Will AKERFELDT help write music on the next album?

hah, yeah Harvest is as death metal as it gets. Any more brutal and it would start skullfucking virgins in the ass. The fact that that isn't possible underlines its brutality
 
Plus uno.

Mike has written some killer DM riffs/parts to Opeth which would not be out of place for Bloodbath, but he's so damn focused on Opeth now that I don't see him contributing much at all for Bloodbath's song writing.
But it would be fun to hear a song or two from his pen/axe...or from Dan as someone else mentioned. [sensitive/serious readers stop reading here] And why not other guest contributors, why not make a whole guest Bloodbath album? Like Dave Grohl's Probot, where he emulated many different bands, but this would be the opposite, many different songwriters emulate Bloodbath? It'd be like a cover-but-not-really album! :zombie: :Smokin: o_O [opting out]


Hmmm could be interesting, but I'd rather have them adding riffs not whole songs. But that's hard, there's no money to do something like that, I see it possible if those artists wrote for fun without expecting some kind of profit and that's it..
 
I've never heard a Death Metal riff in Opeth tbh.

Now you're overdoing this a little bit. They are quite few and far between, but they have plenty of riffs that are definately death metal, tho not downtuned. Most evident pick would be Masters Apprentice opening. Its so death metal its almost a parody. A damn good one tho.

And on the original topic: I doubt it will happen. Mike is like a session-member in bloodbath, something he himself has been clear about in interviews. He goes into the studio, growls for two days, maybe helping out with some on-the-spot lyrics, then done. After that a couple of one-off gigs (if he can take time from being home with his family while not opethtouring) might pop up.
