I don't know about anyone else, but I'm pretty excited about this!
It's a collaboration between Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) and Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth). This was the project that was originally going to feature Mike Portnoy, but there aren't any drums beyond percussion.
The current list of instruments are guitars, keyboards, percussion, orchestra and vocals - I'm not sure what sort of music you could come up with using those! Steven Wilson has described the album as "pretty dark stuff, in a way heavy music with no heavy metal elements".

Did they ever say when this was expected to come out? Portnoy said on twitter today that he spent some time with Akerfeldt and listened to a few new Opeth songs; I wonder if he's doing both projects at once?

No set release date, but SW seems pretty confident of a 2011 release. And yes, I'm pretty sure Mikael is working on the next Opeth album, too.

This project, and a new Opeth, and Dream Theater album would make 2011 pretty sweet!

And as if that wasn't enough Pain of Salvation, Meshuggah, Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects and Scar Symmetry will also be releasing new albums. I also noticed that Evergrey already released a new album this year, but I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet...

I dislike the Åkerfeldt part of this project, I just can't stand him.

I dislike the Åkerfeldt part of this project, I just can't stand him. I think he's great... but I can understand his acquired taste. The stuff he's done with Steven is excellent, IMO (Opeth's Blackwater Park, especially is an amazing metal album). ~Dan |
