Woah, check out the new update...

It was a figure of speech.

I do see a lot of black metal in My Arms, Your Hearse, though. The really fast strumming at the beginning of April Ethereal. The drumming, too.

 

[dorian gray]

what the hell?

 

[dorian gray]

can it get any nerdier in here?

 

[KennonKun]

Yeah, people can start double posting. Oh, wait...

 

[dorian gray]

heh.

 

[dorian gray]

good one.

 

[Risquit]

Something like this.

 

[kno talint]

lol wow... i dont like the whole black metal idea, i dont think theyve ever even said anything like that. its a rumor gone crazy. however, i WOULD love to hear opeth doing some crazy blast beats just for the hell of it.

 

[kno talint]

and yes...double posting is pretty fucking nerdy

Why does everyone start speculating about an album 1 yr before it's even remotely slated to be released?

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

Because Mikael gave hints to what the album will be like and people just happen to be the curious sort?

 

[Leper_/-\ffinity]

Exactly, maybe we speculate because the SONGWRITER gave an idea of what he is looking at doing for the upcoming album.......why the fuck else??? Its not like we just started this black metal shit all on our own.....

EDIT: If not for that part in the documentary, I would imagine they would do another prog album like Damnation.

 

[ChrisEmerson]

nah they said thats a one off.

Why does everyone start speculating about an album 1 yr before it's even remotely slated to be released?

What makes you assume its release date will not be disclosed for at least a year? We're just curious... That's practically the point of these boards. Sheesh, do you want the place to go dormant until YOU find something worth talking about?

 

[MightyA]

Sometimes I suspect that you're all fake accounts of former Opeth forumers.

 

[JoeVice]

lets save this debate for at least 4 months before the album comes out....

 

[Bacchante]

Sweet angry Jesus! I've always wanted to do something like this

Does anyone know if they want a group shot or separate drawings of each member??

 

[ChrisEmerson]

they said like the rainbow one so i guess a group shot. but if you do individual ones they can always be combined.
