New Opeth MP3

Yeah, its a streamed web-radio rip. It was encoded into such high quality MP3 because we didn't really want to lose any more quality on top of what was already lost.

I'm quite excited. Doesn't strike me quite as orgasmic as Still Life, but this song alone defecates over the entire Deliverance album.
 
From the horrible stream-rip quality, I can tell a few things...

This really seems to combine the best aspects of their quasi double album Deliverance/Damnation. Mikael's using fewer notes inside his chords on this one, which gives it a nice heavy simplicity (well... in Opeth terms.) The keyboards and orchestration remind me of the best aspects of Dream Theater's classic material. This is all very good!!!

Can't wait for the album!

I thought the synth arrangement was pretty lame personally... but thats just me.
