Taken from www.opeth.com:
"Mikael has started writing for what is supposed to be the 9th Opeth record and is also working on a as of yet unnamed side project. The members of the band wish to extend a big 'thank you' to all our fans worldwide who came and saw us on the 'Ghost reveries' world tour 2005/2006. Thanks also to the promoters and agents who made this tour possible. We hope to see you again soon!"

This is very good news. I'm sure it will be top-notch, even without Lopez. Can't wait to hear some stuff from his side project too. Anyone know anything about that?

The side project better be a continuation of Sorskogen, but not likely.

Rumour has it it's a collaboration between Steven Wilson and Portnoy, but it's probably just something with Dan Swano.

They were fucking awesome when I saw them live last year. Their new album is already on my album of the year list, whenever it comes out hahaha!

I'm semi-interested in the project with Wilson and Portnoy. I have the song Cut Ribbon that they released a while ago and it's not bad, though very light and bluesy.

I'm more than ready for new Opeth.

This will probably be amazing. The side project sounds pretty cool as well.

I'm getting pumped.

But next time make sure you file this under the artist when you post the news article.

I'm afraid not. The Akerfeldt/Wilson project has not moved beyond the "talking" phase, and Cut Ribbon is actually an outtake from Porcupine Tree's In Absentia sessions, but the song is hardly light and bluesy. You've been duped.

New drummer, hmmm.

I can't wait to listen to this. Especially if it's not a leak.

I hope this record is out before the end of the year. If its anywhere as good Ghost Reveries itll be amazing. I really dont understand why some people hate GR.

Me either, it was a great album. Ghost of Perdition is an awesome song.

Oh man.

I guess that's okay. At least now they can surprise me.
