New Text Interview

[Prophet178]

Pretty sweet interview, the last bit about a triple-album had me excited, even though I know its at least a couple years off.

[de_aztec]

thanks homie g

 

[hexwind]

Good interview, I hope they will do this triple album thing, it sounds awesome, but it needs time to be a GREAT thing not just a bunch of random stuff thrown together

 

[GhostVoices]

Holy heck...what's this I heard about Opeth doing a triple album?

 

[Cognitive Intercourse]

"Strangely enough, my idea for the next album is to do a Mastodon-type of project. A totally blown-out-of-proportion triple-album [laughs]. I dunno why. An epic album."

YES!!!!!

Thanks for posting this, Prophet178. Great interview!

Nice interview, just I don't know if Mike has been joking by saying about triple album. But, I'd like to hear'n'see that definitely.

Yeah, I won't believe it until I see it. And knowing Mike, he was probably either just joking about it or playing around with the idea in his head....but it's still pretty awesome to think about.

 

[Nasty-Fire]

Seriously, the Toki Wartooth stuff is just ridiculous. That character has been existing for over 5 or 6 years I think. C'mon.
The Mastodon album stuff... yay!!! That maybe explain why he wants to take a break... to write something FUCKING INCREDIBLE!

You'd think someone making an Opeth article in 2009/05 could have digged for a pic with Axe and Fredrik instead of Lopez and Peter...

(thanks for the link!)

 

[Iron-Earth]

Good to hear he's thinking of writing more music

...I can't wait years '_' Hurry Mikael

 

[Sepulfan]

...to write something FUCKING INCREDIBLE!

Would you expect anything other than that

 

[AstralliS]

Yeah, I won't believe it until I see it. And knowing Mike, he was probably either just joking about it or playing around with the idea in his head....but it's still pretty awesome to think about.

I agree with you, that's really fantastic idea by him. And at the other hand, maybe that triple sounds a bit pretentious, but double album would be fine. Although, it was primarily idea with Damnation/Deliverance albums, although I've always been looking on them as some kind of siblings (twins), making an epic album is great idea. And, as Mike is a die hard progressive rock fan, we can expect further progress, what would be amazing. I am very impatient, but for sure we'll not have chance to hear that new album before 2011. I'd like I am wrong, but...

 

[GhostVoices]

I find it difficult to believe that they'd really do a triple album, but anything is possible I guess.

 

[Lateralus14]

Mike likes to bullshit, like when he talked about doing something with black metal influences.

 

[Holocaust on the Moon]

And remember when Watershed was supposed to have a lot in common with My Arms Your Hearse?

 

[biggsy]

lol, was meant to be gr iirc

 

[AstralliS]

So, it all depends on Mike's mood.

 

[Nasty-Fire]

Would you expect anything other than that

Possibly. We never know. But I mean.. Watershed was great, don't get me wrong, but they can do something so fucking more amazing!

Yeah, he said that about Ghost Reveries I believe.
