#livemusic - Opeth

Opeth at the Barrowlands. Swedish 'doom-metal' usually a description applied to them which is a bit unfair.Opeth has consistently incorporated progressive, folk, blues, classical and jazz influences into its usually lengthy compositions, as well as strong influences from death metal, especially in their early works. Many songs include acoustic guitar passages and strong dynamic shifts, as well as both death growls (pig vocals) and clean vocals. The gig was certainly good but just a pity that the lighting engineer seemed far more proficient than the sound tech?
