratocaster92]

7:49 not a single note wasted on that little guitar solo. Incredible.

[@davidsantana4276]

Wow. Just wow. Every single note seems designed to make a perfect melody. This is an utterly beautiful song.

Anybody else that was around for those shows when Opeth was first gaining in popularity, like '03-'05? Fucking magical times, for sure. I still love Opeth, love what they do now and they are probably a "better" live band now, but dudes... the vibe of the shows from the Deliverance/Lamentations tours? I miss being that young and so impressed with this beautiful music.

[@88omair]

The solo section is the absolute climax of this song

I felt attracted to Opeth for this song, I love the jazz fusion with metal, it's just wonderfully engineered!

Slower and heavier, these changes in tones and tempo are classy!

[@DanilloDetrichi]

7:07. so sad, so beauty...

[@DangBrent]

This one along with Dirge are my two favorite songs from Opeth, I can't choose only one but I think these two songs represent very well both sides of Opeth before Heritage, which I love too

[@NokturnalMTG]

Martin Lopez was so great. I was a metal drummer thinking speed and heavy was everything until I heard him play. The techniques while keeping it metal, just amazing. Totally changed how I felt about drumming

peter lindgren, 09:50 de, hayatının solosunu çalmağa başlıyor. kamera baştan sona (sadece girişte birazcık gösteriyor, o kadarcık! olur mu öyle şey?!) onu göstermesi gerekirken diğer müzisyenleri gösteriyor. hey ya rabbim ya! bu sanatçıya hem ayıptır, günahtır; hem de hakarettir, onu hiçe saymaktır. böyle bir çekim açısı, böyle bir zihniyet olmaz olsun! kahroldum!

[@jro341]

I’m new to Opeth and have to say they are great.

[@elisen.9619]

I was aware that Opeth had a good drummer, but that very nice musical drumming, especially at the beginning of the song did surprise me in a very positive sense :D

[@SenorPelasco]

Wow, this is so good! So musical, precise and full of interplay. Gotta love Lopez' dynamic, almost jazzy drumming! I just clicked into a few newer live shows (2015), but stopped them after a few songs. They just seem to shred down their parts nowadays...?

[@LuccasMaso]

What a song!

[@mattirealm]

Martin Lopez is so amazing! The whole band was such a badass machine at this point. And even though I have come around to liking Pale Communion, Sorceress and In Cauda Venenum, this is still my favorite era of Opeth. Lopez is like a heavier version of Bill Ward IMO. He can hit with such power, but then you get that swing that Bill had on the earlier Sabbath albums and of course, Heaven and Hell (1980). I know Axe is not with Opeth any longer, but he is with Bloodbath. I think of Axe as more akin to the technical wizard that Dave Lombardo is. And again, Lopez is definitely more in the mold of Bill Ward.

[@donnaking3724]

Sooooo Beautiful ❤️ sooo HOTT to watch them all perform Magick 🤘🏼

[@delioaraciubotaru]

Opeth: how long do you want the songs? Mikael: Yes

[@thefdrummer9627]

7:07 ......

[@pgrove]

Martin lopez was the superior drummer in every way.

[@88omair]

Axe has improved drastically since his stiff performance on Watershed, and his sense of groove and subtlety is absolutely amazing. It's like he's a completely different drummer. His drumming is one of the best things about modern Opeth imo. Love Lopez as well obviously, and his drumming pushed Opeth into the more technical and groove oriented nature. Lopez is incredibly dynamic and gifted in a musical sense.

[@pgrove]

Omair Sheikh Well said. Watershed really turned me off to anything they've put out since then. It's really hard for me to give it a proper listen.

[@88omair]

donangry I'd suggest you listen to Heritage. Axe's performance is very good on there, though the music is more in the prog rock direction than metal. I don't know if you've heard Eternal Rains will come, his performance on that is fantastic

[@ovimpendingdoom8604]

Watershed is my favourite record tbh.Love both drummers and they got a unique sound that changes the song dynamics.
