SWNews

Storm Corrosion was an album made by myself and Mikael Åkerfeldt of the band Opeth in 2012, and one which both of us considered a deeply satisfying artistic success. It remains one of my favourite releases in my whole catalogue. Part of what made it so much fun was that pretty much anything that either of us suggested, the other … Read More
