Opeth - The Making of Deliverance and Damnation (Part 2) 

The end there - Mikael is like a child in his delight. Glad S Wilson worked on their stuff. Damnation is a masterpiece.

the smile on mike's face at 10:29 is so nice after the shit they went through before

Fuck yeah that Mellotron part on "To Rid The Disease" is the sort of thing that makes it worth having an instrumental / outtakes version of the record.

It made me happy hearing him say that Morningrise was a masterpiece, i always assumed he didn't care about it anymore

That melotron is just uuuuugh. Makes my skin come up in goosebumps, genius craftmanship.

Absolutely an amazing part. 9:50 Steven Wilson always a genius!

The look on Mike's face when Steve showed that mellotron :D

When Mike said he thought it would be the end of the band right there. I felt that this time. ( Seen this video before ) And we just might never have had Damnation/Deliverance, Ghost Reveries and all the subsequent albums. Opeth was broke up until these two albums, so they probably put all their money into this ambitious Double Album project, just to be served a shit sandwich by the studio - that shit would get any musician really fucking depressed. I'm glad they overcame it and were able to deliver that double album... Also the fact that Mike is the main songwriter means that the band would need a buffer time for rehearsals between when Mike completes the writing and the time when they enter the studio - By then a lot of songwriters already want to move to the next batch of new songs - LOL. Also you're supposed to pay the band for rehearsals which most of the time isn't the case. Especially in those years and in that scene. Now nobody at labels want to put money into that for up and coming bands. That's why we're seeing the rise of "Bedroom bands"

"Morningrise was considered the masterpiece" and "Ghost Reveries" was yet to come...

So cool watching steven wilson with a dillinger escape plan t-shirt

First time I hear Lopez speak. His voice is higher than I imagined.

9:00 daddy appears

9:50 is magic!

Damnation is my favorite album, I couldn't imagine all what was going on while they were made it. We never know anyway, it's fun to know how things are made of

I love Mikael and Steven together. Even though Storm Corrosion is a dark album musically, the guys themselves seem quite jovial.

Aye I'm dim. Started listening to Porcupine tree and just found out it's Steven Wilson's band, the producer they were working with

katatonia shirt. nuff said

2:12 Those fuckin drums , my goodness! sounds much better than the album

8:30 Like a boss!

I miss Peter. Fred may be a better technical player, but there was a certain atmosphere with Peter that just isn't there anymore, in my opinion

1:58 it looks like mike wants to punch that Jack Osborne-looking dude

That’s a good advertising for the studio where they recorded the album 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Miau!

10:40 onwards God does Mikael look joyous having Steven there.

what song is that at 10:00 ?

where are all these other albums that sound just like Morningrise? i sure haven't heard any

10.30 😂😂❤️❤️

I wish the drums on Damnation sounded as crisp as they did during the recording. They sound too timid and compressed

9:10 tDEP tshirt?

He is truly savage at writing music , the struggle to get this album done now I understand why he will never not play deliverance at a show lol

Wait, is that Fred helping them out in the studio before he joined?

What song 5:00

“This new software called Logic” 🤣🤣

I WONNA MARRY MARTIN

Did I hear that correctly? Political prog bands?

Mikael used to be a bit chubby :P

#vevo lol

10:33 Steven knew what he was talking about, I wish they never introduce keyboards and kept the original spirit of the band
