Opeth\u2019s transcendent live shows have gone down in music folklore. On their upcoming March tour fans can expect a career defining set featuring songs from across their expansive catalogue. Their previous Australian tours have seen the sold out signs hung from venues across the country months in advance and this time will be no exception.<\/p>\n<p>Just back from a studio session with Mikael, we spoke to Fredrik from Opeth about the band\u2019s upcoming Australian tour that kicks off next week. He gave us an insight as to what we may hear and how it will differ from their last tour as well as hinted towards new material and why \u2018Heritage\u2019 needed to be made\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>You were last here in December 2011, playing to packed out crowds just after the release of \u2018Heritage\u2019, you\u2019re now headed back to Australia in March for some shows, what can the Aussie crowds expect this time around?<\/strong><br \/>\nThis time around we\u2019re going to play quite a different set list from last time, last time we played I think about five songs from \u2018Heritage\u2019 and this time around we play two songs and we spread it out a bit more. It\u2019s a very different set list, it\u2019s more heavy this time around. We enjoyed playing the last set and I know we were stretching it a bit as we didn\u2019t play any songs with growling vocals but on this round we will, songs like \u2018White Cluster\u2019, \u2018Blackwater Park\u2019 and stuff like that. So it\u2019s going to be quite a heavy set compared to last time, last time had its heavy moments but in a different way, this time around we do it different from last time and it\u2019s very important for us to do it different show coming on the same album second time to Australia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In your time with the band, how do you feel that you\u2019ve evolved personally in to the role?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell it feels very solid now and guitar playing wise it covers a lot of the different areas now and it makes it a lot of fun to play, now in march it\u2019s going to be six years since I joined the band, and today we were doing some new stuff for the next album, demoing and I was really happy, I felt like a fifteen year old heavy metal kid, it was fun. It\u2019s evolving for me a as a player but I also think the band is still evolving, developing and reaching new grounds and I think \u2018Heritage\u2019 was different but it was an album that the band needed to do, to do that different kind of stuff instead of repeating ourselves and trying to do a more death metal type of album which Mikael probably would like to do but you never know what the next album is going to be like. To get back to your question, it feels like we\u2019re a solid unit now, it takes you quite a while to get in to the landscape although the sound was different to listening than playing it, but it\u2019s easier for me now than in the beginning, put it that way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You just mentioned you were demoing some new songs, now you snuck a co-write in on the last album as a bonus track, have you been writing more for the new album or has this been left to Mikael?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m always trying and I\u2019m always recording stuff, today I did a solo on one of the songs that Mikael wrote, but I\u2019m working on some ideas and we\u2019ll see what happens on the next album, I\u2019ve been fortunate to have one song on each studio album that I\u2019ve played so far. I co-wrote \u2018Porcelain Heart\u2019 with Mikael and also \u2018Pyre\u2019 on the bonus track of \u2018Heritage\u2019. It\u2019s too early to say but I\u2019m doing my best to put some stuff in there with them and it\u2019s always difficult as well as Mikael has a very strong vision and he always comes up with a lot of good stuff and if there\u2019s anything he\u2019s light on, I will definitely introduce some ideas to him, so we\u2019ll see what happens.<\/p>\n<p><strong> So when do you think we can expect this new album or new material from the band?<\/strong><br \/>\nOur goal is to try to go into the studio in late September, that is just our goal, it depends how the writing goes, it\u2019s not confirmed, but we still have quite some touring to do, we have Australia, then we have a couple of shows in Japan then we\u2019re home for a few weeks, Mikael\u2019s going to move apartment in those weeks and then we\u2019re going to America, also with Katatonia, also to do our last headline run for \u2018Heritage\u2019 and then a few festivals, you never know how many we\u2019ll add on during this summer and that\u2019s it for the \u2018Heritage\u2019 tour. It\u2019s a tighter schedule for \u2018Heritage\u2019 after the \u2018Watershed\u2019 tour was done, because then we had quite some time off but now we\u2019re looking at going in to the studio almost directly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>After some criticism of Heritage and the lack of \u2018heavy\u2019 material compared to previous releases, is the heavier sound something that may make a return on the next release or is this direction more of what Opeth is about today?