I've watched Lamentations several times and it's insane.

Ah, Akerfeldt is absolutely hysterical live.

"Who saw us at *don't remember the name* Steakhouse?"

Tons of screaming.

"Who saw us at *don't remember the name* Steakhouse and just ate steak?"

One solitary, drunken yell.

"MOTHER****ER!!!"
