Bröötalisk - After Doing Some Research, I Noticed That Tonight's Show Is Going to Feature Some of Your More Mellow, Softer Songs Bröötalisk - After doing some research, I noticed that tonight's show is going to feature some of your more mellow, softer songs. Why did you decide to sacrifice your more popular stuff to play some of your lesser known material? Åkerfeldt - Well it's not like a mellow set. There's some, I would say, more intense bits in the set then mellow sets. But there aren't any of the death metal type of songs. Basically we've been, for the last ten or so tours, focusing on the more heavier songs. And this new albums is obviously special in the discography. We decided to pick songs that fit together with these new songs. We're promoting this new album now, not the old stuff. So I wouldn't mind to play only the new record, if you know what I mean. I like to show clearly that this is what we like now as opposed to have a new album out that just plays the old shit because it makes people happy. We've done that so many times. So I'm hoping people realize it's a special type of tour. Once this album settles in the discography and becomes just a record, as opposed to the new album that we're promoting, we're probably gonna mix it up more, but right now we're picking songs from the old records that fit together with these songs. It also saves my voice because I'm singing in a whole different way now on this new album than I have in the past. Even if I had clean vocals in the past these types of vocals on the new record are more...belting it out sometimes, and the screaming vocals just takes a toll on my clean vocals. Bröötalisk - How do you feel that you are the last surviving original member of Opeth? Is it more difficult to work with newer faces as opposed to more experienced people? Åkerfeldt - No. I like it. Every new addition or every time the lineup changes, even if I don't like them, it always brought something new to the band. Which is a cliché but it's also something that everybody will understand because in any type of environment, if you're in a relationship and you find a new girl and you love this girl, you're not gonna be thinking about the old girl too much. Any type of job, there's always new people coming and going. It always adds something. And now people are complaining about Anders leaving the band in '96 because then we had Lopez and now we have Axenrot and the same goes for Peter and Fredrik. For me being in the band people can say what they want and I understand lineups and how people view a band and they have their favorite era of the band, they're favorite lineup. It doesn't matter. Nothing's gonna change that. That's to them. But for me, who has played with all these guys, I know for a fact that we're a stronger band musically then we've ever been. But people have this whole perception about when Peter or Lopez was in the band that was their favorite lineup because that's when their favorite album came out. But for me we've always escalated and reached levels that we've never been able to reach before every time we had a new guy come in. I mean, I never pushed anyone out. And I'm very loyal and I want the whole team type of situation with this band. For me it's been really interesting. I don't ever regret or wish it was like how it was before. Never had those types of feelings, and it's because I'm on the inside. Bröötalisk - I'm a huge fan of both you and Steven Wilson, which makes me very excited over the news about Storm Corrosion. Care to shed light on this mysterious project? Perhaps an album date, what we can expect, etc? Åkerfeldt - It's one of those projects where you have to head it to understand what it is. You can talk about certain things and say what it's like musically and stuff like that but it really doesn't give much of a clear picture of what it is. We've been thinking about working together for such a long time and this is the result finally happening. We recorded 6 songs I think and they're different from anything I've ever been involved in. Some of those songs are some of the most beautiful type of music that I've ever been involved in. And it's a big relief. I'm happy it happened. It's great. *laughs* What can I say? I love it. But if you're a diehard metal fan, you might have problems with it. That is, if you're not open minded. If you just listen to metal music then it's not for you. Bröötalisk - It sounds like you and Wilson are really, really good friends? Åkerfeldt - Yeah. We've become really good friends lately. When he started working with us we clicked almost immediately even if we're very different people with different backgrounds. We're very, very different, but we get along great. So I count him as one of my best friends these days. Bröötalisk - I've always been curious as to how the friendship between you two started? Åkerfeldt - He emailed me. I actually just set up my first computer and my email, and I had an email address but I never really got any emails. One day however I got an email from him. He said he liked the new album, which at the time was Still Life. And I was already a big Porcupine Tree fan by then. And all I could think was "Wow". I viewed him as an idol and as one of the very few guys that was doing music at the time and still is today that was relevant and that meant something to me, because I was only listening to old music. So we started emailing a bit back and forth. Just talking shit basically. I went to see him in London and asked him if he wanted to produce the next album which was Blackwater Park. So that's how it happened. Just had dinner. *laughs* Bröötalisk - While on the topic of side projects, I haven't heard any news about Bloodbath in a while. Are you guys doing any work with Bloodbath, or is that lower on the priority list? Åkerfeldt - Not from me, but I'm not constant in that band. I'm kinda come and go. I kind of leave and come as I please, in a way, and I have no problem if they wanted to record with another singer, or tour, for that matter. I'm doing it for fun, and unless I feel it's fun I don't want to do it. But it's really Jonas Renkse (bassist for Bloodbath, vocalist for Katatonia) and Anders Nyström (guitarist for Bloodbath and Katatonia) and "Sodomizer" (Per Erikkson, guitarist for Bloodbath and Katatonia) who write for Bloodbath, and I just show up sometimes, so I'm not sure if I'm in the band or not, to be honest. Bröötalisk - Speaking of which, I never realized until just recently that Bloodbath consists of only Opeth and Katatonia members. Is there any possibility of a Bloodbath encore at the end of the show? Åkerfeldt - Not this show, but on this tour, yeah. Bröötalisk - Another random question that might be obvious: I've always wondered why bands from Sweden usually sing in English. Is that something that's just implied when forming a band? Åkerfeldt - Well we learn English pretty early on. We probably learn earlier now, but when I was a kid I learned in 3rd grade. But before that I had already started to learn through the music I was listening to which was only musica sung in English. And I developed an interest in languages. That was one of the things in school that I really enjoyed. It's basically to reach out. Singing in Swedish might be exotic to a few people and it might be a little irritating, people won't know what you're singing about. Artists who only sing in Swedish, as I know it, they're limited to a career in Sweden, which is basically nothing. My dream was never to tour Sweden, I wanted to come here when I was a kid. And metal was such a massive thing in the '80s when I grew up and I never even thought about singing in Swedish. Bröötalisk - Besides the two side projects, you've mentioned in the past that you want to record a solo album. Is this something that you're actively working on? Åkerfeldt - Not at the moment, no. I've been busy with our new record and stuff with Steven. I would like to do it, I think, if I come up with something good. But I don't really feel this is the time right now. A lot of people are asking me about it, so there must be some type of interest out there, which might eventually lead me to do something. That's the beauty of Opeth. Even if I don't see it as a solo project, I could pretty much get anything into Opeth, which has been my goal since the start.

