Swedish progressive metallers Opeth, possibly the one band keeping the spirit of 70’s prog-rock alive in extreme metal, will release their tenth album, "Heritage", on September 20 via Roadrunner Records. The CD was produced by Opeth vocalist/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt and was recorded earlier this year at Atlantis studios in Stockholm. Mixing duties were handled by Steven Wilson (PORCUPINE TREE) and Åkerfeldt himself. The Album comes out a couple months after Opeth’s appearance at the soon-to-be metal event of the year: Heavy T.O. Opeth will play day one of the event, set to take place at Downsview Park and includes such monolithic acts as Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Exodus, Motorhead, Children of Bodom, Rob Zombie and a host of others. There is no doubt in my mind that the Mikael and the boys will be gracing us with at least one new song from the up and coming album. The band is also set to announce a full-blown North American tour in the coming days, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Toronto gets a full headlining act from these guys, something particularly for Opeth fans.
The album will be released as a standard version; as a special edition loaded with extras; as a box set exclusive to the Roadrunner and the band's own official Omerch webstore; and as a double LP. There is something for every Opeth fan, thanks to this variety of options.
