He was perfect for opeth, his latin jazz touch was just what they need. I feel like Martin Axenrot won't be able to create such nice drumtracks

[neon9999]

Completely agreed. However, he might add a different touch to the music, and I'm sure it will still rock since it's Mikael that writes the music. I'll miss him dearly though :(

yes martin lopez is hella better than axe

@Nubnut well said buddy ;) all these people just dont get it..

[Jackthestripper]

@Lateralus34 thankfully their new album showed otherwise, he really stepped up.

@neon9999

martin said himself (in documentary from) that he writes 95% of drums for opeth. mikael writes 95% of music but drums it just martin. and he is true genius in it

You fanboys are some of the most ridiculous I've seen.

I absolutely love and adore Martin Lopez, in fact he's my second favorite drummer of all time (behind Gavin Harrison). But dear god, Axenrot has done one album with Opeth so far. ONE! And you all think you're fit to judge his entire future career off of it.

Even so, Burden, Porcelain Heart, Hessian Peel and Hex Omega had some amazing groove and fills to them.

Will he ever replace Lopez? No. Will he create something new and amazing? Yes

Anyone who thinks axenrot is better than lopez, be it technically and/or as a fit for opeth, isn't really a fan of opeth at all.

for me i got nothing much to say abt him, as my nickname shows wat he means to me.... i love da way he approaches da music... its very sad dat he had to leave opeth on a drummer as shitty as axe.... no off.... bt i guess dats da truth..

[bjorn860]

@Lateralus34 Fucking agree with you man, totally there's no doubt about you said

[JBass2222]

I like both.

Bur seriously? people are saying Axenrot doesn't do much for Opeth? he is amazing for Opeth and he links so well with Mendez.
