OPETH Pays Tribute To Classic Heavy Metal Artists - Sep. 10, 2007
Swedish metallers OPETH have issued the following update:

"A memorable evening for any OPETH fan took place on September 8th and 9th at the notorious Anchor Bar in central Stockholm, Sweden. Martin Mendez (bass), Axe [Martin Axenrot; drums] and Fredrik Åkesson [guitar] played a full-on heavy metal cover set fronted by Mats Levén [KRUX, ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, THERION]." The group's setlist was as follows (in no particular order):

01. Fast As A Shark (ACCEPT)
02. Disturbing The Priest (BLACK SABBATH)
03. Mob Rules (BLACK SABBATH)
04. Hole In The Sky (BLACK SABBATH)
05. Welcome Home (KING DIAMOND)
06. Welcome Home (Sanitarium) (METALLICA)
07. Painkiller (JUDAS PRIEST)
08. Victim Of Changes (JUDAS PRIEST)

OPETH's "The Roundhouse Tapes" will be released as a high-definition-filmed DVD in early 2008. This will also feature lots of fan interviews, band interviews, soundcheck footage and live photos, along with exclusive menu music written by mainman Mikael Åkerfeldt and keyboardist Per Wiberg.

The cover artwork for OPETH's upcoming "The Roundhouse Tapes" double CD has been posted at this location. Due on October 22 via Peaceville, "'The Roundhouse Tapes' contains a captivating OPETH performance from the Camden Roundhouse, London, UK, on November 9, 2006, and sees the band in scintillating form churning out a selection of classics from their illustrious career," according to a press release. "You know what to expect from OPETH: unrivalled composition; seamless progressive dynamics and boundless atmosphere from the mellow to the incredibly heavy, all sealed with the unmistakable vocal presence of mainman Mikael Åkerfeldt."

Commented Åkerfeldt: "The Roundhouse concert will always be a very memorable gig for us for many reasons, but most importantly it caught the band at the peak of the 'Ghost Reveries' tour. I must say we're quite tight after 18 odd months on the road supporting the record. I'm extremely pleased we got it documented and I hope it will please our beloved fans as well. As an extra bonus we've decided to collaborate with one of our past labels for this release, the legendary Peaceville Records. Here's a toast to Hammy and Lisa for helping us back in the day as well as to the new team for preserving this pleasurable memory for today's music lovers as well as for generations to come."

"The Roundhouse Tapes" tracklisting:

CD1:

01. When
02. Ghost Of Perdition
03. Under The Weeping Moon
04. Bleak
05. Face Of Melinda
06. The Night And The Silent Water

CD2:

01. Windowpane
02. Blackwater Park
03. Demon of the Fall

Good to see they covered Disturbing The Priest from the Ia Gillan era. "Born Again" is one of Sabbath's best releases ever.

This isn't even Opeth. Mikeal wasn't there, Peter wasn't there, really the only Opeth member was Martin Mendez. All the other guys are new and I can't bring myself to say that Opeth played those songs. Martin played those songs with some other guys.

No mendez , Åkesson, and mats plus drummer pay tribute ... it wasn't OPETH and it wasn't KRUX ... it was just friends trying to have fun and play music at anchor .... sure it's sweet and they're all talented to musicians ... but to say OPETH! or KRUX! give your f**king head a shake....

As for Anchor ... normally when there is a show there, the places is packed so odds are a video camera wouldn't have made it through.

if you wanna see it so bad fly over and watch many of the cover bands that play here all the time ... it's great times and good beer

here are videos I took from the show (front row even), another mention would be that instead of Metallica they did "Stand up and shout" from Dio. If there is anyone interested in this that could actually make it to the next show, it's gonna happen on the 27th of October in Uppsala at KROM. Here are the videos: http://uk.youtube.com/profile?user=MissSwannie
enjoy!
