Storm Corrosion - Fan Q&A - What You're Listening To

Storm Corrosion is a collaboration between two of the modern era's greatest and most revered artists -- Steven Wilson, prolific sonic polymath and frontman with UK prog standard bearers Porcupine Tree and Mikael Åkerfeldt, leader and chief creative driving force for Swedish progressive metal legends Opeth. In the clip above they answer fans questions about the upcoming album.

If it weren't for the fact that Mikael was married and had two kids it would completely seem like these two are a couple.

omg i fucking love that tho 😭

2:22 Mikael's face when Steven says he's listening to Opeth though 😂

[@QuickQuackReviews]

Never seen Steven Wilson this cheeky and sarcastic. And I love Åkerfeldt for admitting that he has guilty pleasure pop music - lol the confusion in Wilson’s face.

[@blppt]

Honestly, Mikael has always admitted his love for pop---he's even admitted to being an ABBA fan.

The mixing on Heritage is pretty damn good though haha; easily my favorite mix of any Opeth record.

these two get on very well together. i am beginning to get used to and really like MA's voice.

Although I've been an Opeth and P.Tree fan for maybe ten years now, it was actually September that brought me here. Kind of sad Mikael nearly equated her to JB - she's incredible.

I hated this record at first, like an idiot I was expecting opeth meets porcupine tree. I was only a teenager so forgive me lol I brought it, sold it then re brought it I have to say now it’s my favourite record the pair of them have released I constantly go back to it and never get bored of it An absolute masterpiece thank you for not giving us what we expected and exceeding everyone’s expectations

[@rip_lokum]

holly shit, I couldn't believe my ears... he sounded as serious as it gets. :)

[@viridianloom]

They need to listen to Kayo Dot! They share some similarities with Storm Corrosion. and if they do another album they should collaborate with Toby Driver on a track!

[@GodheadsDamnation]

You guys just made my day :)

[@nhonho23]

He is not having problems with growling beyond not being interested in death metal anymore. Plus, Opeth is playing old songs with growls again.

it's funny because steve mixed heritage

[@deathoftheendless001]

1:02 so this might be the reason why Steven Wilson made tfb, because Mikael listens to dance pop music lol Yes this is a joke

And the health fanatics are crawling out of their caves again, just because he lights up a cigarette. Ever heard about Rock 'n' Roll? Rock 'n' Roll is not supposed to be healthy all the time. But I guess, these are the times nowadays - terrible... So he smokes, so fucking what?! By the way he has always been smoking and it never affected on his growling. If you got the right technique it doesn't affect on that.
