Storm Corrosion (Wilson, Akerfeldt) bei Roadrunner

Das erste Werk von STORM CORROSION, der Kooperation zwischen OPETHs Mikael Akerfeldt und PORCUPINE TREEs Steven Wilson, soll am 20. April über Roadrunner Records erscheinen. Beide Musiker haben ein Statement zum Album abgegeben:

Steven Wilson:
„If you’d asked me three months ago about the music, I would have said, ‚Expect the last thing you would expect.‘ But actually, now that ‚Heritage‘ and ‚Grace Of Drowning‘ have come out, I don’t think it’s going to be that much of a shock to people, because it’s almost like a third part of the trilogy, in a way. If anything, it’s even more orchestral, even more stripped down, even more dark, twisted and melancholic… but it certainly feels like it comes from the same place as ‚Heritage‘ and ‚Grace For Drowning‘, which indeed it does because it was written during the same period.“

Mikael Akerfeldt:
„Some of the music on this record I think is the most beautiful music I have participated on ever. There’s some magical sections on there. Musically I think we’ve created something earthy, a bit frightening, exhausting, profound and rather intense. All at the same time. I can safely say I don’t know any other band or artist that sounds anything like STORM CORROSION. I guess that was also one of our goals, so to speak.“
