Preview of the new Porcupine Tree

[OpethPat]

Get on over to porcupinetree.com to hear a preview of the upcoming CD. It's not great quality though. The track does deliver on the promises to be more experimental than the last two discs, and to be heavier. FYI, Steven Wilson from PT was the producer of Opeth's Blackwater Park and he's also working on the new double album.

Cool! They borrow an Opeth riff. That little interlude towards the end of the song before the last repeat of the chorus is the same chord progression as the last riff in The Leper Affinity.

Yeah, sounds good to me. I like the progression this song has. And the Opeth influence is just great.

 

[ricochet]

This sounds excellent...you can definitely tell that it has some Opeth influence. I'll be sure to check out the new album when it comes out. I'd also like to see them on their summer tour, but it looks like the closest they'll come to me is Baltimore, MD...that's about 8 hours away from me.

 

[bang]

aaah this is great, i cant wait

 

[NFU]

It has an opeth influence? haha....try opeth has a porcupine tree influence.

Indeed. I was merely saying that particular song is heavier than usual PT.

 

[changso]

Amazing...can't wait for this release!

Steve picked up a little Opeth influence after hearing Still Life and producing BWP. And Opeth got a little PT influence. I bet if you let them be near each other for long enough, you'll just have two identical bands, and then they'll fight for the spot.

That's true as well, but if you are saying that particular song hasn't any Opeth influence, you must be... unable to hear Opeth influences.

 

[CAIRATH]

Fantastic. I can't wait for the complete album.

 

[Demonspell]

They're playing in New York later this month...gotta see them.

[Kushantaiidan]

OMG.. I can't wait.

I just got into Porcupine Tree a few months ago, and simply downloaded EVERYTHING. And now I shall be saving money for this album. GLEE!!!

 

[Kushantaiidan]

OMG> ABsolutely blown away.. AND WHAT ABOUT THE ARTWORK???!!! Is that Travis Smith?

 

[Kushantaiidan]

What an epic masterpeice. This is going to be the Best Porc Album yet..

God, bands like this make me love music.

 

[OneFootBlaster]

sounds amazing! Theyre in LA at the House Of Blues August 1st! Yeehaa!! Cant wait! I'll be there fo' sho'

 

[Demonspell]

Excellent song, successfully integrates both the experimental (who here has picked up Stars Die, it's awesome...) and melodic phases of the band, with a metallic section reminding me of Russia On Ice. Is that image that appears in the animation going to be the album cover?

 

[Dvoters]

Ive heard so much about this band, I must get some albums. What recommendations would you guys give for past releases??

 

[Alucard]

I'm listening to the song now for the first time and it fucking rules. I've got my tickets for the New York show, it's gonna be awesome. Now if Opeth could just get back over here...

BTW, I'd recommend Lightbulb Sun for a newbie(which I was not to long ago).
