"more brutal version" of Sounds of Decay...?

[AlexanderRadlinski]

Does anyone actually have this? and if so - would anyone be up for trading a dub of it for anything on my list ??? Or is this all "hush huush" and "shush shush" etc?

If anyone is into Arcturus - I also have a rough track of Kinetic... [recorded WAYYYY before "T.S.Mirrors" [it has different guitars, and is keyboard + programmed drums and no vox] Dunno if any one here is into Arcturus?

http://home.iprimus.com.au/alex28/list2004.txt < My list - needs updating, but getting a big trade soon so it will be updated then...

Also Hi one and all
Im back [AsWeWither or something was my user thingee]

 

[Venenum Veritas]

Only Mike (of opeth) has that version. Unless he's made copies and given it to friends.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Interesting. I'd like to hear this.

 

[Cerulean]

Me to, I recommend trying to contact Mikael (search for him on the Opeth forum and send a PM) and ask him if he would share it with us

 

[AlexanderRadlinski]

I see, well, as futile as it may seem, who knows haha!

From Opeth.com, written by Mikael himself:

"I was almost like a full time member during this time. Opeth wasn’t doing so well, and I had all the free time there was. When asked to do the vocals for this one, there was no hesitation. We actually recorded 2 versions of this 3 track ep. The first was a lot more brutal than the version that got released. To this day I regret that Katatonia didn’t use that first version as I think it’s a lot better. Still a great ep from a great band."

Good luck trying to find it. Oh, and I love Arcturus...if I could somehow get that song, that'd be awesome.

I wouldn`t be surprised if this material shows up on the upcoming 2CD release!

 

[Cerulean]

I'm gonna ask Mikael.

thank you(?) for using my exact words to make the title of this thread.
-sure hope someone finds out if there were more than just ONE copy of this version of Sounds of Decay, though

 

[AlexanderRadlinski]

It would be intersting to say the least....[to hear this second version]
Sounds Of Decay is my favourite Katatonia release and I plan on covering the whole of it with my band as part of our setlist [well, Id like to/think that it would be awesome]

Im eagerly [as im sure a lot of you are as well] awaiting the Katatonia dvd !!

 

[Cerulean]

Aaah I'd love to hear those covers! I was just planning to cover Nowhere or At Last, but I'd want someone to work together with, someone who could make the drums.

 

[Bellum]

Hello.

I totally agree that this version of Sounds of Decay must be published. Its very interesting! So, please somebody send a PM to Blackheim or Mike from Opeth, and ask about it !

 

[dAnus]

at least the fans on the board have to have the opportunity to listen to it

 

[AlexanderRadlinski]

Hey Cerulean, I sent you a message regarding covers etc.. check your private messages and get back to me or something if you are interested

 

[Commence Destruction]

nothing on this yet? :hotjump:

 

[Cerulean]

Hey shit I never got a reply from Mikael, not even a confirmation that he read it.

 

[yourdeadgroom]

Hey shit I never got a reply from Mikael, not even a confirmation that he read it.

Opeth are currently on tour

 

[Bleak Eyes]

What is Mikael's and Anders' user names?

 

[yourdeadgroom]

Anders- Blakkheim
Mikael- Mikael Ackerfeldt (the 'A' has that circle thing above it)

That's assuming I spelt both (or either) of those right, which I probably didn't

 

[MadTinus]

You didn't , Akerfeldt is without the "c".

But, I didn't know this more brutal version existed, would love to hear it, it MUST be included on Brave Yester Days!! I'll look for it on DC++.. just maybe someone has it..
