The New album is called Watershed : Out June 2nd

[RollMyCoaster13]

I can say that the GR SE contains a CD including the bonus tracks, which you can play in your "regular cd player" and additionally a DVD with the 5.1 mix & documentation, which you can only play if you've got a DVD player / DVD drive and 5.1 speaker system. I guess it will be the same with a possible upcoming Watershed SE

great thanks a lot. i'll be buying the special edition for sure

if I got it right, Mike said in that interview posted in this thread some pages ago that they're planning to release the special edition at the same time with the regular version and it would contain 3 bonus tracks and a 55-minute making of documentary and a 5.1 mix.

^Yeah, thats an awesome nugget of info that seems to have been ignored by everyone.

 

[Obtuse]

Which page is it on? ... :S

 

[Novak]

Couldn't find any posts about it, but according to the official website, Opeth will be playing in Lillehammer, Norway on August 16. Good news for us Norwegian fans!!

Which page is it on? ... :S

The first and second part of that interview is on page 26 in this thread.The infromation about the special edition is from the second part.

Lots of good info in this thread. Very excited about the new album, can't wait!

2008 is shapping up to be a very good year for Opeth. Good to see them getting more popular, they deserve it.

Amen to that

"their least metal album to date"

less metal than Damnation?

 

[Eternalnow]

Arrg!

I can't wait!

 

[Simskre]

Who can?

If the descriptions given of the songs on the previous page are accurate (the whole Jazz/Fusion references), then this is going to rock your socks! It was Opeth that helped me appreciate Jazz/Fusion like Pat Metheny, Jim Hall, Al Di Meola, Jean-Luc Ponty and the like, what with all those acoustic parts in their songs. Seeing them now expand their style to incorporate some of that is...well...insane (in a good way).

I'd be really interested to hear a bit of blastbeating. I read somewhere (can't remember where) that there would be. Since my favourite album of all time (Ikuinen Kaamos - The Forlorn) is often compared to Opeth with more blastbeating, I REALLY look forward to the next 'peth release.

Damn it! Why June?? It's too far off, and with all the snow around here, there'll probably be a blizzard on the day of release.

Anyone get hint of artwork yet??

...there'll probably be a blizzard on the day of release.

Of course! The blizzard is the beast they will unleash

 

[SerenityNow!]

Too true. That's alright, I'll be there regardless of weather.

 

[intimidatingcrustaceans]

sorry if this has been asked/answered already, but is the track "derelict herds" going to show up as the exclusive åkerfeldt/wiberg composition on the roundhouse dvd menu?

 

[spigot]

Brutiful!!!!

 

[DarkGift]

Ok, don't really want to grow my e-penis here (ok, just a little! ), but I've just heard "Heir Apparent" from start to finish... Seriously, I sat listening to it with THIS big a smile
This is easily the most brutal Opeth has ever created, it has blastbeats, heavy-as-fuck guitars, Mikes vocals fucking crush... and lastly if ANYONE still has doubts about Axe... I will kill him. Ok, not really, but he will lose 2500 internets. Or something.

Oh, and Fredrik is a really nice guy

Melloboat, here I come!

 

[Blind Guardian]

How were you able to get to hear THAT? *jealous*
