Opeth - Touring with The Sword in 2016

These boundary-pushing overlords have been busy carving a niche on the metal music scene since 1994, when they released their landmark debut album Orchid. The fantastic five-piece merged Pink Floyd's swaying sound with the acoustic guitars of folk heroine Joni Mitchell and more obvious metal influences like Dio, Alive Cooper and Iron Maiden to create a noise all of their very own. Despite many lineup changes, the group (now a quintet but still spearheaded by Akerfeldt) have remained at the frontier of heavy guitar music with albums such as Still Life and Damnation.

Exploring the depths of mysticism, the group's lyrics draw inspiration from Swedish folklore, telling darkly romantic tales. Famous for always putting on a show of grand proportions, the band's live performances are in eternal high demand. They'll play Wembley as the last date of their 2016 tour, so make sure you're there to hear songs like 'To Bid You Farewell' and 'Ghost of Perdition' live in the flesh.
