Sörskogen - Mordet i Grottan

[@fuckMRsours]

Just imagine if Swano and Akerfeldt made a full album together. I'm pretty sure the world wouldn't survive.

[@stereoraptormusic]

I totally agree. Too much talent to handle.

[@xenonpp]

Edge of Sanity - Crimson. Made by Dan and Mikael

[@0rion2309]

"There's innocence torn from its maker And stillborn, the trust in you This failure has made the creator So would you tell him what to do" , oh wait, wrong song

[@MrSolonantunes]

“So would you tell him What to do”

[@MorgueRat]

Got me. I was like.... Waaaait aaaamiiinute!

[@nielsenjesp]

I used to pick mushrooms in Sörskogen when I lived in Flempan. Didn’t see anything strange. But there is a very, very, big oak and some good rocky cliffs by the water to sit on. Saw Mikael Åkerfeldt on the Pendeltåg sometimes as well.

[@MorbidObscurity]

This is seriously one of my favourite songs of all time.

[@halilbuyukyldz5103]

swedish musicians. they know the music. they can do music. wonderful. no doubtly excellent

[@dorisgo2010]

This song is the father of Opeth's "To Rid the Disease" but also Dan Swanö's "The Northern Sanctuary" from Witherscape.

[@nafisshahriarkhan4469]

Such an underrated gem from Mikael and Dan.

[@mcgibs]

I never get tired of that WOOOO at the end.

[@c9chord]

This is fantastic! Plus it's fun to pretend it's in English. 3:05 "Customer care and I want it dim. Used to be "say ahhh". Toast won't fat the dog up. I'm scared of the deodorant. And you fucked up, you fuckup."

[@tyjakejer]

Jesus I hope Swano and Akerfeldt are still working on a project like this! Just fantastic!

[@Jonne2002]

tyjakejer unfortunetly they are not 😞

[@rutwickgangurde3247]

Ohh no I am happy they aren't. Akerfeldt is on a different path now.

[@clintfu]

But. . . Just announced, the new Opeth album will have two versions: Swedish AND English!!!

[@urorazbojnik5678]

@@rutwickgangurde3247 Yeah, a path to sh*t on his own legacy...I too am glad Swano is independent. Btw if anyone is wondering why they're not working on any projects together ever again...tell me where exactly can you hear Swano in this song, and how sure would you be it's him had his name not been in the video description lmao

[@rutwickgangurde3247]

@@urorazbojnik5678 That's what I meant too.

[@Deathshuck]

I envy you Swedes. I would give anything to hear Mikael sing in my native language.

[@camdrizz1272]

Boy do I have the record for you lmao

[@pineapplepeanuts]

Quite stunned by this! And now In Cauda Venenum being in Swedish makes sense. If this was during the Morningrise era, it shows Akerfeldt singing and playing much more like he does now. In fact it might actually be a miracle that we got death metal Opeth at all.

[@strixq]

This song reminds me of a typical Swedish folksong. The sadness and the calm. I guess he has apporached a phase were he will protect the legacy of Swedish folk music. Brilliant!

[@友成-y7x]

This is amazing!!! Such a beautiful piece!!!

[@aemufepse]

Me sorprende ver como todo lo que tiene que ver con Mike es tan bueno, sea prog setentero, o Death Metal, hayan voces limpias o guturales, estando en Opeth, Storm Corrosion o colaborando en algún grupo ... admirable sin duda.

[@yo-kt6ng]

Así es. Por cierto, sigues viva? XD

[@MauricioProgressive]

lo mismo digo de Swano

[@demersfrank]

You guys have been hiding that gem from me all this time !? I really like the Swedes feel on that track and Amazing find here. What a final, I'm stunned !!!

[@sueviola2788]

Love this! They really need to release an album ASAP!!!

[@TheZemarko]

If i find a Argentinan that listened this song, i gonna cry.

