Mikael Akerfeldt - Begins To Work On New Opeth Album And Side-Project
Mikael Akerfeldt has posted a message on their website telling that he has started the 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 their fans worldwide who came and saw them on the "Ghost Reveries" world tour 2005/2006. They also want to thank the promoters and agents who made this tour possible. They hope to see you again soon!
Blabbermouth.net reported earlier that Opeth will be Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson's guests on this Saturday, January 6 during Bruce's weekly BBC 6 Music radio show, aptly named "Rock Show".

Great! the ninth album! I think Opeth are one of the best metal band in the world, I've seen them play two time in 2006: simply awesome!

Maybe he's beginning work on some more Sörskogen material. That'd be awesome if he is.

They probably would have been better of adding yours! I just noticed that they mis-spelt 'Åkerfeldt'. That wasn't me!!

Written by Guest on 04.01.2007 at 10:42 ... well, "feldt" sure means "field" but as far as I know you don't usually englify names. Not the first time the staff messes things up xP

Great news, hard to believe Opeth manges to put out an album every 2 years, makes thousands of tours and still never dissapoint. I'm sure this will turn out to be another masterpiece.

Written by Guest on 04.01.2007 at 10:03 Well actually, yes it could have. I'm afraid the album won't be done until at least the later months of this year.
