The New album is called Watershed : Out June 2nd

[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]

ah k .. didnt see that in other forums.
so thanks for the explanation

 

[Eternalnow]

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

 

[Sinten]

RAAAAAAAA WATERSHED

 

[Eugenics]

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

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.

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.

 

[Holocaust on the Moon]

Steven Wilson already has Watershed.
http://www.swhq.co.uk/ look under his top albums of the month.

 

[Whisper and Weep]

Ahh lucky.. and its number one too
I guess Steven really likes it then

Yeah, I actually bought the mag the other day hoping that there
would be new and awesome info, but no such luck. Let's just say
the report still had the album as untitled. However, it did have a lot
of stuff on Maiden's upcoming tour, which was a good read.
