The New album is called Watershed : Out June 2nd

[Mr Samsara]

when Mikael was still writing stuff for the album, some guy on this forum begged to put blastbeats on the album and asked what Mikael thought of them. Mikael responded that he actually likes them ... unconscious influence during writing?? hehe

no.

i want mike to use his fender stratocaster and power on the fuzz pedal... I wish they stop sound so aseptised and mathematical. ( PT annoy me because of that, as Opeth since Blackwater Park). I would like they blow my mind with things they never did before and stop using similar riffs & structures. I hope they recorded it using a real mellotron and real organs...

 

[DarkGift]

Thordendaal is god

Heresy!

 

[Black Session]

Quick question, Victoria.
Is Watershed "heavier" than GR?

It's funny, because in one way we know what to expect,
because it's Opeth. But at the same time we don't know
what to expect because it's Opeth!

not knowing what to expect is actually one the main things that makes us love Opeth ...

no.

I didn't mean that seriously ... pretty obvious I thought.

5. Porcelain Heart (8:01) Tool/Sabbath/Tull - Heaviness merges with nearly medieval balladeering into lurching Sabbath riffs. The first two verses are repetitive and memorable - something that wouldn't feel out of place on a Tool record. Then the Sabbath riffs come along rolling in like a friggin' tsunami of doom.


These descriptions are from a finnish metal forum. Maybe the guy will soon type the rest too.

I wander how that "medieval balladeering" is going to sound.....is it not like the regural "Mike- with- acoustic- thingy" ?
Maybe it's all about using fancy words to make people want the record more (and its working !!)

It really is.
Can't wait to see/hear what's next!

No. Opeth just announced that they're covering Cannibal Corpse's ' Raped By The Beast ' for the Deluxe Edition, and Dakota Fanning does some squeals in it.


uke:





Seriously, her parents should have never done that movie, not even considered it. Such an easy target, even though it was never released.

I wonder how much they use acoustic guitars on Watershed.

 

[Azukay]

Fantastic, it comes out on my birthday!

 

[Obtuse]

I wonder when we'll see the rest of that promo...
Hessian Peel and Hex Omega sound pretty sweet.

I guess quite "Tullish", immediately thought of Jethro Tulls "Songs from The Wood"
