decent amount of metalheads here, so this is good news: Opeth is recording a new album! If you don't know who they are, they are an extremely influential Progressive Death Metal band from Sweden. Infact, they're basically a death metal Tool. If you have not heard anything from them, check out their 2001 release, "Blackwater Park", fans hold it as their career masterpiece. One of my favorite bands of all time, check 'em out if you don't know 'em!
So, Halloween, frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt posted this on his myspace:

On top of that the album is now written and the demos sound fantastic! We will start recording it tomorrow actually! I don't wanna say too much but....gee, it is so fucking good!! If I may say so myself....Expected "delivery date" on this one is sometime in April/May 08.
On top of that (2)...my friends at PRS guitars and Laney decided to give me some early Christmas gifts. I had a stunning PRS Hollowbody II delivered and it's just awesome! Real ear and eye candy! And from Laney I got the new Lionheart mini stack which sounds beyond fantastic! That rig will be used quite a lot in the studio I'm sure!
Yes, you can probably say the last few days have been pretty fucking decent!"
