"The Roundhouse concert …caught the band at the peak of the "Ghost reveries" tour. We've decided to collaborate with one of our past labels for this release, the legendary Peaceville records to preserve this pleasurable memory for todays music lovers as well as for generations to come." Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth)
Since their formation in 1990 in Sweden, Opeth has risen to the forefront of the metal world; bringing many aspects of progressive rock/metal to a whole new audience by combining soft acoustic ambience with complex, melodic & heavy guitar often familiar to forms of death/black metal, perfectly concocted into a completely peerless sound. A constant factor of their success is that the band have never been afraid to experiment with their song-writing ever since their debut album, ‘Orchid’, in 1994, all the while taking us through some truly magical & hypnotic soundscapes over the years.
Make sure to pick up this epic live album on November 20th. With 2 discs and an amazing set list, The Roundhouse Tapes is sure to please even the most dedicated Opeth fans with tracks ranging the bands whole career. If you aren’t familiar with the band it is a great place to start as it gives you a true retrospective of the band.