  • Live Among the White Trash: a History of Nono----Manman on Stage
    Live Among the White Trash: A history of nono----manman on stage “There are no No-Man concerts scheduled for the foreseeable future.” (from the official no-man website) Anyone who has followed no-man’s career over the previous ten years or so will be acutely aware that the band does not play live. If no-man “exist” as a band at all – and their infrequent releases mean they are more an ongoing understanding between two men rather than an active unit – it is only in the studio. Over a series of uncompromising albums no-man’s music has become ever more complex, yet ironically, “live sounding” than the release which proceeded it. But this organic “liveness” is mainly an illusion; the feeling of spontaneity often the result of numerous edits and takes which only the precision of studio work can produce. Others have tried to perform equally difficult music live: Radiohead ambitiously thrusting their clicks-and- cuts post-rock upon the world’s stadiums, for example. But for a variety of reasons, no-man simply haven’t tried – at least, not since 1994 and not until a one-off performance in 2006. The only comparable case is Talk Talk’s retreat into the studio in the late 1980s. Both bands have undoubtedly crafted their best work without going near an audience. 1 But it wasn’t always so. no-man were once very much a live act, promoting singles and albums with dates and undertaking two full-blown tours – though they rarely played outside London, never went further north than Newcastle, and never played outside Great Britain.

