Seems like songs that the record company wanted out first. I hear from people in the know the rest of the album is better for us real metalheads
i can't wait. my most anticipated album of the year by far

What the hell has been going on lately?
I can't remember ANY month that has ever been as terrible on metal as this one. Agalloch and Eluveitie and Dethklok are no more! Ex-Megadeth and ex-Municipal Waste and ex-Bell Witch drummers are dead!
Thanks a lot, May 2016.
Anyone here going to Download Festival this year?

In the interview Mikael said they plan on recording new material. New Opeth album soon?
Well, thank Odin they aren't breaking up. Your jinx has failed and you're redeemed.

LOL.
I knew that's what you were alluding to!
But I hope they don't break up anytime soon, because personally I love what their doing with their sound. Unlike other Opeth fans, I love their Extreme Metal output but don't mind if they leave it behind. I like how Axenrot and Mendez are experimenting.
I don't really mind them leaving the extreme metal behind, Mike can't do that stuff vocally forever. I just didn't really like the songs we got on Heritage or Pale Communion. They're not awful. But I didn't have any kind of reaction listening to them at all. I think they just lost whatever made them memorable for me.
If we were getting songs on the level of Face of Melinda (my favorite song of theirs) on these albums, I'd have no complaints.
edit: I am glad to see that Mike is still excited to make music though. That alone will always have me check out what they do.
I was iffy on Heritage at first, but I grew to like that sound and kind of got addicted to it for a bit there. Also, they played the fuck out of that material live. My favorite time seeing them was for Heritage.
Pale Communion is fucking baller as a prog album through and through.
Leidungr - De Nio Kraftsångerna (Atmospheric Folk/Viking)

This is kind of on the level of Wardruna or Forndom, but with it's own distinct atmosphere. Lots of layers and textures that sound very authentic. It's kind of like what an introverted viking would listen to alone in a dark corner of the mead hall.

I had a good time seeing them a few years ago (Escape From Within!) but I didn't dig their new stuff.New Flotsam and Jetsam is slamming
Looks like playing with all those energetic young thrash acts over the past couple years sparked something in them. These riffs are infectious. If you like melodic thrash metal check it out, it is so much better than their last effort. I cannot wait to see them live again becasue these tunes will go over great

"This one's called GIDDY UP!" ......what
This track isn't doing it for me either
New Flotsam and Jetsam is slamming
I wouldn't know. I've been checking Spotify and Youtube everyday since release for the album stream, and nope.
But if the whole album is as good as Iron Maiden, it will be an AotY contender for me. Maybe I should just be the CD? (Something I haven't done in years)
I had never really listened to them until Iron Maiden came out, but I've blasted that song at least 30 times since they released it. If that's my benchmark for the band, does the rest of their new album live up to that?Yeah I'm enjoying blasting it in the car the past few days

I really enjoyed the new albums from Paradox and The Vision Bleak.

How does the new The Vision Bleak compared to Carpathia?
How come I'm just learning about Mgla right now? With Hearts Toward None is fucking great.
The last song on the album is my favorite. It fitted perfectly the mood, when I drove in the blizzard during the Yuletide a couple of years ago.
Unfortunately, the following album was a disappointment.
Sorry, pretty underwhelming. Some OK moments but very meandering, and nowhere near as good as Wardruna.
