Opeth and Jens Bogren have now finished the recording and mixing of the latest opus "Ghost reveries". The album will be mastered today (June 16th) at the Cutting room facilities in Stockholm. Total running time will be around 65 minutes. Full tracklisting is:

Ghost of perdition
The baying of the hounds
Beneath the mire
Atonement
Reverie/Harlequin forest
Hours of wealth
The grand conjuration
Isolation years

A release date has yet to be confirmed, but it's planned for late August/early September worldwide through Roadrunner records.

[QUOTE=the2stranger]does anyone really care?
this man does produce one of the greaest songs IMO, so I don't care if he learned to play on a super school, or if he got his first guitar while buying a carton of milk.

as long as he continues to do, where I love him for, all is fine with me.[/QUOTE]

I agree, who cares about whether he knows theory or not, his music is what counts.

Here's a link to the Opeth coverwork(Its sick IMO), and a little article on the tracklisting:

Oooh...I like those song titles. "Atonement" sounds like a cool one, for some reason.

Beneath the Mire....................Opeth shall rawk tha fawk forthwards :cool:

I am fu[color=white]c[/color]king psyched.... I cannot stop making this comment.... I cannot wait for this album.

Yes, got me the "Ghost Reveries" avatar
<<<<<----------

It's going to kick so much as[I]s[/I] for sure.

I was flicking through a Revolver magazine yesterday and they had a section on the SOTU tour and they asked Mikeal a few questions. The last question was what would you name the tour if it wasn't called SOTU?

His responce:
"On The Verge Of Selling Out Tour"

Crazy Mikeal :lol:

Well, let's face it....Opeth and Strapping Young Lad are the only real bands of merit on that tour. Those 2 alone were easily worth my $30 bucks, though.

[QUOTE]Thinking about it, maybe it's Peter who does the harmonies.[/QUOTE]
You don't have to be a theory professor to know wether harmonies sound good or not. Harmonies are not that complicated, I do them myself all the time, and I barely know any of the chords i'm playing except for the normal boring ones(G, C, so on and so fourth).
People mistake the knowledge of theory and the knowledge of music entirely too much.

hey this is the first time i post in here because i just discovered that opeth is one of the greatest bands ever. and a friend told me that there was a new cd coming out. so can someone update me ?

thx

Look on the last page.

[QUOTE=bucket]High five to Flynn. My favorite album aswell... with Orchid somewhat close behind.

I LOVE the vocals on this part.

I have kept it
The [U][I][B]awakeneth[/B][/I][/U] symbol
Hidden inside the golden shrine
Until we rejoice in the meadow
Of the end
When we both walk the shadows
It will set ablaze and vanish [/QUOTE]




Yeah I love that part of the song...but he says ''Amaranth'' not Awakeneth.
There are several definitions of that word...but I think he meant this one.

[I][B]Amaranth[/I] - [I]An imaginary flower that never fades.[/B][/I]

''The amaranth symbol'' meaning a black rose petal, or rose maybe?

Anyway the song is epic and will always have a place in my top favorite songs ever recorded. :thumb:

:o

Well the cd booklet [I]DEFINETLY[/I] says awakenth. :amaze:

I guess it's expected since Orchid's and Morningrise's booklets are pretty much littered with typos...

As funny as it sounds...that's the only Opeth CD I havn't bought. I have the songs...But I can't get the @#%^#& CD anywhere...So I had to DL it.

The booklet says that? rofl it's weird. I swear it's Amaranth. Listen to it again. It's really noticeable. And definately makes more sense with the rest of the song lyrics. :D


btw...what's the booklet look like inside? I want to SEE IT! :mad:

Yes, he does say Amaranth, and the booklet is basically dark black and white band photos, with lyrics overtop.

I love Opeth :D

Have you guys seen the "cover art" for the new album?
It's pretty cool.

this should work.

EPIC

Yeah that cover definitely blows away all those psuedo-cult band CD covers out there...

the cover reminds me of deliverance's cover. Still pretty good though. I can't wait until the cd comes out.

Those candles look fantastic...

but I'm not crazy about the window in the back.



Complain, complain :D

I'm not saying I'm right here, but the stuff on Orchid and Morningrise with two completely different guitars going in two directions must take a little theory to figure out.

I listened to In Mist She Was Standing and that was just about the longest and most creative song I've ever heard.

You gotta have some knowledge of theory and harmony and whatnot to write good music...otherwise, the music will sound like crap.

Just don't enter an e-mail. When the song finishes uploading, it'll give you a link, which you post.
