Opeth: Neuer Record-Deal, neues Album

Die schwedischen Progressive-Metaller OPETH haben neuerdings einen Vertrag bei Nuclear Blast unterschrieben. Auf diesem Label soll auch der Nachfolger des 2014er Albums „Pale Communion“ unter dem Titel „Sorceress“ gegen Ende des laufenden Jahres erscheinen.

Markus Staiger von Nuclear Blast kommentiert: „I am honored 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 caliber and I am thrilled to have such a unique genre-leader on the label. The future for OPETH and Nuclear Blast looks very bright.“
