Lyrics
We entered Winter once again
Naked, freezing from my breath
Neath the lid all limbs tucked away
This coffin is your abode from now
and onwards
Your body is mine to avail
Such a tragic sight you are
Slave under my creed
Spurring me with those tears
I am beyond death
Midst a dreaming affinity
Saving strength now, faint whispers
Come erotic communion in its splendour
Fever mirrored ghosts
Night time consolation, cross the line
Draw murder into art
Sleep inside through days
In the wake of this relief
Shivering, longing for more
Insanity at it's peak
Love me to my death
Lost are days of Spring
You sighted and let me in
Keep the beast inside
Shackled within my hide
Screaming out too late
Losing to my hate
Grew together with your skin
And paced the trails of sin
Your gaze covered with virgin snow
Rigid features
It's the shallow deeds who is to blame
Deafening shrieks pierced the night
A step from oblivion
Moving into the dim lights
Hiding within a reverie
It was worth it for the wait alone

Mikael - hope you recognise this one Also Mikael - this is The Leper Affinity
-
-
Something that amazes about Mikael is how he can sing so effortlessly while playing these complex riffs. That takes a fuckin lot of coordination
-
Lopez is just out of the world. I don't think there can ever be a drummer who can make Opeth sound like this. He is beyond perfection.
-
2:31 I love how Lindgren and Akerfeldt are concentrating on playing that really hard part and Mendez is just going ham. Lol!
-
the fact he can change vocal style without effort is just amazing
-
20 year old me is in the crowd somewhere, still to this day one of my favourite gigs
-
2:22 is the reason why I like Opeth. The best heavy metal composer.
-
The outro riff is DIVINE
-
At 1:54 He is beyond death.
-
8:02 One of the best Opeth outros ever :O
-
2:36 Lemme tell you one thing: it's already pretty hard to play that riff properly, but playing it while singing is on a completely different level
-
They will never have this kind of chemistry ever again, best line-up.
-
A pure metal masterpeice
-
5:13 This part is spellboundingly beautiful ð
-
2:23 - that riff!!!
-
Craziest thing is that I don't think they're playing to a click track here. The tempo varies significantly between certain sections. I can't imagine being that tight as a band.
-
0:05 Napalm Death - You Suffer (Opeth cover)
-
Martin Lopez taught me ghost notes. I didnât even realize that was a thing until I heard his tasteful jazzy/Latin drumming on Blackwater park, and for that alone (and many more techniques) Martin has been a huge influence on my drumming.
-
Flawless fucking performance, amazing to see Martin Lopez killing it again with Opeth (although this was years ago)
