the loss of Martin Lopez was their death knell. Ghost Reveries was good, but unfocused, as he was considering leaving the band at that point. then to have Peter Lindgren replaced by Arch Enemy guy was laughable.

i'm glad i missed that 20th anniversary show, to see those classic songs without the key members is a travesty. the last time i saw them they did "The Night and the Silent Water" and it sounded atrocious, the magic is completely gone.

I never bought that any of the members in the band besides Mikael had any real influence on the band. It's a one man show, when it comes to the records.

Martin Lopez was beyond coked out in his final days with the band. The last time I saw him perform it was embarrassingly out of time, and then following day I read he was replaced by Gene Hoglan the next show.

Their current drummer is one of the best additions to the band. Real talented. When i saw them play at the House of Blue like two years ago it was tons of fun because they were playing loads of old material for their 20th anniversary. Rather then it being some lame nostalgic, "he let's play all the songs we don't actually care about anymore" set, the band was full of zeal because drummer put so much energy into the old songs.
