Gig review: Opeth + Paradise Lost at The Piece Hall, Halifax
Opeth, Paradise Lost and Katatonia drew a nearly sold-out crowd to Halifax’s Piece Hall for a Yorkshire Day metal show. Paradise Lost showcased their pioneering gothic-metal sound and Halifax roots, while Opeth delivered a visually striking, genre-spanning set combining death metal, progressive rock, folk and space-rock. Mikael Åkerfeldt’s humour complemented the band’s ambitious performance, which concluded with an acclaimed rendition of “Deliverance.”
