Opeth 2013 tour
2013-01-10 by Mabbitt | 94 Replies | 4294 Views

The ever-evolving Swedish band Opeth will return to North America in support of their most recent studio album, Heritage. Released September 20, 2011, it garnered rave reviews from everyone from Rolling Stone who called the album "a career record that reimagines prog as actual rock 'n' roll" to Pitchfork saying "a pretty, well thought out collection” to NPR who called it “equally vast, thoughtful and heavy.”

The tour will kick off on April 18th in Buffalo and will take the band throughout North America on a 30+ city tour. Katatonia has been confirmed as direct support for the tour.

Definitely buying a ticket. This will be my second time seeing Opeth. I caught them in 2011, they put on a really great show. I hope this one will have a more varied setlist, I love Heritage, but I really want to hear their older stuff.

Holy hell, there's actually an Indy date for this!

Will be there. I read somewhere that they will be revisiting their heavy material this time around, I like Heritage and all
but it's not the same live experience if they're not playing their bangers.

I was honestly not impressed seeing Opeth last year (or was it late 2011?). First time seeing them live and they only stuck with songs from their latest CD. Makes sense since they are touring to support the new material but meh, it just got boring after awhile. It's a shame Akerfeldt doesn't want to play any of the old stuff anymore. They did go into some Bloodbath (since Katatonia was there) which was a nice way to end it but still wanted a lot more.

I should have just waited for this tour rather than gone last year seeing as its the same lineup and they are actually going to ply heavy material now not just all their soft/prog stuff. Oh well.

i'm not upset, i was just trying to set the record straight. i even conceded that they haven't evolved THAT much, but to say that they are not "ever-evolving" is just wrong. the rantings and ravings of a butthurt anti-fan. whats the point of coming itt (which is quite old btw) just to say something like that?

what a horribly dumb statement
i've been known to jam ghost reveries and watershed quite often! your silly assumptions make you look like an ass. i'm not opeth's biggest fan because, quite frankly, a lot of their work is extremely similar and bores me, but if you enjoy how mikael's dick tastes, then by all means keep fellating good sir!

well we're all prone to make assumptions, just like you suggested that opeth was my favorite band. they are up there but i wouldn't say favorite. for instance, i thought heritage licked balls.

i'm not opeth's biggest fan because, quite frankly, a lot of their work is extremely similar and bores me

again, i don't agree with that statement, and I don't think most would either, but oh well. sure they have a "formula" if you will, but they still have experimented with different sounds/styles/production.
