The New album is called Watershed : Out June 2nd

[PIGIRON]

They would sound sweet with a blast part over a heavy riff.Even a lasting thrash beat.They do some fast stuff, but nothing like Slayer or even Morbid Angel in the fast department.I guess that's what keeps them interesting eh?The only thing "fast" about Opeth is the double bass parts.Which is just fine in my novel."AprilEtheral" is the shit and ""wREATH" is killer also!

 

[Crackfare]

is there? dont ask us. we are human beings, just liek you and me, and we are waiting till everything is revealed to us mere mortals so anyone could give you an answer.

on the other hand, ask Mike, the jesus of metal

 

[PIGIRON]

And God has landed on earth!

 

[Holocaust on the Moon]

I thought one song is supposed to have blast beats over clean vocals, but I can't remember which song it is.

 

[Kirkfjell]

The Lotus Eater.

 

[Nailed Reaper]

Yes, Roadrunner's press-release said that "The Lotus Eater" will feature clean vocal singing over the blast-beats.

But, fuck, doest it needed to start new topic? Why not to ask that little question in "Watershed"'s thread?

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I thought one song is supposed to have blast beats over clean vocals, but I can't remember which song it is.

Oh fuck yes.

 

[Frosties]

It has blast beats? Then it is tr00 enough. I shall buy it!

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

It's nice to have blasting for a change though I hope it's not going to be permanently part of Opeth's sound.

 

[King Richard]

It has blast beats? Then it is tr00 enough. I shall buy it!

Only if they are played @ 666 bpm during the entire album. Otherwise it's probably shit.

 

[Walls1441]

Wintersun.

 

[chrisdoig24k]

Blastbeats, if done well, can be the most pr0 things evarrr...

 

[Albatros]

The new album's gonna have fresh new ideas but also an "opeth old school" feeling! thats my guess from the material we have so far. Its gonna be the best opeth album ever!
