The Slanny Ganizat Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm not too worried about there not being growls. I enjoy them but Damnation is one of my favorite albums. I'm excited to hear the new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I read somewhere that the album has a strong Jethro Tull vibe and its very mellow. I don't really care for the growling, but I can tolerate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fans that like the growl vocals are pissed they are not on the new stuff Yeah - I'd like a stronger death metal presence to be honest, but it'll be interesting to see how it sounds. They're more than competent enough to write some excellent Prog Rock, it'll just be a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not anyone really appreciate the pure voice of Mikael Akerfeldt? When he sings Burden, I am really blown away with the control and pitch he has.

That being said I like the mix. But either way...I trust MA to bring it the right way, whatever that is. If he weren't dynamic I wouldn't be the Opeth fan I've become.
