Inlander:
New Tilly & the Wall album due in June, hopefully.

David_Dovey:

--- Quote ---"Watershed" is the name of Opeth´s 9th studio observation. The album has just been mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren with M. Åkerfeldt. The album consist of 7 songs and the titles are as follows:

1. Coil
2. Heir Apparent
3. The Lotus Eater
4. Burden
5. Porcelain Heart
6. Hessian Peel
7. Hex Omega

All the songs have been written by M. Åkerfeldt apart from "Porcelain Heart" which was co-written with Fredrik Åkesson. One additonal track, "Derelict Herds" has also been recorded and this was written by Mikael Åkerfeldt and Per Wiberg. On top of this, 3 cover songs has been recorded. "Bridge of sighs" from Robin Trower´s 1974 Lp with the same title, "Den ständiga resan" (sung in Swedish) by Marie Fredriksson as well as the classic Alice in Chains song, "Would?".

The album was recorded at Fascination street studios during November 1 and December 13. Some addtional recordings were done between January 3rd and 7th. Produced by Jens Bogren and Mikael Åkerfeldt and Opeth.

Says Mikael Åkerfeldt: "I´ve worked so hard with these songs for quite some time now, I´ve listened to 'em a zillion times. I don't hate them just yet! The album sounds great sonically and I think I can hear us evolving as the record plays on. It is taking us somewhere musically and I don't know where. It's very exciting to say the least! I can't remember having enjoyed a recording this much ever before."

The cover was (as usual) designed by Travis Smith in co-operation with Åkerfeldt. Release date is yet to be confirmed but Roadrunner worldwide will have it out sometime in the Springtime of this year.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Spluff:
I loved Ghost Reveries, so I'm stoked for Opeth.

Also, Kalmah and Alchemy X have a new album out this year. Norther already released one too, but I don't have it yet.

Sox:


The fact we get a new one of these things every year is basically the only reason I haven't topped myself yet. The cover is terrible, but I like it.

Edit: On a related note, you can hear the entirety of the new Make Believe album here. (but you have to sign up to hear more than 30 second previews)

KaosPilot:
I think the new Los Campesinos! album is going to be on my end of year list judging by the tracks I've heard from it already.

I also quite fancy the new Fuck Buttons.


And if there's a new Owls record...well that'd be just spiffy.
