I think Mikael Akerfeldt should record the clean vocals first, then go crazy with the "drity" vocals on the upcoming album. I think he should reach those Bloodbath lows, and do some black metal screams and equal it out with the great vocals he's none for. Maybe they should get Steve Wilson to scream a few lines, what do you think?

I wish he'd consider going back to the Morningrise/Orchid growls, those were very epic, and would suit a black metal style album a lot more.

Personally I like his Deliverance growl style a lot....like the "rise to submission" part in By The Pain I See Others. I'd love if he would vary the growl styles somewhat though and have some higher screams and some lower growls. As for the clean vocs I can't see him go wrong in any possible way.

Mikael really does have an awesome devilish growl on the Bloodbath albums, but as far as Steven Wilson...
see I don't really think he'd be able to get that low. He's been singing his entire career so going to growls now would probably only hurt his voice a bit for his band Porcupine Tree.

i trust we will not be disappointed by mikael's vocals on the new material. he is just such a phenominal vocalist. ah, i can't wait. i agree it would rule if we heard some bloodbath-esque vox.

No, Definitely not. I would personally like it if Steven Wilson's contributions to the next Opeth album were kept to an extreme minimum.

I think Ihsahn would sound completely irrelevant as he has been singing some kind of shriek vocals so far. and he absolutely sounds a lot different than mikael. in my opinion mikael is capable of doing anything that fits opeth. I mean both growls and screams. there may be some guest musicians to add some spice but it shouldn't go that far.

Ihsahn has awesome black metal voices. His chanting loud operatic ones and his black metal rasp kicks ass.
Not sure if opeth have done this yet as I don't really have many albums, but I think it would be cool. You know how in Bleak, Wilson and Mikael answer each other for a few lines,,,not really answer, but trade off.

Why not have a section with growl vox that really answer each other. Mikael himself could probably pull it off, or he could bring in another comparable growler (does it exist?)

Those 3 would find some kind of compromise... some kind of common hybrid-metal-of-death ground. It'd be like Symphonic Progressive Death Metal... with really shitty sounding guitars \m/... and really really fast drums...

And there was me joking about Swanö.
As far as Steel vocals go at least. He's kinda useless on an Opeth album vocal-wise...but yes, that trinity would be quite an interesting one.Hey, no shitty sounding guitars! Just listen to that crunch on Prometheus.
