"It's a jam I came up with during the MASTODON/GHOST tour, [...] But basically it's a not-so-subtle headbanging-type nod in GOBLIN's direction. And to avoid confusion, the song is even called 'Goblin'. My rip-off deteriorates mid-song and becomes fusion-esque darkened prog rock like MAHAVISHNU or ELP (yikes!). But it swings! It really does."



"Maybe a little bit heavier (than Heritage). Not death metal heavy, but hard rock/heavy metal heavy. There's also lots of progressive elements and acoustic guitars, but also more sinister-sounding riffs."



"recording the STORM CORROSION LP with Steven Wilson made me realize what a massive difference it can mean to incorporate the real shit."



"There's a lot going on, lots of string arrangements that we haven't had in the past."



I'm kind of excited. Sounds like it's going to be a more expansive Heritage. I hope that "interest in strings" means we'll hear some folk tracks that sound like a Comus/Storm Corrosion blend. Although I wouldn't mind hearing a "Pyre" part 2. It seems like the heavier stuff is going to be along the lines of "Devil's Orchard" or "Derelict Herds"/"Porcelain Heart" (minus growls), which still sounds cool. I'm hoping we get more mellow tracks like "Haxprocess" though, that was like the best song of Heritage.

Thanks Sgt. It will be exciting to hear the next Opeth.



Especially the sinister-sounding riffs.

Hillage rules but you should check out Tull first seeing as they're more essential (and the best band ever). I'd recommend either Aqualung or Minstrel in the Gallery as a starting point.
