That's going to be quite good.

waaaaaaaa its soon

20 pound ticket. kiss my face.

that was prime

That was a very nice evening! Cynic were definitely the highlight for me, it just made so happy to see them play songs like Veil of Maya and How Could I. The new songs sounded amazing aswell, The Space For This and Evolutionary Sleeper were really bloody brilliant.

Opeth were of course amazing, it's just a shame people were talking over the lovely quiet sections, this pretty much ruined Hope Leaves for me.

I really can't be bothered to go into the details of Opeth's set but they were very, very good. Great evening. Jamie's beard is fantastic, I'm going to rape him.

i only saw jamie (and boove of course), i wanted to meet jonny and talk about sopranos and diagonal and have a bloody office wank

yeah Jamie's jesus beard is impressive indeed.

also the ocean were pretty good (apart from the brutal singer)

yeah jamies beard gets my seal of approval

How annoying are opeth fans though?

Yeah, what a shame indeed I didn't meet you Norsey, everyone ran off to the back but I wanted to stay in the crowd down below where the atmosphere was much better and there wasn't as much talking through the quiet bits (idiot Opeth fans), so I win. It was amazing, fucking hell, I love Opeth. They make me want to cry with so much joy. The new songs were amazing, especially Heir Apparent. The Lotus Eater was also amazing but the sound was a bit of a shame and it was a bit muddy. Deliverance was fucking hell bloody unbelievable! The ending made me ejaculate seven hundred and two times. What else was amazing... Godhead's Lament, unbelievable, bloody hell! And Hope Leaves was fucking brilliant, Fred's guitar solo at the end was pure sex up the arse. He really is bloody good. Bleak was amazing, The Drapery Falls was amazing (but perhaps not the right song to finish a set on), but the best bit was when Mikael played the melody from the beginning of Hessian Peel, paused, and said "Make sure you come back next time." I nearly cried with joy... but now I'll be very upset if they don't play Hessian Peel next time!

Anyway everything else was amazing, Cynic was nice but I couldn't always hear what was going on at the back, but the bloody hell the drummer's incredible. Wonderful stuff. Caught the end of The Ocean, didn't seem to impressive really.

All in all, another unbelievable Opeth fun time. It was also really good to see Mikael running around everywhere, I've never seem him that excited before, it looks like he's more confident now and not just standing still all the time. Maybe he's finally realised how amazing his music is. Whatever reason, bloody lovely.

Oh yes actually, the best bit! We came out of the venue to see Stefan, the organiser of the Melloboat, handing out flyers for next year's festival! Bloody hilarious. We said hello then he gave some flyers to me and my beardy friend Paul to hand out, so we did. And then suddenly I felt someone peering at the flyer over my shoulder... and how about that, it's Roger Wooton, the mental singer of Comus! He was a lovely man and we said hello and told him how amazing he was for a few minutes. And then even more hilariously, a couple of guys from Leafhound came over, which was brilliant, so we had the best most hilarious time ever talking about Metalbrew and Melloboat and all hilarious things.

And I also got a lovely Watershed t-shirt. So basically, that was a very amazing evening!

opeth were so prime, best i've seen em

They are the worst! total n00bs man. going to an opeth show in london is such a n00bathon.

Seeing Opeth in manchester a couple of years ago was much better, real people not total n00b dicks. (HAHAHAHA!!)

Yeah it was a good show though, i guess i do still like opeth. shame they weren't so funny this time!they need to stop trying to be professional and just be hilarious... like judas priest. meeting rodger and stephan and jim was cool, was good to see them all again.

Cynic were also pretty wicked.

good night, shame i'm so bloody short as the empire is not a good venue if you are below general crowd height... luckily found a purch upstairs (at the top of the stairs) which was a pretty good view, but meant not much atmosphere and people pushing past every 5 seconds going to the toilet or bar or gaylords room.

nice to see Boove and Norsey. not so nice to see Spencer, my bum hurts now.

Of course you still like Opeth, the only reason you thought you didn't is because I went so mad about Watershed and ruined it for you.

The tickets were twenty quid.... oh for fucks sake.

I never realised how good he song Deliverance is. I've been listening to that alo since the gig. And the last few songs of My Arms. Absolute pr1m3.

The usual habits of the Elton bird. He sits on his perch, his dark sinewy wings folding, he lets out his unmistakable, terrifying screech. Now the waiting begins.
Waiting for the unsuspecting prey to idly pass him by.

His sharp eyes fix in upon what he has been looking for, the hunt, the kill... Some poor Noob (Noobifus Opethus) in a bootleg Opeth shirts wanders around aimlessly, mouthing the words to lyrics he doesn't know. Tapping his foot and nodding his head to the sounds that he doesn't understand.

The Elton bird swoops down, his talons flashing menacingly, the attack is swift, the defenseless Noob probably never knew what hit him.
As the Elton bird relentless ravages the carcass, he knows more will come and all he must do is wait... Just wait. And with that, he unfolds his great wings and ascends back to his nest.
