When we caught up on tour with Opeth, they had just released their 10th record, Heritage. Unlike some of their past (heavier) albums, Heritage has a more progressive vibe. To achieve this, Mikael and Fredrik used a wide range of PRS guitars (in addition to their signature models) on the album, including a JA-15, Tremonti, Starla, and an Angelus acoustic. Once recorded, Opeth returned to Porcupine Tree mastermind Steven Wilson to mix Heritage with him. "We've worked with different engineers but we never had anyone that we wanted their opinion on our music apart from Steven. The last album we did with him was Damnation. He was busy when we were doing Ghost Reveries and Watershed. He's just one of those guys I completely trust musically. He's been sort of a mentor to me in some way. I've learned a lot of stuff from him about production."

Why does Frederik remind me of Bilbo Baggins in the new Hobbit movie?

@Vulkanzed-117 5 лет назад

I don't know either.

I was at that first show in Worcester, MA. People were in shock, it was dead silent when they were doing the quieter parts. I thought there was going to be riot when they did the acoustic set in the middle. Mikael was hilarious, at one point, he says "I know, we're difficult, just bear with us." The rough characters in the mosh pit were holding hands and dancing around like minstrels from the Middle Ages, almost mocking the music. People were muttering "Play Drapery Falls" .

Nice infos, i like this approach. ;) Back in the day all the specific gear/endorsment infos were impossible to know. :) I remember me and my Opeth tribute band freaking out on how to find the perfect Opeth sound. :)

I just wanna see what they do next. The not knowing which direction the music will take is exciting.

@drowssapma 3 месяца назад

They took it to a new, boring level no one has ever seen. Shame...once was a great band.

@Shezmen88 12 лет назад

You mean, Ghost Reveries? ;)

@vaxkors95 12 лет назад

I think Watershed has an organic production... It's one of my favourite albums next to Heritage...

@Lemmywinx666 12 лет назад

How the hell can you call Load and Re-Load commercial? Sure, they did a lot of videos, but not as much as heavy metals most pathetic bands, Iron Maiden and W.A.S.P, but I don't hear any1 complaining about those suckers.. No, I just want to give this tip to you all: listen to load and re-load in earphones, end compare them to the same experience with similar bands of the time! And THEN come and say that they aren't thoughtthrough!!!

@FeedThemCake 12 лет назад

@arjunparuthi You surely, surely must be confusing Martin Mendez, their bass player, with Martin Lopez, their ex-drummer.

@Cheximus 12 лет назад

@jabberwocky1969 Sounds like it must of been quite awkward and embarrassing to watch. I like the album, though.

@alagarswamyingersoll 12 лет назад

@Lemmywinx666 12 лет назад

Being a musician myself, I really HATE when ppl attack artists and bands when they decide to step away from "the angry child" inside and do some smart, thoughthtrough, music where the ability to use dynamics means more than playong as hard and fast as you can. Wanna be ALL death metal, stick to Nile. Want to be a part of a smarter, more liquid crowd; buy Heritage, load and reload (by 'tallica) and restless heart (by Whitesnake) and DON'T be a heavy metal square!

@Lemmywinx666 12 лет назад

So you HAVE TO love Iron Maiden? They were not groundbreaking at all, if you compare them to Judas Priest! Iron Maiden did the same thing, but all the time a little later than Priest. So Groundbreaking SCHOUNDBREAKING!

@tiwariraj 12 лет назад

Fredrick sounds just like Ian Paice...lol

@UKRCyanide 12 лет назад

Iron Maiden aren't that good, given they did influence a vast number of musicians they're songs are basically the same 3 chords. (The AC/DC of the 'Metal' genre). I personally never got into them just because I couldn't stand listening to the same outline of a song over and over.
