WHAT’S BETTER THAN OPETH? HOW ABOUT FREE OPETH?

 Wednesday, August 25th, 2010 at 5:00pm by

They can call it… FROPETH!!!

So remember how Opeth are releasing a live CD/DVD called In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall, which, despite what the title would suggest, is not a collection of trip-hop covers of songs originally by The Brothers Johnson, but is actually a recording of Opeth in live concert at the Royal Albert Hall?

Well, they’re giving away a track from that album for free. It’s “Dirge For November,” if you’re curious. Yeah, you have to give ‘em your e-mail address, but while I can’t endorse that kind of behavior in some bands, I willingly endorse it from Opeth, ’cause they’re Opeth, and I’m biased in favor of good music like that. Also, I’m listening to it right now, and it sounds really good. So go get it.

In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall comes out September 21 on Roadrunner. You can order a super-duper special edition version right here. In case it comes up at dinner tonight, you ought to know that it was recorded at one of the only six shows the band did for their twentieth anniversary tour earlier this year.

    Read an interview once where Akerfeldt stated “Dirge for November” was his least favorite song in the band’s entire catalog. I think he actually said he hated it. It’n not my fav, but good tune for sure.

      I heard the same thing about By The Pain I See In Others, which IS one of my favorite Opeth tunes.

      Whaaaat, that one is one of my favs from Blackwater Park. That ending guitar lick is so…i dont know, somber sounding.

    M.A. does a better job on the opening vocal than he did on the album. Better expressivity and more confident.

    A root canal. A frontal lobotomy. Having your testicles bitten off by a rabid dog. Anything.

      You forgot jumping out of a plane and the parachute not opening.

      By the way, I have a friend with a Cessna – you should try skydiving.

    is this like a tribute to deep purples concerto for group and orchestra?
    the album cover is identical:

    because I don’t feel like getting roadrunner spam, can someone mediafire or soundcloud it?

      There are many sites that offer disposable email addresses for just these sort of purposes. Put down the bong and find one

    One of my favorite Opeth songs. Absolutely beautiful in every aspect.

    What’s with the jackass yelling in the quieter parts of the song? I could live without the crowd clapping as well.

    Good song though.
