PETER LINDGREN LEFT OPETH

After 16 years, Peter Lindgren has left Opeth, and he is currently working on his first solo album, which is expected in 2008. The Swedes replaced him with former Arch Enemy/ Talisman, Fredik Akesson.

it would be great if it is true but personally I think it is bullshit.

 

[Jon Snow]

No, it's true. Go to www.opeth.com plus check all of the other threads on here about Peter leaving. I hope that clears up your confusion!

 

[omnio666]

i mean it is a bullshit that Peter is currently working on his first solo album.

 

[Albatros]

but this is news...

and he is currently working on his first solo album, which is expected in 2008.

 

[Jon Snow]

Idk, check wikipedia.

 

[FullMetalCornflake]

If it's true, then I can't wait!!

 

[metalhead416]

a solo album...wow.....u know ill buy it....heck if its out there.....im gwttin it...PEAC EOUT

 

[DEMIgOD]

maybe mike and the guys can help on his solo record. Since they are good friends. And it will pretty much be Opeth with out the name. great idea.

 

[FUBAR]

I knew it! The Peter Lindgren Project!

 

[biggsy]

maybe he can have lopez as a session drummer... give him something to do lol.

 

[Mr Samsara]

Until I hear otherwise... I'm calling bullshit on the solo album.

opeth without the name? what makes u think this so-called solo project will sound anything like opeth?

 

[Silvanus]

i doubt it would have mikeal in it or be very opeth like at all, i would think if this is true its because he left because of that "lost spark" in opeth, and he is trying to bring it back in his own works

 

[nadavnaz]

You need to hear this from better sources to know it's true

 

[batmura]

Unless I hear it from official sources, i.e. Peter himself, I call bullshit on this one.

If it's true though, I don't think it'll sound like Opeth at all. I'm guessing it could be a pretty acoustic-based record with the occasional electric leads and clean (if any at all) vocals.

 

[Arasmas]

a solo album? tat would be gret!

 

[BoF]

a solo album would be great...i doubt it though...

 

[ufomagnet]

He's working as an IT-consultant now, did you know that?
And if he releases a solo album I doubt it will be anywhere close to Opeths sound. He likes Ladytron for crissakes

 

[DEMIgOD]

where did you hear hes working as an IT consultant now. iv read that hes well educated and could make alot of money not in opeth (atleast mike said so!)
