OPETH 'Dropped' By ZOMBA, Seek New Label Home
July 23, 2004Sweden's OPETH are officially free agents as a result of having been dropped by BMG/Zomba after their previous label, Music For Nations, was folded into parent company Zomba Records Group (the world's largest independent music group). The band are looking through new offers at the moment.
As previously reported, OPETH frontman Mikael Ã…kerfeldt has started writing material for the group's next album, tentatively scheduled to be recorded sometime in the early spring of 2005. Ã…kerfeldt has also visited No Man Studios in Hemel Hampstead, U.K. to lay down some guitars and backing vocals for the next, as-yet-untitled PORCUPINE TREE record. Mikael plays guitar on one track and sings backing vocals on another five songs. The album is due for release late this year.
