The New album is called Watershed : Out June 2nd

[Obtuse]

Okay, maybe what I should've written was that the songs look sweet. The titles are pretty cool.

I hope they recorded it using a real mellotron and real organs...

Mike actually told they went into a local church to record a real organ for the new album and sad Per wrecked it, when playing a ultra doomy evil sounding riff...

 

[RollMyCoaster13]

but travis smith did the artwork...wtf?

 

[narcoleptic haze]

^ i think they did some sort of competition for GR too didn't they? It was the line drawing of the band members in the standard edition.

 

[RollMyCoaster13]

ooh ok, so not the cover artwork. gotcha

 

[cheechonaleash]

I believe this one was the victor from the GR competition.

 

[Pethical]

correct. the comp should already be over though. most of the entries in the watershed artwork revealed...(or not) thread would do just fine

 

[Maggai]

It wasn't a serious competition I think. It was more like "just for fun" thing. And Mike chooses the one that could be the best one of those.

My friend drew a guy having a piss and I wrote "WATERSHED (HOLOCAUST ON THE MOON) FEATURING BASS PLAYER". But the girl on the stand just threw it in the trash can.

Mikael would've liked that one!

New album sounds awesome...

Should bring in a whole new breed of Opeth fans, if that is a good thing.

"Watershed" is also the name of the new K.D. Lang album...

f*** K.D. Lang

 

[i aint play this]

K.D Lang's face is identical to an inverted anus, and her music fucking stinks.

Also she is a lesbian, not of the attractive kind

I thought it was a guy until you said this

 

[opeth_353]

..KD lang isn't* a guy?

 

[flu boy]

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

BLASTBEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kendoji]

lol yep I'm excited about that too

 

[Abhorsen]

"begin the day with a friendly blast beat, companion unobtrusive..."

Plays the song that's so elusive
Mikaels magic music makes your morning wood...
