OPETH have released a new music video!
The new performance video, for the track §7, showcases the Swedish progressive metal legends delivering a focused and commanding rendition of a key composition from their latest album, The Last Will & Testament, which was released in November 2024, via Reigning Phoenix Music.
Speaking about performing the track, vocalist/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt shares, “that track was scary to play live at first. Most of our songs are challenging, I suppose, and this one is no exception. I believe we all love playing this one. There are a myriad of details that could go wrong though, but it’s fun. It keeps you on your toes. And of course, then there’s Ian Anderson’s narrations, which is the only thing in our set that isn’t ‘live’. Since we don’t play to a click-track, it’s dragging or pushing depending on the tempo of the evening. Again, it’s fun and I love the unforeseeable character of this song in a live setting. That’s a bit odd since I normally want to feel completely secure and really know what I’m doing. I generally don’t like surprises on stage.”
