does anybody care about the new opeth?

[rhino]

[jawn galliano]

nope

[droidspawn]

I do. cover art made me do a double take as that's not the usual for them. but the more I looked at it (minus the heads on the tree) the more neat I think it is. Makes me think the new one will be more like damnation which I'm ok with. That is my second favorite opeth so my interest is definitely peaked.

[Tea]

I think that's extremely cool artwork.

[rhino]

its....interesting for sure

[droidspawn]

emerald city in the background!? on fire no less.

[Tea]

Wait, I didn't notice the band member's head in the tree. That kinda ruins it. In fact I think it kinda sucks now. I CANT UNNOTICE IT.

[Meat Engine]

No-peth.

[Tyreese BIGGUMS]

cover art is an awesome parody of old prog rock covers



really have high hopes for this, I hope they just ditch the death metal parts and make an all out psyche/prog rock record. I mean, I'll take the metal parts, as long as they fit in right (ie not how watershed was, completely fucking disjointed)

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

Absolutely not

[agony bagony]

not at the moment but at some time in the future i might care about it

[vO)))id]

i certainly do! i loved watershed, it was a great comeback after ghost reveries.

my fave is still morningrise... that's just such a brilliant album.

this album art is very cool! don't really like the heads in the tree but it's very '70s

[Abzu]

What's his name was nifty in that Ihsahn song that time.

I loved watershed too. One thing that pisses me off is that they have no problem in the last ten+ years doing a completely light song, but never do a completely heavy song. Kinda gay.



Mark axenrot will be playing drums, whats not to like?

Opeth in general

[vO)))id]

Yeah I really hope they're going to try a new direction with this one...

not trying something totally off-Opeth, but perhaps a different approach production wise, maybe some new guitar sounds or overal different sound while still keeping the Opeth vibe. That's something I really want to see them doing this far into their career.

[^_____________^]

This is by far the worst Swedish "death metal" [can't really call it that] band of all time.

[Hugo.]

OH NO ITS NOT...

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

I'm sure there are worse but they still rank near the bottom

[Hugo.]

You would know

[^_____________^]

This band really is terrible. They can't decide if they want to sound like Pink Floyd or Dream Theater with a cookie monster for a vocalist.

[Mesarthim]

I used to like this band a lot but kind of grew out of them a couple of years ago. the Ghost Reveries was the last album I listened to by them.

I think I heard part of the one after that and it just sounded exactly the same and stale.

I still think their first few albums up to blackwater park are really good though I haven't listened to them in ages.

pretty much the same here. i was into them pretty hard for a few years and own all of their stuff, up to ghost reveries anyway

[Holocaust]

Orchid, Morningrise >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this

[Hallucinating dead]

I like selective opeth tracks track, which i find very good

[M.Bison]

I thought it was awesome up until I noticed the headfruit, now I can't help laughing at it.



I enjoy My Arms to Damnation, couldn't get into the older stuff, never got on with Ghost Reveries, sounded stale and forced. Haven't heard anything else.
