The below info arrived in my inbox from the Opeth yahoo group.
"After years of anticipation and speculation, Century Media is proud to announce that it will be releasing the band's first full-length album, "Resurrection Through Carnage", featuring the same lineup as its first (and only) release, the classic "Breeding Death" EP (2000):
Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth) - vocals
Anders Nyström (Katatonia) - guitars
Jonas Renske (Katatonia) - bass
Dan Swanö (Nightingale, Edge Of Sanity, Star One) - drums
Upon releasing "Breeding Death", Bloodbath described themselves as "a tribute to the old-school death metal that reigned in the late '80s and onward." The response to the EP's three songs was tremendous. Metal Maniacs hailed it as "the collective effort of Sweden's most prolific and talented powerhitting songsmithers... Finally, a supergroup has taken the idea of praising the glory years of death metal...and further, this supergroup has done the right thing by pooling its abundance of talent to form something new instead of falling victim to the stylistic trappings of the retro movement."
Travis Smith (Death, Iced Earth, Opeth, Testament) has completed the artwork & layout for "Resurrection Through Carnage", the cover of which guitarist Anders Nyström calls "A nod (in gore) to the KISS 'Destiny' album."
Speaking of the new material, Mikael Åkerfeldt (who let loose his corrosive throat on the entire album, in addition to providing guitars) calls it, "ten tracks of purest form winterlike death metal", an album of old-school headbanging bliss that recalls the glory days of Swedish savagery at the dawn of the '90s.
Recorded by Dan Swanö in February and March at his own Unisound studio, "Resurrection Through Carnage" contains the following ten songs:
1. Ways To The Grave
2. So You Die
3. Mass Strangulation
4. Death Delirium
5. Buried By The Dead
6. The Soulcollector
7. Bathe In Blood
8. Trail Of Insects
9. Like Fire
10. Cry My Name
