Opeth annonce un nouvel album et signe chez un nouveau label

Hugo

J'écoute que du rap et de la techno en vrai.

On a de l'actu du côte de Opeth (Metal Progressif - Suède) !
Le groupe vient de signer chez Nuclear Blast Entertainment, ce que le propriétaire du label commente : " I am honoured that Opeth has joined the Nuclear Blast family. Mikael Åkerfeldt and his fellow bandmates have demonstrated time and time again that Opeth are a band that never releases an album that sounds the same. You never know what their new music will sound like! Nuclear Blast has been following the musical journey of Opeth from the beginning with Orchid to landmark albums like Still Life, Deliverance, Damnation and Blackwater Park, right up to 2014’s Pale Communion. The band has become one of the most challenging artists in rock music today. It is not often that we get to work with musicians of their calibre and I am thrilled to have such a unique genre-leader on the label.The future for Opeth and Nuclear Blast looks very bright. "

De plus, Mikael Åkerfeldt nous donne quelques détails sur le successeur de « Pale Communion », qui s'intitulerait « Sorceress » et sortirait à la fois chez Nuclear Blast et Moderbolaget Records (label du groupe) à l'automne prochain.
"We’re happy to confirm that we have indeed signed a deal with Nuclear Blast Entertainment and will be putting out our 12th studio album, Sorceress via our own imprint,Moderbolaget Records. The decision was made in Markus Staiger’s (Nuclear Blast kingpin) ridiculously potent Porsche going at 150 mph somewhere in the south of Germany. We’re happy to be part of the NB team and look forward to a fruitful relationship."

Ne reste plus qu'à attendre plus d'informations et, en attendant, on se ré-écoute un extrait du dernier album du combo.

Rappelons que le groupe sera en tournée européenne prochainement.
