I've been searching for a torrent (or atleast more samples) of this album every day now. God, it sounds so amazing. Can't wait to hear the shoegaze parts...

Thank you, Vansan! Can't wait to see those pics.

From Sea of Tranquillity: I personally remember him very much for his talents in Ayreon's "The Human Equation" singing the part of "Father". You can see him in this video for the song "Loser": Godspeed, Mike.

Sorry guys, hopefully I will be able to get a picture of the said billboard up today. You have to see it for yourself...

It's not a fake! I saw advertisements for it too. I'll have to take a picture the next time I drive by.

I know, isn't that crazy? It's fucking bullshit if you ask me.

This is super super wierd! This was seen on a billboard, so I searched the cruise line that was being advertised, and wholah! The Opeth symbol! http://soleildusoir.com.p2.hostingprod.com/HOME/HOME.html This is what they had to say: Wierrrrrrrrrrrrrd!!!

Uh, no, it's saying why I feel it is an incoherent, uninteresting, unmoving closer.

You are definitely not alone, I agree. In reguards to Hex Omega, it is as fragmented and incoherent as Mikael has ever written. Don't get me wrong, it does quite follow the "intro-verse 1-chorus-verse 2-chorus-interlude-outro" structure, but there are few transitions (and even fewer that...

Shit thread. #1: You cite Opeth, Katatonia and Porcupine Tree as your favorite bands (and you got into the genre via Metallica to boot). There goes any credibility you might have had. #2: Mikael and Opeth are musicians and are fair game to criticisms, critique, and other forms of review...

+1 Hessian Peel is very overrated. The transition from the prog into the heavy section is abysmal. It really lacks any semblance of coherence.

Go read about it on the session diaries on the main page. It's a good read.

Seems to me this must have been, at maximum, six months ago. Tool are an excellent band. Maynard and Mike's singing have very little similarity. Mikael's is much more about layering, atmospherics, humming, and different vocal effects. Maynard has been considered by some to be a standard rock...
