Opeth Reveal UK Tour Plans

06/19/2014
. (Prog) Opeth have finally confirmed their UK dates in support of 11th album Pale Communion - they'll return to the UK for six shows in October. The band last week drew ire from British fans who thought they'd been left out of European plans.

But keyboardist Joakin Svalberg said: "Hold yer horses! More dates to be announced real soon. Big festivals usually have clauses in their contracts, stating no shows nearby are to be announced until the festival happens."

The festival in question was Download, which Opeth played at the weekend. At the Donington event mainman Mikael Akerfeldt admitted there was no big meaning behind the album name, saying: "It's kind of difficult to come up with album titles," he reports. "I want them to sound cool and look cool and fit in with my lyrics. I was going through my lyrics and it felt like a fitting title for me, but it doesn't really mean anything." more on this story
