Wrong information strikes again.
The album is only bit over 54 minutes long and only one song is over 10 minutes. Coil is the shortest one and it's not 7 minutes, it's 3:07 long. We talked about these earlier but this right information hasn't reached M-A yet.

This album is Opeth's American Idiot only in reverse.

 

[SerenityNow!]

^huh?

 

[Blind Guardian]

But I believe (just from hearing 'Heir Apparent') that this will be the most extreme, brutal Opethalbum ever

The guitars and drums must be EXTREMELY brutal if what you´re saying is true,if it´s the most brutal Opeth album despite Martins sell out-50-cent bass ,the other guys must be fucking brutal!

 

[Vamos]

Maybe some of the Bloodbath vibe will carry over to Opeth?

 

[Victorialand]

^ No, if anything the other way around. Expecting Watershed to be Opeth's 'most extreme, brutal Opeth album ever' is setting yourself up for disappointment. It, like every album before it, is a complex tapestry, with one song being more straightforward death metal.

 

[DarkGift]

^Yes of course, I have only heard one song, and I don't really think that every song will be "br00tal" but I really think just that song makes this the most brutal Opeth album to date. This is of course in IMO-mode

 

[Ruun]

holy shit what does the "^" mean everytime?
you guys are kinda sick? x)

 

[Scourge of Malice]

now THIS is opeth

 

[Victorialand]

^ means I'm referring to the post above mine.

 

[Ruun]

so thanks for the explanation

 

[Eternalnow]

YAARRG! I can't wait! I NEED IT NOW!

 

[Sinten]

RAAAAAAAA WATERSHED

Swedish Genius?

 

[Hammurabb]

Has anyone read the newest issue of Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles ?
It's supposed to have an in-depth Watershed studio report. Just wondering if it had something we didn't already know.

 

[Godhead59]

I just hope bassplayer's short hair isn't very loud in the mix.

I actually laughed out loud.

 

[in limbow]

I'm kind of out of the loop as to Opeth/new album news-- so is what everyone's talking about that live video of Heir Apparant? No audio yet? Just wondering, thanks

 

[BurningSky]

Yes, that's what everyone is talking about. If by "no audio" you mean 'no leaks', or high quality MP3 stuff, then yes, we are still waiting.

Has anyone heard anything about a VINYL release of the new album? Mike was referring to LP's in another thread and it got me thinking.

Roadrunner uses to make vinyl releases, so it wouldn't be rare.
