During an interview with Classic Rock, Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth) revealed that we like to work on another Storm Corrosion album. However, his bandmate Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) has yet to “buy into [his] suggestion.”
Åkerfeldt said the following:
“Me and Steve have been talking about that. I went to see Steven in London to talk and to drink [laughs]. There is a reissue of that album coming out, and Steven has done a new Atmos mix. So I pitched the idea of a possible next record from Storm Corrosion. He didn’t really buy into my suggestion. That’s a shame.”
He continued when asked why Wilson didn’t seem completely open to the idea:
“Steve doesn’t want to send music [over the internet]. He prefers us to make it together in the same room. But I’ll bring it up again, and I’m sure we’ll do something new. Should it happen, I would like us to do a requiem, something completely overblown.”
On another note, Åkerfeldt also addressed previous reports suggesting that Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) would be appearing on Opeth’s new album:
“I’m under instruction to keep things under wraps, so I’ll keep things extremely vague. I have been in touch with Ian Anderson about something. Emails were exchanged, containing something that could be described as music. Is that a good answer?”
