That stinks, but it is good to hear they're putting out a new album

Hmmm... I shouldn't really be surprised by Opeth lineup changes.  I'm wondering if they are going to have keys on this album or not. I guess there will be some since they are going to find a replacement after doing the album, unless that's just to fill out their sound on tour and to do some older material. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

Wilberg has already recorded his parts for the new album. ------------- Inexistence is the true normality. |

Did he? This sentence made it seem as if Watershed was his last: " We wish Per the best, and he did a splendid job recording keyboards for the last record, which stands as his final recording with Opeth" ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

Yeah I think it sounded ambiguous too. Personally I hope they won�t include a new keyboard player. I really enjoy the tasteful keyboards on the last two albums and it was the right decision at the time, but I think one of the things that made Opeth such a unique act on albums like "Still Life" and "Blackwater Park", is that the epic sound is produced without keyboards. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Can we have at least Lopez back now. I can't see how they will do the "announced" move to prog/fusion with only very-metal musicians like Axe and Fredrik left  "Announced" is between brackets as Mike can never be trusted with what he announces about his new albums. For example, he always announces each new album as really brutal and heavier then ever, but each time it's less heavy and brutal. So maybe the new one will be close to Bloodbath given the promise for less metallic material |

Meh, Wiberg was a brilliant part of the Opeth sound on the last albums.  Guess things are gonna change again, and thankfully there hasn't really been a bad change yet. I like Axe, can't say much about Fredrik since I never know who's soloing. Thankfully he'll be there for the backup vox.------------- http://iamthreepeople.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow">  <- Click on this!

Indeed, very bad news. Now I'm even more worried about their new album As Karl has said, Mike is rather unreliable musician - in Lamentations documentary he's said something about black metal album by Opeth. Two years later GR came out. ------------- http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/ |