  • Surround Sound Auteurs and the Fragmenting of Genre
    Alan Williams: Surround Sound Auteurs and the Fragmenting of Genre Proceedings of the 12th Art of Record Production Conference Mono: Stereo: Multi Williams, A. (2019). Surround Sound Auteurs and the Fragmenting of Genre. In J.-O. Gullö (Ed.), Proceedings of the 12th Art of Record Production Conference Mono: Stereo: Multi (pp. 319-328). Stockholm: Royal College of Music (KMH) & Art of Record Production. Alan Williams: Surround Sound Auteurs and the Fragmenting of Genre Abstract Multi-channel sonic experience is derived from a myriad of technological processes, shaped by market forces, configured by creative decision makers and translated through audience taste preferences. From the failed launch of quadrophonic sound in the 1970s, through the currently limited, yet sustained niche market for 5.1 music releases, a select number of mix engineers and producers established paradigms for defining expanded sound stages. Whe- reas stereophonic mix practices in popular music became ever more codified during the 1970s, the relative paucity of multi-channel releases has preserved the individual sonic fingerprint of mixers working in surround sound. More- over, market forces have constricted their work to musical genres that appeal to the audiophile community that supports the format. This study examines the work of Elliot Scheiner, Bob Clearmountain, Giles Martin, and Steven Wilson to not only analyze the sonic signatures of their mixes, but to address how their conceptions of the soundstage become associated with specific genres, and serve to establish micro-genres of their own. I conclude by ar- guing that auteurs such as Steven Wilson have amassed an audience for their mixes, with a catalog that crosses genre boundaries, establishing a mode of listening that in itself represents an emergent genre – surround rock.

  • Opeth – Sorceress
    Opeth – Sorceress (56:36, CD, Moderbolaget/Nuclear Blast/Warner, 2016) Old School-Fans, die Opeth auf Growls und Death Metal reduzieren, werden mit dem dritten „Just clean vocals“- Album in Folge erneut Schwierigkeiten haben und also weiterhin nur noch bei Konzerten bedient. Wer aber bereits zwischen „Heritage“ und “ Pale Communion“ eine deutliche Steigerung und Weiterentwicklung wahrgenommen hat und sich vielleicht für die Ausrichtung von Songs wie ‚Faith In Others‘ besonders erwärmen kann, wird diesem Zauber nun komplett verfallen. Obwohl kein wirkliches Konzeptalbum ist bei allem Abwechslungs- und Ideenreichtum doch eine deutliche atmosphärische Geschlossenheit spürbar – sowohl was musikalische wie textliche Themen angeht (vgl. dazu auch den Interview-Link bei den Surftipps unten). „Sorceress“ gelingt der Trick, den Eindruck von kompakter Zusammengehörigkeit, den „Heritage“ vermittelt, mit stärker anhaftenden, ohrwurmigeren Melodien wie bei „Pale Communion“ zu kombinieren. Akustische Gitarren und analoge Keyboardsounds sind nochmals wichtiger geworden – vgl. etwa die Ouvertüre ‚Persephone‘, das Album-Finale ‚Persephone (Slight Return)‘, oder das nach einem heftig zerrenden E-Piano-Intro in Midtempo majestätisch losrockende ‚Sorceress‘.

  • Anders Nyström, Katatonia, on „The Fall of Hearts“
    Anders Nyström, Katatonia, on „The Fall of Hearts“, new band-members and touring plans »It’s a play between light and dark, if you don’t have the light, you won’t see the dark« Prior to the release of the tenth Katatonia album The Fall of Hearts on the 20th of May, I had the chance to speak to guitar player Anders Nyström about the recordings and the songwriting of the album, new band members and touring plans of the swedish kings of dark melancholic progressive metal. Zur deutschen Übersetzung des Interviews Anders, the upcoming Katatonia album „The Fall of Hearts“ will mark the first ‘fully distorted’ release since 2012’s highly acclaimed „Dead End Kings“ (excluding the live release „Last Fair Day Gone Night“, 2014). Having worked on the ‘metal-less’ 2013 re-imagining of Dead End Kings entitled Dethroned„ & Uncrowned“ (2013) and extensive subsequent acoustic tours culminating in the Live DVD release of „Sanctitude“ last year, how much has this rather long absence from fully plugged heaviness influenced the songwriting for The Fall of Hearts? I think, by doing the many „Dethroned & Uncrowned“ and „Sanctitude“ acoustic gigs and album we opened up a new door for our audience to choose, to get familiar with, to accept a new sound of Katatonia. We never tried to claim or anything that this was the indication of our new style. It was just a little side experiment to show that we have more sides than just one in Katatonia. We also could show a softer more lushy acoustic side that would still sound like Katatonia.

