Metal-Trails.com conducted an interview with drummer Martin “Axe” Axenrot of Swedish progressive metallers OPETH at this year’s Wacken Open Air festival, which took place August 2-4 in Wacken, Germany. You can now watch the chat below.
In an interview with PitCam.TV conducted at Wacken, OPETH vocalist/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt was asked whether the band had begun work on the follow-up to last year’s “Heritage” album. “I’ve been writing a little,” Mikael replied. “I’m going on a trip soon — next week — on my own, actually, which I’ve never done before. I’m gonna bring the guitar and write some stuff, hopefully. But I think we’re still touring, and we still have another European tour coming up in the fall. And that kind of prevents me from getting too into the work — the creative process. I’m gonna start writing more from real once we finish the tour. ‘Cause I don’t have much.”
