Full live capture of the 2024 Bloodstock Open Air headline set, on 9 August at Catton Park, England. Swedish progressive-metal giants Opeth deliver a special show: a fan-voted setlist that favours their progressive death metal era of the early 2000s. It opens with « The Grand Conjuration » and runs through « Demon of the Fall », « Ghost of Perdition » and « Deliverance » as an encore. Mikael Åkerfeldt alternates clean vocals and growls, backed by Fredrik Åkesson’s guitar, Martín Méndez’s bass, Joakim Svalberg’s keyboards and Waltteri Väyrynen’s drumming. This full concert of roughly 1h25, filmed in professional conditions, showcases the stagecraft of a band that redefined the borders between extreme metal, progressive rock and jazz. For the metal enthusiast, this Bloodstock 2024 live concert offers an ideal overview of Opeth’s heaviest catalogue, served by polished sound and image production and by the energy of a devoted British festival crowd. A reference document of contemporary progressive metal performed live before tens of thousands.
