Steven Wilson/Mike Akerfeldt side project??

[Fervisson]

I heard someone mention something like this, and I was wondering if it was true. I know he produced Blackwater Park, and is working alot on Damnation, but there's an actual side project in the works?

In a very recent iterview, Mike said something along the lines of "Hell yeah!" to a question of if he ever thought about doing a project like that. I don't think anything's actually going on now, but I'd say it's a good possibility.

Opeth Tree.


What a great project that would be...

 

[Elysian Blaze]

Porcupeth.

Whatever it'll be called, it's destined to be the best music imaginable.

could there BE a better band???

no there couldnt.

 

[Fervisson]

Awesome. It can't be just them though. Do you think there's a possibility of a Katatonia member joining in too?

If they call in extra help it'll probably be just a session musician, or a member/members of porcupine tree or opeth.

Isn't the mellow Opeth album a Wilson/Akerfelt sideproject as it is?

Not really. The writing was all done by Mike.

I was thinking the same thing. But an entire album of Bleak & Blackest Eyes-type stuff would be to die for.

Porcupeth....


I LOVE it!!

 

[IanDork107]

I have a feeling they could record eachother taking shits and we'd all call it the most genius record ever.

 

[Opethfan1980]

Ian, I call music genious because that's how I feel about it, not because of who made it.

Maybe I'm overly romantic, but I kind of hoped must underground metal fans were this way, too.

 

[IanDork107]

I agree, but not everyone is like that. When musicians have a track record of genius, like both Wilson and Akerfeldt, people tend to be biased. Although they never would do such a thing as what I mentioned before, if they did, I have a feeling I (and many others) would buy it, even knowing what was in store....

 

[Opethfan1980]

I'm surprised they didn't have tracks like that on those ridiculous Beatles anthologies they put out a few years ago...

 

[IanDork107]

LOL...people would have felt special just to be able to hear their idols on the crapper.

I'd by ANY cd with people shitting, be it britney spears, korn or opeth.
