Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth) - interview with Crew Rock Radio. July 21st, 2024.
Here's a new interview with Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth!
This session was aired earlier this evening by Crew Rock Radio, in anticipation of Opeth's upcoming show at Bloodstock festival on August 9th. It's an open and honest conversation, and Mikael seems to be on good form as they talk through festivals and other metal bands.
Thanks to Crew Rock for airing this, and to Iro Kalligeri for the incredible photo (taken during Opeth's most recent concert in Athens on July 3rd).
Lastly, apologies for the ten-second gap around the 3:00 mark, when my internet connection briefly cut out. I've minimised this in the final edit, missing only the interviewer starting to ask about fan-picked setlists.
Enjoy....

Opeth - ak/Wurlitzer (2005 demo)
Просмотров 982Месяц назад
Before Opeth recorded Ghost Reveries, Mikael Åkerfeldt recorded an album's worth of demos. Some of this music was used on later albums (e.g. the "boogie" breakdown in The Lotus Eater), while other pieces have been lost to time. This is one of those pieces, with a working title of ak/Wulitzer. It was just an idea - possibly for a Ghost Reveries interlude - but it holds the same magic that was ca...
Opeth - Hours of Wealth. Live in Los Angeles, October 25th 2015.
Просмотров 537Месяц назад
Hours of Wealth is one of Ghost Reveries' quieter and more obscure tracks. As part of the original album concept, it dealt with the aftermath of the protagonist's successful escape. The trials that the character endured - demonic rituals, possession, matricide, and chases through moors, woodlands, and deserts - created a fatigue and mistrust of everyone. The protagonist therefore chose to go in...

Porcupine Tree - A Smart Kid (with Mikael Åkerfeldt). Live in Seattle, August 3rd 2003.

On August 3rd, 2003, Porcupine Tree was joined by Mikael Åkerfeldt (of Opeth) to perform "A Smart Kid." This was a one-off performance on the last night of their North America tour that year. To my knowledge, Mikael has never taken the stage with PT before or since. "A Smart Kid" is reportedly one of Mikael's favourite songs by one of his favourite bands - so getting the opportunity to join the...

Time to celebrate the recent anniversary of Opeth's Red Rocks show. Taken from their performance on June 2nd, 2017 in Gothenburg, this is one of only about 20 times Opeth have ever played Era live. Credit goes out to TheMetalist for this excellent recording. I've spent some time this week remixing and remastering, and I'm pretty happy with the final outcome.

Opeth - Moonlapse Vertigo. Live in Melbourne, April 24th 2006 (UPGRADED & REMASTERED)

Opeth have only played Moonlapse Vertigo live 8 times: six times in 2000, once in 2001, and once in 2006. This is their latest (and likely their last ever) performance of one of Still Life's best tracks. I shared this performance once before, about 5 years ago. So why am I posting it again? Over the years, I've traded for four audio sources and two video sources of this show. None of them are o...

Opeth - Soul Torture. Unreleased live rehearsal, February 1992.
Просмотров 6634 месяца назад
Eternal Soul Torture isn't many Opeth fans' favourite song. But unlike most Opeth tracks, it has an unusually limited history. Written in early 1992, this is the first known recording of Soul Torture (before the addition of "Eternal"), and the only version with David Isberg on vocals. David quit just a couple of weeks after this rehearsal. When Mikael then decided to take over on vocals, he app...

Recordings of Opeth's 2003 Hultsfred show have been around for over 20 years. But for some reason, they've always been shared in an incomplete format: low res video, compressed or separate audio, and always unmastered. Today, that changes. Taken from B1tterAndThenSome's upscaled footage, a separate (and outstanding quality) soundboard audio source, and my own remaster, matrix, edits, and render...

Lineage is unknown, but if I remember correctly, this was broadcast on Swedish Public Radio shortly af...

    I don't care if this band ever return to using double-kick drums, distorted riffs and growling. I just want them to write more melancholic epics like they did in their early days. Imagine another 15-20 minute suite with all their accumulated musical/songwriting experience.
