The New album is called Watershed : Out June 2nd

[di ablopeth]

this sounds legit...but apparently the second track off the new album is called "Heir Apparent"...http://runningthevoodoodown.blogspot.com/2008/02/new-opeth-album-update.html

 

[Sky Coyote]

Female vocals? Awesome.

 

[ever dying]

Hmm.. Sounds pretty damn awesome if it were true..
Let's hope Opeth.com will update soon and tell us some more about the album ^^;

 

[IamReptar]

I declare fake.

 

[Awake_In_Animosity]

Hmmm...

 

[Simskre]

I declare fake.

I'm with you on that...

 

[Brave.Archangel]

i hope its fake

 

[Black Session]

there has been a preview for journalists ... so it could be true. anyway, there will be reviews in the magazines next month already based on that preview, so it is pretty strange that people have to wait 4 more months before you can buy the album ...

 

[Kalabalik]

I declare fake.

Please explain why?

 

[Slynt]

Female vocals? Well that's definitely a new one for Opeth. Hard to know at this point but "Heir Apparent" could definitely be an Opeth track-title. If I had heard it, I'd tell more about the guitar sound ,other track titles etc. though so maybe this dude has heard just this one track and the rest is made up shit

Doubt there will be reviews next month...maybe, hopefully...

 

[Black Session]

there will definitely by lots of several page interviews and since the journalists have heard the album, don't see why they wouldn't review it ... maybe not yet in the review section then, since the title and artwork aren't yet revealed. oh well, we'll see ...

the text is somewhat strange in that he states first that it's the least metal album yet, but he states several times that it has the hardest riffs and trashiest sounding parts so far ...

 

[Ruun]

he wrote that its the most prog and least metal album ... that doesnt mean that it couldnt be heavy.

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

Hard to say. Probably true though.

 

[DEMIgOD]

i read another discription of the new album.. i think on this very forum. and i read about the female vox to. so this guy might be unto something..

 

[Hammurabb]

if that's fake, someone has some serious skill in writing shit.As a title "Heir apparent" sounds so obscure that it could actually be a name of a new Opeth tune.

 

[Black Session]

Mike has developed a new singing style and can reach new hights, which many mistake for female vox (like on the iron maiden cover "remember tomorrow"). Opeth apparently wants to introduce this new kind of singing into death metal or something ...

 

[ever dying]

We'll see.. Now stop speculating.. It makes me want that album

However, female vox could be fun.. ^^;

 

[beast from the east]

Fake or not...

" his playing throughout - is just a giant "fuck you" to anyone who might bitch about Martin Lopez's absence"

...this was just priceless!!!

 

[soundave]

I'm not sure what to think.... I'd be surprised by female vox. And the way Mike has been talking about the album, I would have thought he'd have mentioned it, you know?
