opeth's Roadrunner Records Debut ideas

[FUBAR]

I would love to hear industrial/symphonic elements in the music. That would definately be a win in my book.

I like industrial but it just wouldn't fit opeths style

 

[The Dude]

Coon huntin', yeehaw!

 

[BRI]

On FFVIII he's easy, but runs away alot. There's a jumbo one on that one too, I believe - you have to kill it to get the summon, and that one is tough as balls.

 

[saut]

I hope for more acoustic guitars as opposed to all the clean electric parts.

I agree. While the clean electric parts are awesome in their own way and are definitly part of Opeth's sound now, there was something much more magical about the acoustic parts. I'm almost positive we'll be seeing a good deal of clean electric since Mike said there would be a song or two in the style of Damnation. I'm sure it'll be awesome, but here's to hoping we'll get a couple great folksy parts too!

 

[L0bster]

Cactuar pwns u all!!!11
And of course I enjoy the Final Fantasy games, yeah, simply among the best.

 

[deliverance]

i'd like to hear acoustic guitars too, and the hammond, yesssss. can't wait for the new material.

i really hope it's a concept album. who's with me?

 

[Anarkissed]

According to the almighty himself, that's what he was planning...but then again, he said a lot of things.

I was looking forward to that 2-track opus

yeah but dude, he said that over a year ago, plans change haha. it was just an idea in his head. but i hope he went through with it.

 

[FUBAR]

It would be cool the album was a concept album called the called 'Ghosts of Peridition' and each song represents a different ghost...

 

[rissy]

The Baying of The Hounds doesn't sound like a song about some certain ghost.

 

[deliverance]

maybe we'll see some of this

or this

and one can only hope for

but i know we'll get

hahaha it's funny the smiley actually looks like a pear, how perfect.

No it doesn't, it sounds like the title of an old hammer horror film

 

[affinityband]

Oh god i hope its not a concept becauser then there will be thousands of threads like ' my interpretation of opeths new lyrics' 'I figured out the concept to the new album' God they are the most boring types of threads ever. i wanna hear more on this cactus thing from final fantasy.

 

[rissy]

I think that the new album tells about Cactuar. The Baying of The Hounds is about how Cactuar has a battle against hounds. Ghost of Perdition is his other enemy. And he just wins everyone. So Isolation Year is the last song on the album and it is about how he is all alone in the world after killing everyone. That's a melancholic one.

 

[Henkka]

Could very well be. Who'd have thought Mikael is a Final Fantasy fan aswell!?

A concept progressive death metal album about Final Fantasy.. there is no way that can't be h4rdk0r as fuck.

 

[rissy]

Or maybe it has something to do with mgs 3.

 

[rissy]

That fucking accordion guy is best thing ever happened to mankind.
Christ The Baying of The Hounds rocks big time!

 

[rissy]

EWW come on I laughed my ass off when I saw that

 

[Profanity]

you have a weird sense of humour.

 

[Henkka]

@ Profanity: Dude, you can't say that you don't find that accordion guy funny.
Damn, just looking at it makes me laugh. That bastard will never grow tired of playing that accordion. Always with a smile on his face too. And you can see by the way he taps his foot that he's playing prog.

That's some crazy shit right there.
