[Nickslikk2112]

Opeth were very good on Friday night. Good mix of songs, if a bit growly for Mrs S. Still almost a live band - taped bits of Ian Anderson speaking - thought the drummer had four arms at one point, but the drum tech was hitting a drum and bits of percussion from behind.

With it being in Brum we got the obligatory Napalm Death cover. Just once, not the four times last time I saw them in Brum.

Support act Grand Magus were decent too, proper meat and two veg METAL, a three piece with a Flying V playing guitarist, a bassist with an eight string Rickenbacker and a drummer with double bass drums. Somewhere between Manowar with a sense of humour and Saxon.
