The Official Reveries news

[Kalabalik]

Goddammit, I already love the cover.

Indeed! The more I look at it, the more it kicks ass

 

[Wretched Pest]

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit !
I'm getting too excited !
MUST... HEAR... NOW !

 

[Alcapoth]

If that IS Travis SMith - he is GOD!

Seriously, if that truly is going to be the cover, then it WILL be Opeth's best cover yet...by FAR!

The candles, why the hell didn't I think of it??? That's perfection!



And yes, I too think "Atonement" will definitely be a short instrumental along the lines of For Absent Friend's or Patterns.

Yeah, look on the site - cover by Travis Smith, booklet artwork by Anthony Sorrento (http://www.opeth.com/anthony.html).

Hot Damn im excited! RELEASE THE ALBUM ALREADY!

 

[Saber Rider]

Ghost of perdition - Eerie with lots of dynamics in volume
The baying of the hounds - Brutal, fast, long
Beneath the mire - Very heavy, midtempo, a more short song
Atonement - again not too long, maye in the vein of Benighted?
Reverie/Harlequin forest - very long, Reverie= psychedelic instrumental foreplay, Harlequin forest - folkish sounding
Hours of wealth - Maybe a heavy song without growling
The grand conjuration - Opeth as we know them
Isolation years - Damnation-like closing song

 

[Demoke]

amazing news! I can't wait. Track list sounds great... somehow it takes me back to the Still Life days; this will kick some major ass, seriously.

 

[Sadguru]

heh, the fake covers looks so ridiculously cheap compared to that one. A masterwork crafted by the hand of God himself.

 

[Kalabalik]

Yeah, the album cover and the tracklist breathe a "Still Life"-atmosphere, I think.

Agreed

 

[Mind of Winter]

Yeah, the album cover and the tracklist breathe a "Still Life"-atmosphere, I think.

But even darker.

 

[the_3_toed_sloth]

That cover makes me think Deliverance, merged with Still Life, with a touch of MAYH thrown in for good measure. Hahahahah and it makes the fake-covers look amazingly amateurish.

*clears a spot in my cd collection for the new album*

 

[Botfly]

I didn't have erectile disfunction, this news'd definitly be giving me a nice, stern woody.

 

[Profanity]

You'll be ramming your speaker next.

 

[Alcapoth]

yep, we have NOTHING on Travis Smith, period. not...even...close.

 

[Profanity]

What, you'll be ramming Travis Smith instead of your speaker?

 

[NFU]

that cover makes travis look like a child in finger painting class.

i love it. best opeth album cover yet.


(EDIT): unless travis actually did this cover...then i have a whole new respect for him.

 

[Md Player]

Yeah,Fuckin evil cover.Really good work and i liked it very much.For the songs, i want deadly to listen the album.

 

[BurningSky]

Trav DID do the cover. and it IS pretty friggin' sweet.

Out.

P.S.
Thanks to all for getting in the positive spirit for once and not looking for something to rip on about the cover or the number of songs or the titles or whatever.. It's like a refreshing breath of icy cold positivity blew new life into the board. It just made this good news so much better!

 

[Alcapoth]

Someone should put the logo and albumtitle on. I don't have any good paintprograms to do it myself.

Hmm... come to think of it: perhaps this is how its supposed to look like.
