In the Ghost Reveries documentary, there is a short moment with Per and Martin Lopez playing some jazz, and I liked the sound of it.

Oh man, if the church organ is anything like Close to the Edge I am going to be so psyched.  This is very exciting; most of the bands I like aren't producing albums anymore.
The goal of music is to transcend notes and rhythms, to transcend music; To become more than itself, a world set apart from mundane experience.

I'm going to get this album the day is comes out. It sounds really, really, great. I almost died laughing when I read the church organ part. That has to be the most metal thing I've heard today. Big%20smile

The disc will feature a church organ on one track, which was recorded inside a real church. The Opeth boys convinced the local clergy to let them use their organ for an afternoon. "And [keyboardist] Per Wiberg went in there and broke it, playing a really doomy, devilish-sounding riff." Ã…kerfeldt is still waiting on an estimate from the church on how much it's going to cost to have it repaired.


oh ...hahhahhah....now that is prog.... getting this album the day I can get my hands on it

The band's self-produced record will contain seven epic tracks, the average running time being somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 minutes.

 


I'll buy it