  • Part 7 Miranda Camp Lies
    Part 7 Miranda I forgot that I might see So many beautiful things I forgot that I might need To find out what life could bring —Andain, "Beautiful Things" Camp Lies My parents got divorced the summer before ninth grade. My father was with someone else right away. In fact, though my mother never said so, I think this was the reason they got divorced. After the divorce, I hardly ever saw my father. And my mother acted stranger than ever. It's not that she was unstable or anything: just distant. Remote. My mother is the kind of person who has a happy face for the rest of the world but not a lot left over for me. She's never talked to me much—not about her feelings, her life. I don't know much about what she was like when she was my age. Don't know much about the things she liked or didn't like. The few times she mentioned her own parents, who I've never met, it was mostly about how she wanted to get as far away from them as she could once she'd grown up. She never told me why. I asked a few times, but she would pretend she hadn't heard me. I didn't want to go to camp that summer. I had wanted to stay with her, to help her through the divorce. But she insisted I go away. I figured she wanted the alone time, so I gave it to her. Camp was awful. I hated it.

  • Steven Wilson, 17.07.18, Bonn, Kunst!Rasen
    Steven Wilson, 17.07.18, Bonn, Kunst!Rasen Der Prince of PopProg als (teils) übellauniger Bademeister »You look wet!« Was die Galligkeit seiner Ansagen angeht, ist Steven Wilson offensichtlich bei seinem Storm Corrosion-Buddy Mikael Akerfeldt in die Lehre gegangen. Allerdings ohne die Leichtigkeit von dessen Humor kopieren zu können. Apropos Sturm und Unwetter: ein solches hatte sich unbemerkt von wetter.de und Regenradar an den Kunst!Rasen angeschlichen und alle frühzeitig Erschienenen einmal gründlich gebadet. Bis der Regen dann nachließ. Nicht nur der ausnahmsweise mal mit dem Fahrrad entlang des Rheins angereiste Autor war – wie man sagen könnte – wet to the bone, ein anderer Betreuer ließ sich von den kurzzeitig wahrnehmbaren Blitzen und Donner sogar leider komplett in die Flucht schlagen. Allen, die zu bleiben riskiert haben, ward auf Wunsch ein rosa Cape zum Lohn (was ein weiteres Steven- Bonmot provozierte: „I see a lot of Pink –Nick (Beggs)‘ favourite colour!“).

  • Porcupine Tree — the Sound of Muzak 13 — 14
    Porcupine Tree The Sound Of Muzak Track Porcupine Tree — The Sound Of Muzak 13 — 14 Als 2002 zum Album „In Absentia“ Gavin Harrison als neuer Drummer zu Porcupine Tree kam, holte man damit einen echten Spezialisten für vertrackte Rhythmen an Bord. Polyrhythmik, Akzentverschiebungen und ungeraden Rhythmen machen sein Spiel unverwechselbar. Genau diese Stilelemente findet man auch in „Sound Of DH: Was macht den Drumpart von „The Sound Of Muzak“ Muzak“. Dazu kurz vorweg: Dieser Song ist rhythmisch und denn so charakteristisch? spieltechnisch ein echter Brecher, also nicht unbedingt was für Einsteiger. Aber dafür dürfen wir mit Stolz verkünden, Gavin: Es is ist das spezielle Feel in der Strophe. Den dass Gavin höchstselbst unsere Transkription gecheckt hat Hauptrhythmus denke ich als 7/8-Takt, aber darüber spiele und als „... the most accurate version I've seen of this Song!“ 7/4. Das gibt dem Hörer eine bessere Orientierung. Wenn bezeichnet hat. ich diese Viertel-Akzentuierung wegließe, wäre es ein sehr Zudem stand Harrison uns noch für das folgende Mini- ruckeliger Rhythmus.

Gibt er dir auch genau vor, wie du deinen Part zu spielen hast? Gavin: Ich glaube, der Song war mit dem ersten Take im Kasten. Gavin: Also, dieser Song war fertig, bevor ich zur Band stieß. Ich flog nach New York als Session Drummer und spielte das Album in sechs Tagen ein. Steve hatte das 7/8-Pattern auf einem Drumcomputer programmiert.
