Porcelain Heart video screen-shots

[rissy]

Be easier, I'm joking - take a look at the smileys. Really hate these talks about Opeth sold out. They never was a commercial band - even on "Damnation". Roadrunner have some money to put in promotion - it;s very good and it doesn't make Opeth's music more commercial or worse.

Yeh, sorry. That just felt so stupid thing to say at the time. peac eout

Somebody please get on photoshopping those Porcelain Heart screenshots! I thought I could see the Immortal guys in one of them....

 

[BrandonS]

What the fuck? Using much money on a album doesn't mean they're selling out.

It actually means they're getting deeper and deeper in debt, and they'll have to release another great album to make up for it... then again, they'll have money in that one too. Looks like an endless process!

 

[Blind Guardian]

Both the cover and the vid are 16th century-ish,i wonder if this is some theme for the whole album.

 

[HoursOfDebt]

This is the best I could do - I'm not as l33t as some of you guys.

thanks man! you rule

 

[Scarecrow23]

You mean this'n?

What band is that? I quite like it...

 

[burntoast]

Kalmah. They fucking rule.

 

[Mr. Bland]

Anyways I like Mikael and Mendez's new instruments. I don't know about you guys, but I think it's the first time I've seen Mendez with a 5-string bass.

Doesn't look like a five string to me, I clearly see 4. Look at the tuning pegs.

 

[outerone]

Ill be one of the only ones on the liking side. I think these images are cool, beatiful lighting and composition. And those shots of the band and Mike, really cool. This video I think might be pretty cool. Plus these image alone stand a million miles from Cradle of Crap videos, you can tell someone who knows a thing or two about cinemaphotography was behind these shots!!

 

[BefriendedUnit]

I don't know about you guys, but I think it's the first time I've seen Mendez with a 5-string bass.

Holy shit! Good one... I didn't notice. Is he gonna be one of THOSE bass players from now on, you think?

EDIT: On second inspection, I dunno. Definitely looks like a 5-string to me.

 

[Nailed Reaper]

Mendez played 5-string bass on Mellobobat while performing with Axe and Nathalie.

And Mike's red beauty is also not a new one - he plays it live sometimes.

 

[Contra dk]

I think it looks great. Love the blue style in it and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result.

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

The more strings the more proggy. Not really.

 

[Sinten]

it looks more promising than tgc but we'll have to wait and see

That's a 5-string. Count the strings, and you'll notice that there's 5 .

More than likely he started using it because it'll be easier to play certain songs and he'll be able to play lower notes without switching tunings,

 

[affinityband]

wtf theres only 4 machineheads?

 

[entanglement]

Lasse Hoile has done some great work in the past!

Can't go wrong with Hoile imo. Time will tell.

 

[Nailed Reaper]

wtf theres only 4 machineheads?

Fifth is placed lower. Just take a look at picture in the top.

 

[HoursOfDebt]

Fifth is placed lower. Just take a look at picture in the top.

yea that is a 5 string. no doubt.

 

[HoursOfDebt]

edit: do you think thats where they took the pic for the cover? in that castle?
