New Opeth album "The Last Will and Testament" releasing October 11th 2024 (Atmos mix!)

I came in at Watershed. Not as much into the growly vocals but I've softened to them as well as some other heavier bands that use them, since then. I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan or willing to engrave them as my first body art, but I do have everything of theirs on disc and/or surround. Firmly in my top 5 prog bands.

[I have also not listened to a single second of the pre-released material, but that's my generally strategy now for any bands I already like]

Mine (ordered in August) is supposed to be here by 10PM, but isn't out for delivery yet (it's now 1230PM). Whatever Amazon thinks is this bluray has moved from Minneapolis to Las Vegas in the past day, so unless they're blowing smoke there's definitely a bluray with my name on it coming soon. Hopefully!

My copy from Amazon is still due to be delivered this afternoon - tracking shows it left the carrier hub for delivery a few hours ago. Amazon must have received a limited number for release day.

That's possible, mine also hasn't hit out for delivery so there's a risk I'll end up being queued like the others.

UPDATE: changed to 'tomorrow' by 10PM. So... better than December something I suppose. Amazon's had moments of hot mess the past year, so there's still a chance I don't see this until December even if it's sitting here in a warehouse the whole time.

I came to Opeth after the release of Ghost Reveries and fell hard. Getting ready to spin the new one as soon as I am done ripping.

For me, seeing them open for Porcupine Tree In Absentia tour, they were promoting Damnation. Blown away by their performance. It was at the WHK THEATRE in Cleveland.

Dream Theater, Opeth and 3 ... yeah I spent A LOT of money the next day catching up on 3 and Opeth

A bit relieved that my copy of TLWAT arrived from Amazon today as expected - probably due to the fact I ordered as soon as the listing appeared. Love the gothic vibe on the packaging, along with the enclosed poster with lyrics and credits. Amazing that someone of Mikael Akerfeldt's talent is still so invested in this group, the music, production and presentation, after all these years. Will be listening in depth tomorrow...
