I know I'll be the only one on this board geeking out about this, but Opeth just announced their new album, tour and first single for the album The Last Will and Testament. And holy shit, THE GROWLS ARE BACK.

It's been like 15 years since Akerfeldt dropped the death metal and went 70s prog. And while I like what they've produced since then, it's got nothing on the old stuff. The light/day, dynamic sounds they used to produce have been sorely missing. I have no idea if this is just a one-off for the first single (it's also the first track), but the metal internet is blowing up about the new song.

It's a concept album set in post-WWI era, unfolding the story of a wealthy, conservative patriarch whose last will and testament reveals shocking family secrets. Bring it on!

So anyway... my wife thought I was fucking nuts, and I felt like giving her some company by having the rest of you think the same.
