February 16, 2009, 15 years ago
OPETH's Mikael Åkerfeldt has issued the following update:
"We're in Tampere, Finland right now and things are just hunky dory! Played Helsinki last night and it was a blast. Felt good to come back and play a nice show there since we had to cancel the last time due to me losing my voice. Cheers guys! We love ya! Finland is THE metal country in the world, no question about it!On top of everything else we have ENTOMBED out with us for this Finn shows! I have loved them ever since the demo days of NIHILIST, so it's nothing short of amazing to have them with us here. Cool people, but we knew that already.
Our touring schedule is insane! We just semi-confirmed another Euro tour for later this year which will be real nice. We've got South America, Russia, Dubai and all sorts of gigs coming up. Not to mention the North American tour with Enslaved of course. I guess we'll all be drooling freaks by the end of this run....
Got the final mix of the OSI track 'Stockholm' which sounded real nice. Love it actually!!
Anyways, Mendez just farted here so I can't stay, cause I'll die if I do..."
