   About Dream of an Opium Eater

Dream of an Opium Eater is a special collaboration originally created by invitation for Roskilde Festival.

For one hour on the evening of 07.07.07, a collection of horror films was accompanied by original musical score of an unsettling and epic nature.

Since then the band has also played the Carling Leeds Festival UK 2007, with a third show booked for Wacken Open Air, Germany on August 1st 2008.

Back in the old days, a pianist usually accompanied screenings of silent films. With Dream of an Opium Eater, a handful of ace metal musicians carry on this tradition. They play intense metal to a number of horror short films projected on a screen above them. In this way, they will bathe all ears and eyes in icy horror and fright. as the surreal and disturbing images on the screen find a parallel in the guitar-borne nightmare from the speakers..

The musicians are Ben Calvert from Killing Joke, Ivar S. Peersen from Enslaved, Reuben Gotto from Twin Zero / Johnny Truant and Julia Ruzicka from Million Dead.

Hey, just wanted to say
that your performance at the W:O:A was totally awesome, I am happy to not have watched Nightwish. While I first thought, your music might be a bit repetitive before I saw you, I was fascinated by the effect it created in combination with these short films.
Keep your work up! Don't know if I will ever see you live again, but when I find myself to have the chance, I'll look for how to get there ;).
