published on April 6, 2011 by Zandra Keyboardist Per Wiberg has left the progressive metal band
Opeth. Commented guitarist/vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt :
"
Well, it's been somewhat of a revolving door of members during the last couple of years, and now Per is no longer a member. [Martin] Mendez [bass], Axe [Martin Axenrot, drums] and Fredrik [Åkesson, guitar] and I came to the decision that we should find a replacement for Per right after the recordings of the new album, and this came as no surprise to Per. He had, in turn, been thinking about leaving, so you could say it was a mutual decision. There's no bad blood, just a relationship that came to an end, and that's that. We wish Per the best, and he did a splendid job recording keyboards for the last record, which stands as his final recording with OPETH."

published on March 25, 2011 by Unfurl Opeth to release "In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall"
published on July 21, 2010 by Darren Cowan New York, NY: As part of the ongoing celebration of their 20th anniversary, Sweden’s
OPETH is releasing live footage and audio from the band’s recent performance at London’s famed Royal Albert Hall.
In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall, due out 9/21/10, is a fierce
testament to
Opeth’s continued success in the progressive metal community.
Twenty years and nine records into their legendary career,
Opeth’s “progressively creative spirit” (ARTISTdirect) remains unwavering, propelling the band through the “Evolution XX: An
Opeth Anthology” tour, which brought the Swedish titans to six of the world’s most unique venues, and now, with the release of
In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall, into the homes of their fans.
The performance at the Royal Albert Hall (recorded on the 5th of April, 2010) includes two sets, the first consisting of the band performing 2000’s now-classic, breakthrough epic,
Blackwater Park in its entirety, and the second, a chronologically arranged selection of material from the rest of
Opeth’s extensive catalog, totaling almost three hours of music. It is, like the rest of
Opeth’s greatest work, “purposefully warped in all the right places” (Decibel). The front cover artwork concept pays tribute to
Deep Purple´s
Concerto for Group and Orchestra, underlining the band’s longstanding love for their prog-rock roots.
Thinking back to the concert, frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt says "Opeth had a magical night playing the Royal Albert Hall. It was a dream come true, and now afterwards, it still feels like a dream. We got it all on film, and this, our third live recording and DVD might be my personal favorite. One couldn't help to think of all the fantastic artists that played there over the years. Looking back at this night of celebration brings me fond memories of our 20th anniversary—this package is the delayed birthday present. Enjoy!"
