Opeth announces an exclusive concert in Stockholm in November and their European Tour
It is far from an exaggeration to say that Opeth has become one of Sweden’s most renowned and influential bands in the world. In all categories. With the new album “Pale Communion” just around the corner, we can now announce that the band will also perform a concert in Stockholm, Sweden at Münchenbryggeriet on Saturday 15th November. Tickets will go on sale on Friday, August 15 at 9:00 am.
Sweden’s true pride in Opeth is that they have always been steps before the rest of the metal world. They never cease to challenge themselves through difficult and experimental ways. Without ever losing themselves. Opeth stands in a class of its own with their heavy, progressive metal and elements from many other genres. Timeless, yet constantly evolving. In June the “Metal Hammer GodsAwards” took place in London where Mikael Åkerfeldt, the frontman, songwriter and singer of Opeth received the prestigious award “The Golden God Award”.
Opeth was formed back in 1990, but with the acclaimed album “Ghost Reveries” from 2005, it is clear that the band took to a whole new level and won new fans worldwide. Three years later, this was followed up with the masterpiece “Watershed”. An album that became an obvious success in the USA, but also in the rest of the world, reaching the top 20 in the charts in Japan, Australia and Canada. This was followed up with the band’s tenth album, “Heritage” released in 2011. Once again they outperformed themselves with their most successful creations so far. In the United States the album went straight to number 19 on the Billboard chart. Such an achievement was for many years the best a Swedish artist reached.
Next year is the 25th anniversary of Opeth as a band. However, there is no reason to wait with the party so long since Opeth will release the highly anticipated album “Pale Communion” on the 25th of August this year. This fact together with the joyful news that we now have the chance to see the band live in Stockholm, in the autumn, makes us start the celebration immediately.
