a little introduction for those who haven't had the pleasure: "Opeth is a progressive death metal band from Sweden that is influenced by many diverse musical styles ranging from jazz, 70s progressive rock, death metal, and blues. Their recent releases have deviated from their traditional death metal influenced style, with more emphasis on progressive elements. Vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt is also noted for utilizing both clean singing and death growls, often in the same track. Due to their unique blend of melodic and progressive elements, Opeth are often classified separately from more typical death metal acts. The name Opeth was taken from Wilbur Smith’s novel Sunbird and derived from Opet, a city of the moon named in the novel." -Last.fm
For me this band has been a stepping stone into genres and music scenes I've never even dreamed of existing. 'Canterbury' & 'progg' were things I didn't know off and not even taking in consideration that this also resulted in rediscovering my love for vinyl records. Anyways, during their European Tour 2008 Opeth played in my favourite venue, Amon Tobin recently called it "arguably the best sound system in Europe", the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, BE. Below, the video's of their set (almost complete).
Line-up:
DJ Mental (FM Brussel)
The Ocean
Cynic
Opeth
only footage of Opeth, italic titles are captured:
Heir Apparent
The Grand Conjuration
Godhead's Lament
The Lotus Eater
Hope Leaves
Deliverance
Demon Of The Fall (partial)
Encore: The Drapery Falls

Down here is a clip I found, a little prog-rock-quiz, Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree, Bass Communion, etc) vs Mikael Åkerfeldt... it's a massacre...

Describing Audrey’s music is no easy task. If the group has succeeded in finding a central theme, it’s a balance in the melodies - shimmering, beautiful moments of pop meet dark sadness.
The harmonies (everyone in the group shares vocal efforts) shift quickly between keys and moods. Straightforward, conventional narrative is replaced by abstract meanings which strengthen the melodies. -Last.fm
Static captation of their set on November 21st, 2008 at the Arenberg Schouwburg in Antwerp, BE.
Opening that night, surprisingly, was Mrs. Hyde, playing an acoustic set. No captions of this because of some regretted, self-imposed 'no opening act policy' but make sure to check them out...

On October 15th 2008, the majestic Ipecac funeral doom jazz act Bohren und der Club of Gore played their second show on their European tour at the Ancienne Belgique Club. Opener for the night was Alexander Tucker, until a few weeks ago a complete stranger for me. He displayed some novice use of stringed instruments and even more fx & loop pedals but scheduling him before Bohren wasn't the best move in the history of opening act planning.
Anyways, gloomy Wednesday night in Brussels, a small club and some doomy deep resonating funeral jazz... an ideal gig to be sitting on the frontline bass speakers with a fresh Duvel beer while the camera struggles to keep focus with all that bass.

The Line up:
Belgian Asociality

The Garbage Gang

Artwork & poster design was done by Toro, and goes without saying, another collectors item.
A day of psychedelic garage stoner cover alternative rock a psycho drunk'a'billy punk core metal with local and not so local heroes and bands. My camera spend the day at the PA set, taping it for future generations (read; those who didn't remember too much of it the day after).
The result 70+ youtube vids. Below a filled-to-the-rim player with all of them, check my youtube for the playlists of Belgian Asociality, The O'Haras, The Garbage Gang, Nonaz, Deadfatso & Macho Mortale

Only a few months after seeing them live the first time at the 21st Anniversary Schizoid Boat, Anekdoten toured around Europe. Making their second stop on May 10th at the unmatched JH Sojo, Leuven BE, for another brilliant show.
Anunnaki, the support act was the perfect opener for the night, psychedelic ebow & other soundwaves injected along with some old-skool, liquid retro psychedelic slideshow while puffing away... it was a great first encounter with this band...
Anekdoten proved themselves to be one hell of a tight live act once again. I could go on about how good they were, but why should I if you can see it for yourself hu...? I was there at the frontline, and so was the handheld video capturing device.

On October 29th, 2006 the Swedish melancholic post-rock-ish band Paatos played at the infamous Spirit of 66, Verviers, BE. They were supported by the UK band Lo-ego who has, after a short 'reconfiguration' named The Earth Died Screaming, disbanded in the meanwhile.
For me this gig was sort of a mile- and stepping stone in the Swedish contemporary prog rock/metal scene and the most astonishing 'progg' scene. Being able to discus all these with the band themselves after the gig was most memorable -to say at least- hanging out and just doing some 'prata strunta' once the Spirit closed created a small bond that would prove to be rather strong on later encounters.
It was also here that I had the luck of meeting Stefan Dimle -bassplayer of Paatos, Morte Macabre and the late Landberk-, owner of the Mellotronen record store & label who was just starting of promoting the 20th Anniversary Melloboat cruise. A 'solid ground' was layed down for future encounters and some more mindbending musical discoveries.
To cut it short, a memorable first Paatos gig (for me), a first Spirit of 66 experience and the pleasure of being one of the privileged to witness Lo-ego in all it's, short lived, glory.
Footage below is of Paatos' gig, before their gig we, Prockmedia, also had the opportunity to interview the vocalist Petronella Nettermalm about life on the road and the general Paatos experience... I'll be holding the interview back for now since it will be put to good use on the Prockmedia project one day... hopefully.

Aereogramme were a Scottish alternative/post-rock rock band from Glasgow.
Formed in April 1998, the band released two 7" singles in 1999 before signing to Chemikal Underground in early 2000, at which point they recorded two EPs before releasing their first full-length, A Story in White, in 2001. Sleep and Release followed in 2003 but the band moved to Undergroove Records soon after for their third official release, Seclusion. However, the group re-signed to Chemikal Underground in August 2006.
Their fourth album, My Heart Has a Wish That You Would Not Go was released in Europe and the United States on 29 January 2007 and in Japan on the 14 October 2006, taking its title from the novel The Exorcist. In a recent interview, singer Craig B. revealed the long delay between releases was partly due to losing his singing voice for six months. "We didn’t know if it was going to continue so everybody went their separate ways waiting for my voice to come back. I went to see a throat doctor and he told me to eat yogurt which I did and it did absolutely nothing. The only thing that made any difference was time 'cause I'd spent the previous couple of years screaming every single night and whiskey and smoking and that was just a horrible combination. I think my body just said stop."
On 11 May 2007, in a message board post, Aereogramme announced they were to disband:
The band played their last ever show at the Connect Festival in Inverary, Scotland on 31 August, 2007.
Live @ Paradiso on July 11th, 2005.

“It is with heavy hearts that we tell you all that Aereogramme have decided to split up. Reasons are multiple and complex. It is however fair to say that the never ending financial struggle coupled with an almost superhuman ability to dodge the zeitgeist have taken their toll, ensuring that we just don't have any fight left in us.
We are immensely proud of the four albums that we made over the past seven years. We hope that they continue to grow in your hearts. We plan to honour and celebrate the beautiful friendships we have made along the way with these final shows over the summer.”
The band played their last ever show at the Connect Festival in Inverary, Scotland on 31 August, 2007.
Live @ Paradiso on July 11th, 2005.
