Band Opeth Title Lamentations: Live at Shepherd's Bush Theatre Type DVD Company Koch/Music For Nations YOR 2004 Style Death Popular Reviews   This is probably one of the top 5 most anticipated release for me. I live for this band and love everything they have done to date. For me this DVD is a constant reminder of the live experience that is Opeth. For anyone who has never seen them live, this DVD is a must have. This DVD truly captures the wonder and majesty that Opeth brings to each performance. An added bonus is that this DVD features their last two albums, "Damnation" (Mellow CD) and "Deliverance" (Heavy CD"). I had the pleasure of catching Opeth on the "Deliverance" tour and was totally blown away by their performance. They rival In Flames as far as their live sound goes. It is as good, if not better than the actual CD's themselves. Seeing them live allows you to absorb the music as it was meant to be heard and to experience all the feelings that run through you as they play a slow, heartfelt song like "Windowpane", or run to the other end of the spectrum and decide to shock you with the utter heaviness of "Master's Apprentice". The DVD is shot very well and done very professionally. It truly captures the live experience and never fails to send chills down my body each time it is in my DVD player. A lot of people complain about Opeth because of the fact that unlike most metal bands their songs are quite lengthy. While I could see this being a problem, I challenge yourself to think of another band that could make a 15 minute song seem like three different songs entwined as one. In order to truly appreciate the brilliance that Opeth has you have to have those long songs in there, otherwise the song would be hardly anything due to the complexity that Opeth puts into their songs. I have been listening to "Damnation" now for close to 4 months now and I am still picking up things that I didn't catch the previous time that I listened to it. So I suggest that you go out and buy this DVD because I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed. See why Opeth is becoming a huge phenomenon in the metal community and get swept up in the beauty and darkness that they so wonderfully melt together. --Chaoslord 03.23.04 ALL REVIEWS FOR: OPETH
