OPETH: New Album Due Late August/Early September

May 24, 2005

Sweden's OPETH have posted the following message on their official web site:

"We can now officially announce that OPETH has signed a worldwide contract with Roadrunner records. The rumours were true! The new album is set to be released sometime in the late August or early September of 2005.

"OPETH has cancelled their Vienna/Austria Aerodrome festival appearance (May 27) due to the recording taking longer time than expected. We are very sorry for the fans who expected to see OPETH there, but we hope to return to Austria as soon as humanly possible!

"The recording process is going well. One song is mixed and done, another one in the process of being mixed. Solos are being recorded as well as death screams. Some songtitles? 'Ghost of Perdition', 'The Baying of the Hounds', 'Isolation Years' and 'Harlequin Forest'. The record plan to be done by June 1.

"OPETH are most likely to appear at Bergen/Norway's Hole in the sky festival (August 24-27) as well as the semi legendary Summer Breeze (August 18-20) fest in Germany. We will confirm this as soon as it's....confirmed!"
