Get Your Metal Horns Ready, Opeth Just Announced An Aussie Tour
Sweden’s metal superstars Opeth have revealed that they are hitting Australian shores for a full national tour! Following the sell-out of their Sydney Opera House ‘one-off’ show, fans will be stoked to know they can catch the band in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, and yes, even Perth!
Opeth are peerless in terms of evolution and longevity in the global metal scene, with a career spanning 25 years across 12 albums. Constantly evolving, they can’t be pigeonholed into any one genre, with songs ranging from death metal, folk, progressive metal, and hard rock.
The band is set to release their new album “Sorceress” on Friday, 30th of September. Their latest single Will O The Wisp continues Opeth’s exploration of folk and progressive rock styles in a medieval-inspired ballad, dripping with resonant acoustic guitars and open, spacey drums. Vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt’s iconic clean vocals soar over the song, sending the listener back in time to the age of knights, kings, sorceresses, and castles.
Opeth rose to fame on a worldwide scale with the release of albums “Deliverance” in 2002 and “Damnation” in 2003. Both albums unveiled the variety and complexity the band was capable of, with the former being an extreme death metal album and the latter being a soothing, progressive rock experience. Their popularity exploded down under with their 2008 effort “Watershed” reaching #7 on the ARIA charts.
Opeth hit Aussie shores in February 2017 as part of the Sorceress World Tour. Check out latest single, Will O The Wisp, and the upcoming tour dates below!
