Even on Opeth albums, Steven still sings.

I didnt like that Steven didnt work with the 'peth with GR:(

Growling? Singing? Whos doing what and how.

(Im interested now :))

I kind of doubt that there are going to be any growling, the three of them will create something progressive w/out growling.

Hmm...I love mikes growl


(2000!)

I'm especially excited to hear what this will be like. Does the project have a name yet? Or any official information?

His growl is brutal, I like the way it sounds in Bloodbath alot.

Congrats on 2000, 20 more for me and ill hit 2100:)\

[QUOTE]OPETH frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt has confirmed reports that he is planning on collaborating with PORCUPINE TREE's Steven Wilson and DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy on an as-yet-[B]un-named [/B]project.[/quote]

nope, nothing much yet.

Ive never heard porcupine tree, is steven wilson a singer?


( yea 2000 is nice, but im a year older than you in MX days, you win mx :))

[QUOTE=Hevy Tred]Ive never heard porcupine tree, is steven wilson a singer?[/QUOTE]
He's a composer for the most part. He does create some of the best vocal harmonies though and writes all the instrument parts and sings for Porcupine Tree.

thats 2 months older buddy haha.

Steven Wilson is a singer, yes. You can hear him singing on Bleak, Masters Apprentice, etc. Stuff from D/D and BWP.

[QUOTE]
I think me and Steven want to make it heavy, and I think Mikael wants to, uh, not be heavy. Because me and Steven want to do stuff that we can't do with PORCUPINE TREE and DREAM THEATER, and get to some really heavy stuff. And I think that Mikael wants to get away from the heavy stuff because he does that all the time with OPETH[/QUOTE]

That part was interesting

Porcupine tree being...Deathmetal? similar to opeth or DT?

(Well you can cut my posts in half, i used to be a pit beast, haha)

[QUOTE=Hevy Tred]Porcupine tree being...Deathmetal? similar to opeth or DT?[/QUOTE]
:lol:

No, it's not even heavy. It's just really good music.

no, Not Death Metal.

Ahh any recommended songs? Maybe worth the look if thier good.

I didn't know Steve Wilson sang in Master's Apprentice...

Hmm, I'll listen to it then and see. I always thought Akerfeldt sang all those clean parts :-/

Ah, the Ahhh part :p he sings with Akerfeldt then, heh.

Same here. This is odd...

Harmonizing with him, it works out great:)

I only know because I seen them recording that part on the Lamentations DVD.

That's probably what Portnoy is gonna do with Mike and Steve. It's weird seeing him with a smaller set.

Wow! You could actually see Portnoy.

I love you guys.

thats the most minimalistic kit ive seen an artist use in a long time.

[QUOTE=Crysiss]thats the most minimalistic kit ive seen an artist use in a long time.[/QUOTE]
Especially since it's Portnoy.

yea, Geez I cant wait for more news to come out about this project.

are the DT fans as stoked by this?

I don't know about the DT fans, but I know I'm stoked.

he looks like a damn hillbilly :(

Who are you talking about

portnoy :) with the converse like shoes and the overwashed shirt :D

Martin Lopez Leaves.........................
:(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Yes, it is sad. I just bought Damnation today and am especially astounded by the drumming!

We will have to see what happens next.

It wont be for awhile until another album, so you'll have to wait til than. Id say late 07 they're next album will be released.

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]Hmm, I'll listen to it then and see. I always thought Akerfeldt sang all those clean parts :-/

I'm taking a guess......... Is it Masters Apprentices???

well, we werent guessing what song it was, I was trying to show them an example of where Steven Wilson sings.

[QUOTE]Ahh any recommended songs? Maybe worth the look if thier good.[/QUOTE]

Check out Arriving Somewhere But Not Here, Akerfeldt does the backing vocals and it's one of their heavier songs. For some others:

Blackest Eyes
Trains
Lazarus
Glass Arm Shattering
Halo
Always Never
She's Moved On

That should get you started. ;)

I assumed it would be in that time period anyway. I prefer when bands wait at least two years in between albums because it gives me more time to make my final decision on their previous album. I wouldn't want the follow-up to Ghost Reveries to come out in late August. One can only wonder what the next one will sound like, though.

GR was fine, but I really hope the next album is different.

Hey I'm just starting to get more deeply into Opeth, though I had already heard them, but only have the album of Damnation. So what other albums do you recomend me to download first?

Blackwater park OR Still life

(BWP being my first opeth album, very distinct)

And if you havent heard it, Black Rose immortal, The longest song..Ever (Probably longer out there, but wont be as good as opeth)

OK thanks dude. Can you send me that album please?

Hmm i cant upload for **** man...