[@Bru2712]

Acá che :D

[@TheZemarko]

Bru2712 UH! Me hiciste emocionar amigo/a! :'D Gracias a Dios existe gente que escucha esto. Me imagino que te gusta Opeth.

[@Bru2712]

Marco Bertonati todavía no escuché, llegué acá por Dan Swanö (de escuchar Nightingale); me puse a escuchar un album de Opeth ahora para ver qué tal y me viene gustando. Me alegra mucho saber que otra gente de nuestro país tan dominado por la cumbia llega a música copada más o menos inusual como ésta.

[@TheZemarko]

Buenisimo viejo! Da alegría conocer a gente asi :)

[@Bru2712]

Saludos desde Rosario!

[@OcramSilem]

Very nice! It's the first time i hear Mikael singing in his mother-tongue!

[@graster97]

... And 10 years later we can hear him singing in swedish again :D

[@tomasstefanomartinomora7125]

In Cauda Venenum, yes, although I’m not a Swede, I’m from Latin America, send much love

[@luizzeross]

Didn't knew about this one. The quality is superb.

[@titangolem]

everything akerfeldt touches TURNS INTO GOLD!

[@Brianc4]

Någonstans i skogen Somewhere in the forest Grottan där vi lekte som barn The cave where we played as kids En sargad kropp, I evig sömn A torn body, in eternal sleep Berövad livets gryning Deprived of life's dawn Vem var det som mördade honom? Who was it that mudered him? Vem var det som tog hans liv? Who was it that took his life? Ingen vet, ens idag No one knows, even today

[@ruleram1]

incredible, this is gold.

[@Jorvas25]

😍 Eargasm. Åkerfeledt and Swanön

[@MetulHam]

I want more of this! A full album!

[@FeeITheRhythm]

OMFG I can't stop listening. Sounds like kinda Camel. WOW

[@zacharyhudson8441]

Absolutely beautiful

[@lostalbrand]

I'm in love with this song! it's amazing, so smooth, you just wanna close your eyes and let the music embrace your mind

[@Kickapileapoo]

They're both geniuses. Edge of Sanity and Opeth. And both from Sweden..

[@Beecels]

Dan Swano+ Mikael Akerfeldt = pure genius

[@DDickinson458]

I want a whole album of this.

[@gryphonavocatio]

En sommar en gång....WE FOUND A CORPSE IN A CAVE AND IT RUINED OUR DAY

[@metaleer1979x]

I heard Mike and Dan are possibly going to do another folky/psychedelic project soon with some other friends of theirs.

[@tyjakejer]

That would be awesome!

[@tyjakejer]

+Ken Nim meh on Wilson. Why not just the holy Trinity and do Swano/Akerfeldt/Renske?

[@king0elizabeth]

tyjakejer Isn't that Bloodbath, but only without Nyström?

[@tyjakejer]

+Ken Nim yeah but Progressive Folk Rock :)

[@gloomygrim8668]

MORE THAN AWESOME!!! Respect from Polish.

[@SomeAreGhosts]

Beauty in motion

[@kartikmann_]

Starts sounding like While My Guitar Gently Weeps (White Album version) towards the end.

[@crazypete9749]

Exactly

[@JS-hi6ld]

To me this is old swedish prog. What comes to mind is Trettioåriga Kriget. Love it

[@corbob10]

I wish they would make some more stuff like this together.

[@MorbidAngel666nstuff]

Who would win in a fight between Mikael Akerfeldt and God?

[@infinity8543]

Åkerfeldt.

[@Orniaz33]

Åkerfeldt is god

[@katatonicmind]

5:10 Starway to heaven guitar solo?

[@ChrisValera]

Totally.

[@Kokirikid101]

Jag älskar det!

[@LuizCarlos1]

sounds like To Rid The Disease some parts.

[@AndresAcheron]

Akerfeldt took the vocal melody from this song to record To Rid The Disease.

[@mransi]

+A. Dyesis Thanks for the clarification, I was wandering which song inspired the other !

