OPETH Warns Against False Gig Advertising

March 5, 2007

OPETH's manager, Andy Farrow of Northern Music Co., has released the following statement:

"A website called Blindfaith is falsely advertising a gig in Hull on November 25th with OPETH headlining. We would like to state that this gig is not confirmed and has never been discussed. This is a blatant attempt to rip fans off and will not be tolerated. Please contact us if anyone has bought tickets."

According to a recent posting on OPETH's official web site, the group's frontman Mikael Ã…kerfeldt has started writing material for what is supposed to be the ninth OPETH record, tentatively due before the end of the year. In addition, he is working on an as-yet-unnamed side-project. More information will be made available soon.

OPETH filmed its November 9, 2006 show at the Roundhouse in London for a possible DVD.

The special-edition deluxe version of OPETH's "Ghost Reveries" CD was released on October 31 via Roadrunner Records. Bonus material on the set includes the band's cover of DEEP PURPLE's "Soldier of Fortune", a 40-minute documentary about the making of the record complete with the band's own private tour footage, the video for "The Grand Conjuration", liner notes, photos, an enhanced 24-page booklet, deluxe sleeve, and 5.1 surround exclusive mix of the record made by original mixed/engineer Jens Bogren.
