Deliverance - M. Lopez and M. Mendez deserve a lot of credit for their rhythm work!

I just wanted to post my praise for the incredible rhythm work on Deliverance. Mikael and Peter usually always get most of the credit for this band, but I just want to express my appreciation for the excellent rhythm work of Martin Mendez and Martin Lopez on this album. It really shines. The bass is tight and spot on while the drum work is simply incredible and just kicks your ass all over the place. Great work guys!! I can't wait to see Opeth in the US!

Mendez did great work on BWP also, but the drumming didn't stand out much. They all came together on this one.

Yeah, definately one of the highlights (and possibly the saving grace) of Deliverance.

I still think that Mendez's best work so far is on BWP, but Deliverance comes in second. As far as Lopez, Deliverance has the best Opeth drumming ever.

The Martins are Opeth's secret weapon....I agree with Sunlapse, the already impressive drumming has been raised to new heights...

 

[Kushantaiidan]

The drumming on deliverence is just incredible..

END.

 

[bleed for me]

i like the bass work on BWP more...it stood out at the right times. but the drumming is undoubtedly the best on deliverance...it would be awesome to see them play deliverance live

the drumming on bwp was really great too, its just that it was dimmed down; drum volume was really low.

 

[Bloody B]

Lopez became quite the madman, right?

Great fucking drumming on this album. It gives the songs an edge they wouldn't have had with more modest drumming. That definately is what makes the album so heavy.

I absolutely agree with the pro-Martins' rhythm work praises.

 

[MountainDweller]

Like I've said many times before, I put Lopez in the ranks of Danny Carey.

Lopez is a great drummer, I knew he was more than capable of writting incredibly good metal drum beats, I mean, he was in Amon Amarth for christ sake.