[@Nerfzisback]

+Med Anass El Issmaeli he used the chorus from this song in rid the disease , this project was just an experiment for fun as he said in an interview , that's why he used some parts in other opeth songs.

[@mransi]

Thanks man :)

[@darkfieldsofme]

The chorus guitar part is lifted from here

[@urkh_404]

great song

[@wolventhrone1631]

Incredible piece of music

[@Kaiowas100]

I can hear Chicago´s 25 or 6 to 4 bass line in this song

[@lorenzobarichello5180]

Curiosity: The chorus melody from "To Rid The Disease" is borrowed from Sörskogen's "Mordet I Grottan"

[@Slayyyer84]

Lorenzo Barichello Yes

[@Genzable]

Amazing!!!!

[@minkool]

this is awesome!! love it...even though i dont understand the lyrics..lol it still awesome...

[@Sargoth85]

I'd still buy this if it came out for sale. Certainly hearing Mr. Åkerfeldt in a more progrcok environment sure is refreshing, actually quite likable

[@progdeatherfer]

Dan Swano and Mikael Akerfeldt are beasts

[@JJJJJOOOOOaaaaaoooo]

Is this a prototype for Damnation? Sounds a lot like To Rid a Disease

[@nicholasbonanato9317]

I noticed it too

[@Anty7]

Indeed, Michael re-used the melody from the chorus in that song. But that's the only link with Damnation.

[@ceedee5103]

listen to witherscape _ the Northern Sanctuary and you will hear this song again in pieces

[@alyfireemperor]

awesome, i love it

[@shredster]

You can hear the Camel influences ring through very clear here, very good stuff!

[@TarekSolidSnake]

wow ! amazing song , even though i don't understand anything from the lyrics and the music's just amazing hearing mikael sing is enough with his amazing guitar solos

[@Filosofem2008]

nice song to relax...like it

[@DISEIL]

The vocal melody in the chorus of "To Rid the Disease" is borrowed from a track recorded by Mikael Åkerfeldt's side-project Sörskogen, "Mordet i Grottan". !! :D

[@tomtentp]

I love this song, remastered or not. I think the best part is when the fastpace drums drops in at the end with the solo, vilket djävla drag!

[@Kjobben]

There are rumors flowing around that they recorded 3 more songs, but never published them on the internet, like they did with this song. Maybe in the future, there will be a whole CD release, or maybe an EP. Who knows? :)

[@eleazarttrejo]

Awesome!!! Mike is the best musician in the world!!!

[@baldymort10]

while i still enjoyed heritage, i agree that this is probably better than anything on it. i was hoping for more of this on that album.

[@rocknymm]

amazing song ..... dan swano the master.... mikael great sinner.....

[@Kjobben]

He used the chorus from this song, in "To Rid The Disease", yes. ;)

[@L1tanY]

Mikael is playing guitar and sings, according to wikipedia. I think the site's correct, since you clearly hear his style of playing.

[@luandf1]

My favorite bands are from Sweden. edge of sanity, nightingale, pain of salvation, opeth and katatonia.

[@DecenniuM]

this was written by åkerfeldt long before he wrote To Rid the Disease for Opeth, so he borrowed a little.

[@SharpBalisong]

This song rocks.

[@signifytree]

I just transcended this mortal coil into pure Eden with this song.

[@Dehangus]

do you love porcupine tree

[@okapa]

6.17 describes this song. yeah

[@jonassvarholt3682]

Intro = Porcupine Tree - Even Less Verse = ? Chorus = While My Guitar Gently Weeps / To Rid The Disease Solo = Stairway To Heaven

[@blackwater_park]

Well, now we all know! And you're right about the chorus. It's great enough to be used twice.

[@Lenocx]

i can feel Opeths "to rid the disease" chorus in this song. And it's all great. swedes!

