[HoursOfDebt]

well i see someboday already beat me to the punch. i hate living on the west coast, we get our news last.

anyhow... FUCKING AWESOME NEWS!

bridge of sighs will own.

 

[Risquit]

Cover songs=at least two issues of the new album. Oh well, I will get both.

 

[Kenneth R.]

This sounds glorious

 

[MixGrafix]

The weight of the world is on my shoulders, and I don't think I will ever be coming home. Glorious News

 

[Hybrid_Child]

Great news. I don't think I have ever waited so eagerly for an album as this one. All this talk about surprises and change of course makes me so unbearebly excited.

Btw... While in the studio Opeth also recorded 3 cover songs right? Does anyone know wich ones they are?

Edit: Ok just read it on the website.

 

[Words of Credence]

Wow. Overanalizing information we have so far has already started LOL. Nothing, absoulutely nothing wrong with that though

I'm excited like a little girl. Going through all those pesky exams will be much easier knowing that after that I'll be on an opeth binge from then on 'till eternity.

 

[the opeth affinity]

one review i read had nothing but praise for Axe's drumming so im looking forward to hearing his blast beats.

 

[Amonoperth]

Fantastical news....and a female vocal .....thsi si a frist....i cant wait for the record man....its gonna slay all false metal.....and many of u would say...rape a nuns anus...!!!!....go opeth....PEAC EOUT

 

[worldwide_suicide]

HOLY FUCK!!!

i need to get my hands on that Would? cover RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DEMIgOD]

yeah victorland MUST give us a semi indepth review haha! if he wants anyways!

track times, how much growling is on the record, how much clean singing, ect.

reminds me of the one person that heard the new mars volta on their forum, he was slammed with questions!

 

[MixGrafix]

Here come all the fake Limewire Watershed postings

 

[Jon Snow]

I'm more excited for the bridge of sighs cover. Robin Trower crushes.

 

[Jon Snow]

yea, everyone do yourselves a favor and check out the entire Bridge of Sighs album.

 

[wankerness]

I like Mikael's vocals, but I can't possibly imagine he'll do "Would?" justice. His voice is way too clean and I can't see him belting out some of the lines with anywhere near the impact on the original, especially the chorus and the outro. He's just never done any vocals in a remotely similar style to Staley's saw-edged wailing. His voice fits fine on the verse, but not otherwise. Maybe I'll be surprised.

 

[DEMIgOD]

mike's said that per has a good RAWK voice. so maybe he sings some of it

 

[DEMIgOD]

Robin Trower cover is going to be great.

I didnt expect the alice in chains cover ever!

maybe it will be the song that gets them noticed outside of the metal community

 

[bens0n]

they posted it off rr.com.au

it took a while before they put it up on the .com

 

[opeth8]

Would is an interesting choice from AIC's great catalog. Not my fav of theirs, but sprinkle in a dash of Opeth & who knows ??

Can't wait to hear the new material & see the many tours that will follow !
