  • Opeth to Release Royal Albert Hall Performance

    Laney Endorsees Opeth are releasing a new live album In Live Concert At The Royal Albert Hall through Roadrunner Records on September 20th.

    Opeth are twenty years and nine records into their legendary career.

    The performance at the Royal Albert Hall was recorded on the 5th of April, 2010.  The show includes two sets, the first of which shows the band performing their now-classic, breakthrough epic, Blackwater Park in its entirety. The second, is a  chronologically arranged selection of material from the rest of Opeth’s extensive catalogue, totaling almost three hours of music.

    Laney Endorsee and fronman 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!”
