PitCam.TV conducted an interview with vocalist/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt of Swedish progressive metallers OPETH at this year’s edition of the Wacken Open Air festival, which was held August 2-4 in Wacken, Germany. You can now watch the chat below.
Asked whether OPETH has begun work on the follow-up to last year’s “Heritage” album, Mikael replied, “I’ve been writing a little. 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.”

Anyone who’s seen Opeth live knows that frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt is a master of absurdist between-song banter. And in the video below, that’s the side of him that’s showcased, as some crazy fan edited together all his stage commentary from the band’s recent performance in Atlanta on the Heritage Hunter tour with Mastodon and Ghost. Enjoy!
