I just listened to Robin Trower's Bridge of Sighs album, not bad at all. I never thought to listen to his solo stuff, my dad was a massive Procol Harum fan back in the day.

PH is incredibly great. whiter shade of pale is one of my favorite songs

 

[Anaon]

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

:hotjump:

Female voice could add a nice feel...

Edit: Sorry, it seems I missed a lot of pages

I don't know if it's been brought up yet, but Steve Wilson on Lamentations described Deliverance and Damnation as a "Watershed" in the Opeth trajectory. Not sure if that's where they got the name for the new album though.

Interesting stuff!

 

[Njorgo]

Espero que se edite en Argentina.

 

[opeth_353]

[Njorgo]

Que quiero que el disco se edite en Argentina, así lo puedo comprar. Importado acá es más caro, máquina.

-1 for failure to understand.

+2 for being a Crysis player.

So you came out ahead anyway.

 

[Puritanic]

there is a group that waits for the album

The group is edited and set up today.We don't want all the opeth funs in here.Wait wait we just want the Opeth funs that can't stand still and get mad about the news that are about "Watershed".
That means all the members will be informed about the hot news.
What is more that you all will get the samples or the full songs from Watershed before it's released-i hope-

sorry i have to admit that im not a facebook fool.but just for opeth i did it.argggh

 

[v2kv]

Yeah so, even though Mike actually writes on this forum, you'll get the news first on Facebook...hokay then

 

[Maggai]

Hmm that riff he starts playing at 3:06 sounds pretty similar to the riff Metallica plays on the ghost track on Garage Inc. Disc 1. (The last track on that CD is the cover of The More I See by Discharge). I wonder if Metallica ever listened to this stuff.

Pretty cool video by the way.

Metallica are indeed jamming on the song at the end there.

 

[Black Session]

seems to me that facebook group is there mainly to provide leaked songs when they come along ... so basically you are advertising leaking the album on here. ridiculous.

don't see how you could join "for opeth" then ...

 

[DarkGift]

Thank you

Here is some info from the promo:

The as yet untitled album from Sweden's Opeth is a stunning piece of music that reaches deep into rock's history to create a sound that few can approach, let alone master. Helmed by guitarist/vocalist and music afficianado Mikael Åkerfeldt, Opeth can be described as a "genre of one". They're a band who's sound touches upon classic rock, modern metal, progressive rock, krautrock freakouts ands bits of European folk. And that's an oversimplification. Here's a track-by-track "cheat-sheet" to a record that you will undoubtly play many times, that will haunt you and will likely not be forgotten. I've said it many times. If you don't like Opeth, you don't like rock music.

1: (3:07) Zeppelin - Mostly acoustic driven with female vocals complementing Mike. These were done by Swedish vocalist Nathalie Lorichs. Completely different than anything Opeth have ever done before. A gorgeous moment that sets the tone for the record. You will listen to this track over and over again. Let's just call it a "panty-soaker"....

2. (8:51) Metal - Brutal. Lots of musical twists and turns. Many quiet moments that verge on free jazz. Here we also get the first taste of both new guitarist Fredrik Akesson who shows lead chops at the three minute mark. There's also no question about Axenrot's abilities to handle the rhythmic demands of Opeth with the adroitness of his predecessor. This is the only song that has full-on heavy vocals all throughout, harkening back to the Opeth of old.

Hahaha, "panty soaker." Yes!
