Merely speculation, but if he's having trouble performing them, then it's possible they might not make a comeback.

I'm definitely pretty let down by the lack of death vocals. Damnation was cool because it was clear from the beginning that it was going to be a softer album of just softer songs, and Deliverance and BWP were still pretty fresh. Now, though, it's been 3 years since we've had a new album, so...

Whenever they initially come out, I listen to it and think, "this sounds cool", but it never quite clicks fully. Then, a month or two later, I'll fall in love with one of the songs, then another, and another, until finally I realize how awesome the entire album is. I first noticed this with...

Yeah. Damn, it'd be cool to just have the logo above my bed or something.

I've seen Opeth flags/cloth posters (not really sure which you'd call it) of the Opeth logo -- nothing else. I'm trying to find one to buy, but the only ones I've seen have the Ghost Reveries cover as well. Although that'd be cool, I'd prefer one with just the logo (or just the O). Anybody...

I haven't used DC++ in forever, but now when I need it I find that a lot of my old ones either don't exist or redirect me somewhere weird. What are the current hubs of choice?

I've been listening to Pyramaze's album with Barlow on it a lot lately, and it sounds so good. It's great to hear Barlow's voice with some different types of music.

I agree with this. Every now and then he has songs that are pretty strong - the ones you mentioned are actually pretty good. But it seems like the quality to shit ratio has been getting worse and worse D:

When I heard that they had Matt Barlow back in the band, I was pretty excited and eagerly awaited their next album. I liked Owens, but I think Barlow is better suited to Iced Earth than Owens. But even with Barlow back, Iced Earth has been a disappointment. The Crucible of Man was pretty...

And er, I take that back about the 'self-importance' part. I missed RoadKing's second post somehow, heh. Whoops :X

You know, I think that might be right actually. "The Moor" is the song that initially got me into the band, and Still Life was the first album I listened to in its entirety. It's not even that I haven't given the other albums a chance, it's just they haven't touched me quite to the depth of...

Burden's emerged as my favorite. Initially, Heir Apparent and Porcelain Heart were my favorites.

Hear me out here, I'm not saying they're awful now, I think they're great. Just not as good. I'm not trying to flame or anything, just voice my opinion. When I listen to Still Life, I'm completely caught up in it. The music itself has such an atmosphere that's still unlike anything I've ever...

Aside from Opeth, what are bands/projects/whatever in which Akerfeldt sings clean vocals on? I know of Ayreon and that Roadrunner United song, are there others?

The Ayreon song on THE "Day 3: Pain" has an intro that sounds like something from 007 too.