[@Shishiwakarashi]

Man, Beaultiful music, better than ''To Rid The Disease''. Mikael play a beaultiful and sick guitar solo, and the Synths.... Swano and Arkefeldt.... rules forever man

[@LuizCarlos1]

IS To Rid The Disease some parts**

[@Dethious]

Yeah man. Apparently Akerfeldt enjoyed that chorus so much that used it in this song aswell, just in Swedish.

[@LuizCarlos1]

:) ikr

[@Nerfzisback]

+Dethious he actually took the chorus from this song and used it in rid the disease , not vice versa.

[@pantheonofoak]

@gorstrom i just heard it for the first time today dude...i've been a fan for years of both artists. how did i not hear this sooner, if only there were an english translation...

[@ClassicalGuitarRulez]

Oh my god the solo!

[@captweirdbeard]

@titangolem And everything Åkerfeldt AND Swanö touches turns into a long lost pirate treasure.

[@joesdmf]

can anyone else feel that Mikael has really started to go back to this style on watershed :S

[@fuckMRsours]

@JosiahTheAxeman I meant a Prog album. Bloodbath is an awesome DM band, but Akerfeldt and Swano progging over us at the same time would be orgasmic.

[@CupheadAleks]

The chorus kinda sounds similar to "To Rid the Disease"

[@nijsfamke]

its used as the basis for this song as far as i know

[@DaniFilthie]

Yeah, I read about it just after posting this. Killer chorus by the way. :B

[@joesdmf]

erm were can i get this song i want it lol

[@gråsscandy77]

2:46 this part reminds me of in my time of need

[@joesdmf]

i meet akerfeltd at an opeth gig n i brought this up its over 10 years old like n he said hes probally not going to continue it, he said to me i wouldnt mind working with it but im too busy with opeth n dont see anything happening soon , he was also stuned at the fact i knew the song n band lol and yeah your right thr are a few more songs recorded but wont be released somthing to do with the rights of the songs n bullshit like that which sucks balls

[@theSavageHippie]

too bad they didn't record more stuff

[@rabbitalmighty]

Yup, this is something that's well known. It's his music, let him use it where he wants it. xD

[@madamecharogne]

Fucking amazing! Swano and Akerfeldt rule!!!

[@Bassmanjimo]

Amusing how people are re-posting this video as a track from the upcoming Storm Corrosion album..

[@enestekin6109]

İnanılmaz... Mikael kendi dilinde daha duygulu söylüyor sanki...

[@Jonne2002]

Bence ingilizce daha iyi söylüyor :)

[@enestekin6109]

tamam to bid you farewell i göz ardı edemem halısın :)

[@batslog]

+Enes Tekin her türlü :D

[@kingyoshi12]

yes, for the chorus of to rid the disease it was borrowed off of this track :)

[@uometako]

Hell yeah! no doubt 'bout that!!!

[@eriksvedin1013]

mikael åkerfeldt

[@maynrdjkeenan]

A song in a major key??? WHAT??? Mikael, what happened to you back then?

[@wowla1]

Great stuff, some parts sounds like 'To Rid A Disease' :D

[@Stratophony]

magnificent song... even though i don't under stand a single word being said. These two need to do more 70's rock-influenced stuff TOGETHER. ah... and shit song is available to download at this band's Wikipedia page. (has the download link). Same thing goes for the "Steel" band page on wikipedia... Dan Swano singing power metal; you really cant go wrong with that.

[@uometako]

Agree with that man

[@blackwater_park]

This song came before To Rid the Disease.Åkerfeldt worked on both songs and he copied it from himself.

[@lovedrugs666]

Swano & Akerfeldt - GODS!!!

[@candlemasus]

good song . i hear sone of this tune on .OPETH Damnation album

[@PennyDreadful1]

@c9chord Im swedish but I totally heard that too.

[@Brianc4]

Kasta mörker över vår idyll Cast darkness upon our idyll Ett ljus som lyser ömt A light that shines tenderly Ta oss mot bättre dagar Take us to better days Hans själ vandrar vidare His soul wanders on Vi går sakta tillbaka
