I've heard August 30th. I don't know if that's for sure though.

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]Know that he's what? Gay? British? Black? Deaf? Retarded? Mute? Gay? French? explain...[/QUOTE]

Intentionally misspelling things.

I just listened to it twice in a row and I need a better quality version now!!!! lol

I think the radio rip is missing some the keyboards and other guitar parts.

Other than that I think the song is ok. It hasn't really impressed me yet, but maybe the real cd quality version might impress me. One thing I liked was the intro the solo, where Mikael is tapping, but the rest of the solo, I don't know.

cd quality please!!!!

I liked it, or I think I did. The keyboards are a nice touch, it sounds pretty creepy. :) Sound quality was pretty blarg, though.

I thought the keyboards were a bit bland because all per did was follow the guitar line at certain points. I think there were a few parts where Per just added an atmosphere. I hope it's the recording quality that is hindering most the keys though because I think there's more to the keys than just following the guitars.

[QUOTE=ChrisTabber]Hi

Does anyone know who (or who is likely) to be supporting Opeth in London on the 8th September. I have been unable to find this out, and am very curious to know.

Who do Opeth usually play with?

Thanks in advance[/QUOTE]

In 2003 at least - Madder Mortem were the support band on EU tour.

The new song kicks! Can't wait to get the new album.

Crazy new song. I like it :)

The guy ripping it was a fuc[i][b][/i][/b]kwad, but what the hey, it's a new Opeth song, and it's great!

Ok, so at first listen I didn't really like the song all that much.

But after about 5 listens today it is really growing on me and I would rate it up there with my top 20 opeth songs.

It really reminds me of Meshuggah in a way that it sounds "mechanical"
Some parts in the song are extremely heavy and I can't wait to hear the actual version of it.

Just listened to it and liked it a lot. Definitely has made me for pumped for the album.

where can i find the new song?

Just scroll through the news until you see it.

Eh...
It's ok. I've only listened once. So yeah.

It'll grown on me probably.

The new song is really cool. I like it alot.

The drum sound on the new song is really annoying. Maybe it's just the quality. Also, the keyboards following the guitar come off as being really cheesy. I like the vocals a lot, though. Good, creepy vibe to the song. I need better quality, though.

So far I really like it, aside from the intro which was kind of stupid. But other than that, good atmosphere, and some classic Opeth.

Yeah I really wish they didn't add a keyboardist for full time, no offence to Per at all.

I remember Mike saying that they would never need a keyboardist because the acoustic guitars would add all the "ambience" that they need...

I hope the keys don't replace the acoustics. :(

I'm certain the bad drum sound is due to the quality

That first riff sounds extremely similar to the BWP one, just with a different cadence.

The entire song is pretty meh right now. I've gave it two or three listens so far.

I do not like the new song.

Dam[B]n[/B] it, I can't download that on 56k...I'll have to mooch off my friends I suppose.

pretty heavy song. i liked it. i was expecting it to be bad but was wrong

the song seems to be like a complation of the best riff's ect ect of their songs, with new vocals, and a few new melodies example: solo round 3.20-3.34ish sounds ALOT like a few in their older songs

if i'm correct, no relase date yet? But my bet would be +/- 1 or 2 weeks from what u said

I have a feeling the album will be leaked within the next two weeks, and at least one more song will be available for download.

Let's hope so, I can't wait much longer. :(

I feel guilty about downloading it.But I did.I was far too anxious and curious to not do so.I dont wanna play the song out 2 months before the release date.I'll listen to it for a bit more then I'll delete it.......if I have the will power.Hopefully.With that said......

The song absolutely owns.Not too impressive at first listen, but it certainly grew on me heavily as I listened to it more.It's very different, but still Opeth.It still sounds like the natural progression from D+D.It has the great drumming from Deliverance, with the dark mellotrons and keyboards of D[I]a[/I]mnation.I really like what Per adds to the song.The keyboards make this song sound freakin evil!Oh, and Mikael's growls are as sinister as ever.Closer to how they were on the Bloodbath record than they were on any of the Opeth records.The guitars sound thicker and heavier too.Another upside.The only downside really is that there is no acoustic passage.Other than that, its great.

9.5-10

I like the new song but I'll be surprised if the new album surpasses Blackwater Park.

Keyboards are definately cool, and I like the most of hte time except at the beginning where they just follow the guitars and make it sound psuedo-creepy and a little campy. Other than the intro, I think the song rocks.
