OPETH, KATATONIA Members Perform BLOODBATH Songs In Baltimore (Video)

November 4, 2011

Members of Swedish progressive metal bands OPETH and KATATONIA who comprise the death metal "supergroup" BLOODBATH joined forces for a two-song encore this past Wednesday, November 2 at the final stop of the OPETH/KATATONIA tour at Ram's Head in Baltimore, Maryland. Fan-filmed video footage of the performance can be seen below.

BLOODBATH's concert DVD, "Bloodbath Over Bloodstock", came out on April 25 via Peaceville Records. The deluxe mediabook-packaged set features BLOODBATH's August 2010 performance from the Bloodstock festival one of the U.K.'s leading metal events consisting of songs from the critically acclaimed "The Fathomless Mastery" (2008) album, as well as other classics and fan favorites. The full package also includes a 16-page booklet and a wealth of extras, featuring bonus footage taken from Germany's Party.San Open Air festival in 2008 and extensive band member interviews.

"Bloodbath Over Bloodstock" was filmed by The Dark Box, a U.K.-based production company that specializes in providing services for the music industry.

"The Fathomless Mastery", the most recent studio album from BLOODBATH, sold around 1,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD debuted at No. 45 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

BLOODBATH's lineup on "The Fathomless Mastery" is the same as that on BLOODBATH's "Unblessing the Purity" mini-CD, which came out in March 2008:
