About Dream of an Opium Eater
Dream of an Opium Eater is an audiovisual collaboration specially commissioned by Roskilde Festival 2007. For one hour on the evening of 07.07.07, a collection of horror films were accompanied by original musical score of an unsettling and epic nature. Carling Leeds festival subsequently invited the band to play a second show at Leeds 2007. BIO FROM ROSKILDE FESTIVAL WEBSITE: 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. 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. Last year, the latter joined in on a metallic accompaniment to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, so the surreal and disturbing images on the screen are very likely to find a parallel in the guitar-borne nightmare from the speakers.