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s a bit early to say, but the stuff I heard to today, I don\u2019t know how much I\u2019m allowed to talk about it *laughs*, it\u2019s heavier riffs than on the \u2018Heritage\u2019 album, in a way, it\u2019s too early to say I think, but it\u2019s going to be different to \u2018Heritage\u2019 I can say that much.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On that, the word rejuvenation was thrown around at time of release, was the album seen as just that, a rejuvenation of the band in a way to remain relevant in this day and age?<\/strong><br \/>\nYeah in a way I would say, because Mikael said he really needed to do something different, the band needed to do something different because in a way it\u2019s took the death metal thing and screaming to its peak anyway. At the time he said if it wouldn\u2019t have been for \u2018Heritage\u2019 maybe the band wouldn\u2019t have existed anymore. So it was in a way it was some kind of, well I wouldn\u2019t say cleansing, but I\u2019m proud of the album, I still like it, I understand people, hardcore metal fans because there was no screaming but in a way it\u2019s quite metal within this album, because it\u2019s kind of bold to do this kind of album.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To me it reminded me of that very Deep Purple type late 70\u2019s metal and the likes\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, that\u2019s why the title is \u2018Heritage\u2019 because it\u2019s connecting with the musical heritage, it starts with Rainbow and the song \u2018Heritage\u2019 is a tribute to Ronnie Dio and songs with early Rainbow, Blackmore type riffs and we thought it would be cool to have on the album. It\u2019s very different to a standard Opeth song, but in the sequence of the album it worked out and I guess that\u2019s the type of song that would be on an Opeth album if it was called \u2018Heritage\u2019. \u00a0It takes some time to digest it of course, but I think the next album is going to be quite different from \u2018Heritage\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your logo is instantly recognizable, and many fans of yours have taken to get it tattooed on, what do you think it is about your music that encourages people to get this image on them permanently?<\/strong><br \/>\n*laughs* that\u2019s a tough question. I think it\u2019s the symbol, the O, it\u2019s a cool piece of art, it stands out, I hope it\u2019s because they like the music, maybe the like the fact that music is not stereotyped, it\u2019s free, you never know what\u2019s going to happen.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Essential Information<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>From:<\/strong> Stockholm, Sweden<\/p>\n<p><strong>Band members: <\/strong>Mikael \u00c5kerfeldt &#8211; Vox, guitars, Martin Mendez &#8211; bass, Martin Axenrot &#8211; drums, Fredrik \u00c5kesson &#8211; guitars, Joakim Svalberg &#8211; keys<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website: <\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.opeth.com\/\">http:\/\/www.opeth.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Current release:<\/strong> Heritage (Roadrunner Records)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Catch Opeth with Katatonia in Australia on the following dates:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>TUESDAY 12 MARCH<\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<strong>ADELAIDE, HQ \u2013 18+<\/strong><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oztix.com.au\"><br \/>\nwww.oztix.com.au<\/a>\u00a0 \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.venuetix.com.au\">www.venuetix.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0THURSDAY 14 MARCH<\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<strong>MELBOURNE, THE PALACE \u2013 18+<\/strong><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oztix.com.au\"><br \/>\nwww.oztix.com.au<\/a>\u00a0 \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ticketek.com.au\">www.ticketek.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>FRIDAY 15 MARCH<\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<strong>SYDNEY, ENMORE THEATRE \u2013 Lic A\/A<\/strong><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ticketek.com.au\"><br \/>\nwww.ticketek.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>SATURDAY 16 MARCH<\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<strong>BRISBANE, THE TIVOLI<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ticketek.com.au\">www.ticketek.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Presented by Soundwave Touring<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAt the time he said if it wouldn\u2019t have been for \u2018Heritage\u2019 maybe the band wouldn\u2019t have existed anymore.
