OPETH has announced the release of their hugely anticipated eleventh studio album. Pale Communion arrives everywhere on June 17th.
Pale Communion, which was produced by the band’s very own Mikael Akerfeldt 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, May 6th.
The new material find’s OPETH once again challenging the boundaries of extreme music. In a recent interview with Noisey, Akerfeldt stated, “I wanted to do something more melodic with this album… there’s stronger vocal melodies and more melodies overall… I was pretty consistent with that frame of mind throughout the writing process.”
Pale Communion follows 2011’s critically acclaimed Heritage which proved a milestone album for OPETH, earning them widespread acclaim and an ever-growing fan following.
