New Opeth album information

2011-05-27 by maidenpmcc | 133 Comments
Opeth have revealed the track listing for their upcoming 10th album Heritage, which is scheduled for release on September 20th this year through Roadrunner Records.

01. Heritage
02. The Devil's Orchard
03. I Feel The Dark
04. Slither
05. Nepenthe
06. Haxprocess
07. Famine
08. The Lines In My Hand
09. Folklore
10. Marrow Of The Earth

Mikael also took some time to discuss the sound and atmosphere of the new material:

"It's quite intense at times in some old murky way, and quite beautiful and stark at times, if I may say so myself. It's obvious I'm going to say nice things about it since I wrote, basically, the whole piece, but I guess it will raise a few eyebrows and it certainly is an acquired taste. I think you'll need a slightly deeper understanding of our music as a whole to be able to appreciate this record."

"It will be our 10th album/observation. I dig it; we all do. In fact, it feels like I've been building up to write for and participate on an album like this since I was 19."

idk man, Jens Bogren who worked with Opeth had these titles

Heritage
The Orchard Keeper
Famine
The Outerdark
Lines In Our Hands
Cities of the Plain
The Crossing
Children of God

might be bullshit but some of those "official" titles seem suspect to throw off leaks and shit. Slither, and the blatant Agalloch references. hmmmm......

I'm hoping for a Still Life meets Watershed. But I heard talk that they are going to take their 'soundscape' on a more Jazzy venture.

I can't find the video of it, but there is one of them playing pure-Jazz-session. They do it quite Well.

"marrow of the earth" is a blatant ripoff from marrow of the spirit. not that it's necessarily a bad thing, but it's certainly where they got it from.

they were probably the first to use "marrow of the" and to use the same title a mere half year later from a band that are often compared to Agalloch (for some reason) is suspicious. again, not a bad thing, Agalloch influence in an Opeth album could be good.

They're two of my favorite bands, so I hate to see any sort of bad blood between the two. These "quotes" from Mikael that people have been addressing, though, (here, Don's Facebook, and elsewhere) don't seem to be all that legit. But this whole song title thing...

yeah :]

bassist said on facebook:

Jason Walton in an interview once he said something to the effect that he doesnt waste his time with bands like agalloch who are doing now what they did 15 years ago.

they also said something about them being ripoffs or something and they got compared a lot.

doubt the bassist would lie so hm idk

if it's not a coincidence, it's not a friendly poke. if it is a coincidence, oh well, who cares, still interested in this album. :]

not sure what his privacy settings are but if you can't see it just send him a fr/rq.

i'm not sure who in opeth said it but apparently they did, so it seems strange they'd use that title knowing there's a bit of friction between both bands

you'd think that they'd try and distance themselves by not using similar titles

but whatever, i'm not sure i care anymore :]

i think you entirely missed my point. i'm not calling opeth a ripoff of agalloch due to similarities in song-titles, christ. what I'm saying is it's weird to use such similar titles when there's friction between both bands. if I was in Opeth's shoes and I saw Agalloch used a uncannily similar title 6 months prior, i wouldn't have used it and I would have
chosen something else. i just find it weird, that's all. :]

I found Heir Apparent to be one of the album's strongest tracks. As well as one of Opeth's best. "Coil" was probably my least favorite. Actually, I hate that song.

He's talking about Jason, Agalloch's bassist, saying this stuff on a Facebook thread. This has nothing to do with Mendez.

I've searched the internet high and low for any legit interviews with Akerfeldt mentioning Agalloch and found squat. Probably just a rumor started after some asshole posed as Mike in a random forum or something.
