OPETH's ÅKERFELDT, ÅKESSON Take Photo Trip Down Memory Lane (Video)

May 21, 2014

Guitarist Fredrik Åkesson and guitarist/vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt of Swedish progressive metallers OPETH were in Italy recently to promote "Pale Communion", the band's upcoming album. Soundsblog.it met with the duo and showed them a bunch of photos of the band taken through the years (including a rare shot from OPETH's first-ever concert),asking the musicians to recount their memories associated with each image. The resulting footage can be seen below.

"Pale Communion" recently had its release date pushed back to August 26 (via Roadrunner Records) from the previously announced June 17.

"Many of you have heard the rumours already and we can now confirm that the release of 'Pale Communion' has indeed been pushed back to late August," commented Mikael Åkerfeldt. "Several circumstances prevented the band from delivering essential tools to Roadrunner in time which are needed to set up the album release properly and release schedule conflicts made us mutually decide on August instead of June."

"Pale Communion", which was produced by Åkerfeldt and mixed by longtime collaborator and PORCUPINE TREE frontman/guitarist Steven Wilson, will be heralded by the lead single "Cusp Of Eternity" and available for pre-order starting Tuesday, June 3. Pre-orders for "Pale Communion" made via the iTunes Store will receive an instant download of "Cusp Of Eternity" as well as a second album track, to be released on July 15, with multiple configurations also available via both the Roadrunner Records webstore and O Merch.

"Pale Communion" track listing:

01. Eternal Rains Will Come
02. Cusp Of Eternity
03. Moon Above, Sun Below
04. Elysian Woes
05. Goblin
06. River
07. Voice Of Treason
08. Faith In Others
