"The Roundhouse concert will always be a very memorable gig for us for many reasons, but most importantly it caught the band at the peak of the "Ghost Reveries" tour. I must say we're quite tight after 18 odd months on the road supporting the record. I'm extremely pleased we got it documented and I hope it will please our beloved fans as well. As an extra bonus we've decided to collaborate with one of our past labels for this release, the legendary Peaceville Records. Here's a toast to Hammy and Lisa for helping us back in the day as well as to the new team for preserving this pleasurable memory for today’s music lovers as well as for generations to come." – Mikael Åkerfeldt



‘The Roundhouse Tapes’ contains a captivating Opeth performance from the Camden Roundhouse, London, UK, on November 9th, 2006 (a gig which also featured Goth metal legends Paradise Lost), and sees the band in scintillating form churning out a selection of classics from their illustrious career. You know what to expect from Opeth: unrivalled composition; seamless progressive dynamics and boundless atmosphere from the mellow to the incredibly heavy, all sealed with the unmistakable vocal presence of mainman Mikael Åkerfeldt.



Since their formation in 1990 in Sweden, Opeth has risen to the forefront of the metal world over the years; bringing many aspects of progressive rock/metal to a whole new audience by combining soft acoustic ambience with complex, melodic & heavy guitar often familiar to forms of death/black metal, perfectly concocted into a completely peerless sound. A constant factor of their success is that the band have never been afraid to experiment with their song-writing ever since their debut album, ‘Orchid’, in 1994, all the while taking us through some truly magical & hypnotic soundscapes over the years.

Fans and critics alike herald the band as one of the best at what they do;

“Opeth create a shockingly beautiful thunder…(the) band continually expands the definition of what metal can be.” – Rolling Stone

“Metal’s most brilliant band.” – Revolver

“(Opeth) are close to making their own Black Album… Opeth (has) swelling appeal - and greatness.” – Alternative Press

“Few bands cover the vast emotional spectrum of heavy music as well as Sweden’s Opeth. Fast-rising stars on the progressive rock scene, this foursome possess an ability to rock the lights out as well as play patient, balladic prog-pop without crushing its audience with boredom.” – Guitar One

“…epic, chilling, ferocious, sure, but much of it flat-out ravishing.” – LA Weekly

I can't even begin to think of how long those songs are if there's only 6 songs on 1 cd.

they need to fucking drop demon of the fall and just play the entire "still life" album as the closer. or just serenity painted death. actually... they should drop the newer album material and replace those songs with songs from still life. serenity painted death and the moor.
