TAKE A LEAK: NEW OPETH MUSIC SURFACES

 Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 at 5:39pm by

The fine gents at Metal Injection [via YouTube user maxorxo] have dug up live footage of Opeth performing the new song “Heir Apparent” on the recent Melloboat cruise from Stockholm, Sweden. The song comes from Opeth’s forthcoming album Watershed due June 3 on Roadrunner Records.

Sounds like the band is in tip-top form and the new song is fucking heavy. Watch the footage — with excellent audio quality, all things considered — below.

    Good news indeed. After the last album, I was worried they were getting too weak. With Peter gone, chances of losing the way seemed high. Good to see Michael wearing a Morbid Angel t-shirt, even if Morbid Angel hasn’t been up to anything good in a long time. Still heavy!

    Glad this got posted, it’s pretty sweet. Why the fuck is all of MetalSucks italicized? Fix your CSS right fucking now or I swear to god I’ll go read half a post on Blabbermouth.

    I’m so stoked about this release. I’ve been a fan for such a long time. I wonder if any of the other new songs are lurking around the net…
