The September 2011 issue of Germany’s Rock Hard magazine will include a big cover story and world-exclusive live CD by Swedish progressive metallers OPETH that won’t be available at record stores. “The Devil’s Orchard – Live At Rock Hard Festival” is a five-song, 50-minute effort which is described as “an outstanding recording made in 2009” when the band stunned the audience with an awesome performance in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. The CD will also include “The Devil’s Orchard”, the first single from OPETH‘s long-awaited new studio album, “Heritage”.
Commented Rock Hard publisher Holger Stratmann: “OPETH are among the most important contemporary metal bands — and after that extensive U.S. tour, they were really able to strut their stuff. That was certainly one of the best performances ever in the history of our festival.”
“The Devil’s Orchard – Live At Rock Hard Festival” track listing:
01. Heir Apparent
01. Ghost Of Perdition
01. The Leper Affinity

Man, have we got a lot of Opeth news for you today! You can pre-order the super-deluxe boxed set version of their new album Heritage. And you can hear the first song from it today, too!
Stereogum.com has the exclusive premiere of “The Devil’s Orchard,” an epic track that gives a major hint as to the change in sound Opeth have undergone on Heritage (hint: more prog, much less death). This is an amazing record, and this track really only scratches the surface of its awesomeness, but here it is, so go check it out.
