06.09.11 | “We don’t care what others think,” Åkerfeldt said, “and if the fan’s don’t enjoy it, that’s their problem.” The frontman also said that he’s been tired of “extreme metal” since the 90s, but could not explain why.
...wow. I'm speechless. |

06.09.11 | I'm starting to think they're just fucking with the fans with all the album details and shit. |

06.09.11 | o lord |
Satellite
06.09.11 | the mods wouldn't accept that as news anyway |
botb
06.09.11 | im gonna try and remain optimistic as the last album they made without harsh vocals was incredible and 70s prog rock rules |
pedroia55
06.09.11 | If that's the case, opeth will be so much better |
Athom
06.09.11 | i like his cleans. and i like 70s prog. im still stoked on it. |
Hocmat
06.09.11 | But I like death growls with 70's prog influence.
Gonna rule nonetheless |

06.09.11 | fukin faggots
we saw this coming you swedish bastards |

06.09.11 | + with all these like ludicrous releases about this album (album art, song titles, now this) i'm beginning to think Akerfeldt is getting his troll on |
hotshotvegetarian
06.09.11 | On the one hand, I'm kind of excited; damnation was fantastic, and I'd love to see what Akerfeldt can do without the restraints of death metal. I know he's been talking about making this kind of music for a while, and I'm sure it'll be fantastic. Plus it will be a lot easier to show friends how multi-talented this band is.
On the other hand - I really, really hope he won't completely abandon death growls in the future. |

mast3rshake16
06.09.11 | sooo this is basically going to be like a heavy version of damnation.. or an album made entirely of the best parts from bwp? This could be really good |
BassDemon333
06.09.11 | Fuck I hope this isnt bad...I loved Damnation though, hopefully this will be something like that then. |

AngelofDeath
06.09.11 | I'm really skeptical about the validity of all this. Mike has said for years that Opeth is first and foremost a metal band and has always shown his love and support of extreme metal. For him to say he's been "tired" of death metal for quite some time, I just don't buy it. |

06.09.11 | Uh, what do the numbers mean? |

06.09.11 | They are ratings of how gay you are |

06.09.11 | I have 2 penises instead of one.
That is more news worthy/ |
Satellite
06.09.11 | that is admittedly pretty goddamn newsworthy |
Eulogize
06.09.11 | This is fucking bullshit. I'm so upset. |
Josh D.
06.09.11 | Oh well.
Also lol at the username of lister, not because it is funny though. |
RaiseHail
06.09.11 | Not that disappointed, looking forward to it. |
bloc
06.09.11 | 70s prog should be no surprise given the album cover |
iFghtffyrdmns
06.09.11 | okay. |
FearThyEvil
06.09.11 | Oh well but honestly I love the death growls. Something tells me this is fake though. |
demigod!
06.09.11 | i'm really looking forward to this album seeing as how Damnation was the only Opeth album i could really get into |
ScrotieMcBoogerballs
06.09.11 | Opeth needs moar br00tle breakdowns like The Faceless |
OneMoreRoland
06.09.11 | Kinda disappointed. But i have a feeling it'll be really good |
pedroia55
06.09.11 | You people are dumb this is gonna be soooooo much better without the rahrwjrahrws |
ScrotieMcBoogerballs
06.09.11 | needs more br00tality |
Eulogize
06.09.11 | Agreed with the alt. |
psykonaut
06.09.11 | i can dig it. i like the usual mix of harsh and clean vocals but damnation was ace. we'll see. |
killrobotmusic
06.09.11 | have never listened to opeth but the new album sounds like it could be pretty rad |
North0House2
06.09.11 | " PRETTY RAD" |

06.09.11 | I probably will not like this. I never listen to Damnation. |

EyesWideShut
06.09.11 | I dont think the new record will sound anything like Damnation, in the sense of all "dark and gloomy" be on the look out for psychedelic King Crimson style prog mixed with some Cream and Beatles.
The Headz Rule bruh.. |
Acanthus
06.09.11 | If this is true it changes nothing, "The Leper Affinity" is all I ever needed from the band. |
Willie
06.09.11 | Good. The last album was boring even with death metal. |
eggsvonsatan
06.09.11 | Last album may have been boring, but the first 2 tracks were killer. |
qwe3
06.09.11 | this will be so bad. remember how boring damnation was? it'll be like that but with 70s prog influenced melodeath riffs
so basically the gayest thing ever |
Hjertify
06.09.11 | hasnt opeth been boring since BWP ??? |
joelco92
06.09.11 | not surprised to hear this, seems like they've been drifting away from that especially in their last album. Not bad news for me I've always liked the cleaner part of Opeth better |
