| Opeth - The Roundhouse Tapes (2008)  Opeth was formed in 1990 by vocalist David Isberg. He later recruited bassist Mikael Åkerfeldt without the consent of the
other band members he previously hired, which resulted in the departure
of all members except Isberg and Åkerfeldt. Isberg soon left, but
Åkerfeldt decided to remain in the band and keep it in activity. For
this he contacted guitarist Peter Lindgren, bassist Johan DeFarfalla,
and drummer Anders Nordin. With this lineup, they recorded a demo, which
led to the band’s first record label contract. Candlelight Records
signed the band. In 1995, Opeth released their first studio album,
Orchid, and after more changes to the lineup, the band released
Morningrise and My Arms, Your Hearse in 1996 and 1997 respectively.
Åkerfeldt and Lindgren, the two remaining members of the band, asked
drummer Martin Lopez and bassist Martin Mendez to join the band, both of
whom accepted. In 1999, they released the concept album Still Life.
Steven Wilson joined Opeth in the studio for their fifth album, 2001's
Blackwater Park, producing and providing extra backing vocals and
instruments. The band supported the album with their first worldwide
tour. After promoting the album, Opeth entered the studio again,
recording two albums. The first album, Deliverance that was released in
2002, debuted at number 19 on the Top Heatseekers in the United States.
The second album, Damnation was released a year later, and peaked at
number 192 on the Billboard 200. Per Wiberg joined the band as a
keyboardist and recorded Ghost Reveries, which peaked at number 64 on
the Billboard 200. Lopez and Lindgren both left Opeth and were replaced
by Martin Axenrot and Fredrik Åkesson. In 2008, the band released their
ninth studio album Watershed, which debuted at number 23 on the
Billboard 200 and peaked at the top of the Finnish charts. Their tenth
studio album Heritage which released in 2011, debuted at number 19 on
the Billboard 200, at number 2 on the US Hard Rock Albums and at No. 6
on the Rock Albums charts, making it highest charting record to date.
Also, the album peaked on the UK Albums chart.

The Roundhouse Tapes is a live double album by the Swedish progressive
death metal band, Opeth. The CD was recorded on November 9, 2006 and was
released on November 5, 2007 in Europe and on November 20, 2007 in the
rest of the world. A two disc DVD version was released on November 10,
2008 and includes exclusive menu music written by Mikael Åkerfeldt and
Per Wiberg. The title is a play on the name of Iron Maiden's first
release The Soundhouse Tapes, as well as the venue where the record was
recorded. Mikael Åkerfeldt said that "The Roundhouse concert will always
be a very memorable gig for us for many reasons, but most importantly
it caught the band at the peak of the Ghost Reveries tour".
