OPETH Covers BON JOVI In Orlando (Video)

October 6, 2011

Video footage of vocalist/guitarist Mikael kerfeldt of Swedish progressive metallers OPETH performing a cover version of the BON JOVI classic "Wanted Dead Or Alive" during OPETH's October 1, 2011 concert in Orlando, Florida can be seen below. The crowd did all the singing during the impromptu cover, which drew laughter from some of the audience members.

OPETH's new album, "Heritage", sold 19,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 19 on The Billboard 200 chart.

OPETH's previous studio CD, 2008's "Watershed", opened with more than 19,000 units to land at No. 23.

"Watershed" was the follow-up to the band's acclaimed "Ghost Reveries" CD, which debuted at No. 64 on the Billboard chart back in September 2005 with first-week sales of just under 15,000.

OPETH's 2003 album, "Damnation", premiered with a little over 5,000 copies.

"Heritage" was produced by Mikael kerfeldt and was recorded earlier this year at Atlantis studios (formerly Metronome studios) in Stockholm. Mixing duties were handled by Steven Wilson (PORCUPINE TREE) and kerfeldt. Longtime collaborator Travis Smith also worked with kerfeldt to create, design and execute the album's artwork, which can be seen below.
