OPETH: STATEMENT ON HERITAGE TOUR

Swedish progressive death metal legends OPETH have sent this statement as the band has come to closure of the "Heritage" touring cycle.

OPETH just finished a NORTH AMERICAN tour with KATATONIA and after a few summer 2013 EUROPEAN festivals, the band will return to the studio to record their next opus.

OPETH unleashed "Heritage" (progressive rock/clean vocals) 9/14/2011 via ROADRUNNER RECORDS.




FROM OPETH:
"Hi!
Well, we just got back home after over 200 shows in support of "Heritage". It's been a fantastic experience with many odd, great, wonderful memories. Our collective brains have a lot to take in. We want to say thanks for all your support. We've had an amazing run, travelling around the globe multiple times to play for you guys. Ah, the memories. We've played in the Maldives in front of a muslim crowd. Saw women in niqab's and burqha's headbanding to "Deliverance". Played in what looked like a rainforest fortress in Singapore. Almost got caught in the recent Oklahoma tornados. Got snowed in in Sweden of all places. Hit my head in a bus in Minneapolis and cancelled (gasp!) a show. Stadium rock in Helsinki. 2 runs in Australia, 2 runs in Japan. The amazing response in South America. Fucking great response pretty much everywhere. Mastodon, Ghost, Katatonia thank you! Hecklers & Obsessive fans shoulder to shoulder. Lovely North America taking such good care of us. Europe, Scandinavia took us once again under its wing. Getting pretentios now! I'll stop! Just want to say THANK YOU! From us...Opeth!"


Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
