The Moor - Opeth

Welcome to The Moor, a website for and by fans of Opeth. Wondering who or what "Opeth" is? Head to our Frequently Asked Questions page for a little bit more information. My ultimate goal would be to make a new fan out of you, but Opeth is not for everyone. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to email me at larrik@mooropeth.com

Opeth's announced a new U.S. tour! (Yeah I'm American, so that's all I really pay attention to) Supposedly there may be more dates tomorrow as well.

Mikael and Fredrik also have recorded an instructional video on how to play Heir Apparent. I love those videos...

Finally, I've been passed a note that Mikael gave a video interview about various topics over at FaceCulture, as well as a special video about the song Burden.

Opeth Interview at FaceCulture
Posted on June 14th 2008, at 10:40am, by Larrik
I've been informed of another Opeth interview, this time an in-depth video interview with Mikael over at online magazine FaceCulture.

From the site:
FaceCulture spoke to Mikael Akerfeldt from progmetal band Opeth about The Zombies, The Beatles, working with folk singer, hidden messages in cd booklet, start the album Watershed, departure of Peter Lindgren, his work, Peters tape with riffs, songwriting process within the band, not being an egomaniac and lots more.

Also on the same site there are a couple of other older Opeth, including one from the release of Ghost Reveries. Definitely worth checking out!

P.S. My internet was down for almost a week, or else this would have been posted sooner, sorry!

Opeth Article in Aquarian Weekly
Posted on May 20th 2008, at 6:57pm, by Larrik
I was passed a note today that Opeth is the featured band in Aquarian Weekly. Their website has an excellent lengthy conversation with Mikael and Fredrik. Its definitely worth a read.

(From the Article:)

The arrangements on the new album are far more complicated.

Mikael: It’s certainly a very complicated record, to the point where it’s exhaust[ing] to play. To play it, it’s exhausting. The first couple of rehearsals we did for it, I just came home, headache, tired, just went to bed. I was asking the other guys in the rehearsal room, ‘Do you get tired after rehearsals?’ They’re like, ‘Yeah, I pass out on the couch.’ It’s definitely, the arrangements are very complicated but it doesn’t really sound that complicated.
