Note: The above-listed dates have not yet been confirmed by OPETH and should be treated as a rumor only at this point.

Mikael Åkerfeldt (vocals, guitar) and Fredrik Åkesson (guitar) of OPETH were recently interviewed by "Whiplash", a weekly metal show on Belgian national radio Studio Brussel, hosted by AFTER ALL guitarist Dries Van Damme. Listen to the chat in streaming audio in two parts: Part#1, Part#2.

OPETH was recently forced to cancel its appearances at the Peace & Love (Borlänge, Sweden on June 26), Hovefestivalen (Norway on June 27), Metaltown (Gothenborg, Sweden on June 28), and Graspop Metal Meeting (Dessel, Belgium on June 29) festivals after Mikael Åkerfeldt contracted varicella (chicken pox).

"Watershed", the new album from OPETH, sold more than 19,000 copies of in the United States in its first week of release.

"Watershed" is the follow-up to the band's acclaimed "Ghost Reveries" CD, which debuted at No. 64 on the Billboard chart back in September 2005 with first-week sales of just under 15,000. OPETH's 2003 album, "Damnation", opened with a little over 5,000 copies.

"Ghost Reveries" has sold more than 95,000 copes in the United States since its 2005 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

	These are RUMORED dates. There is no saying they won't hit your city. And even if they don't, so what? Just make a road trip. I swear, all people do on this site is bitch and whine when a band doesn't tour close to them. God forbid you actually have to get in the car and drive!

	TOUR OF THE FUCKING CENTURY. HOLY SHIT.

	I spoke to the bass player of High on Fire on a Gigantour stop. He did tell me that they were coming back in the fall with Opeth. I missed them at Gigantour but I'm so there for this tour.

Enjoy the show

	YES

	COMMENT \| Orlando posted by : Witchfinder General 7/8/2008 2:31:20 PM

	The Orlando show has been listed on the House Of Blues website for 2 weeks now, tix on sale July 19th. Just saw Opeth for the 4th time in May with Dream Theater, can't wait to see them again...and High On Fire rock live, Matt Pike is awesome.

	COMMENT \| posted by : Deth 7/8/2008 2:41:15 PM

	Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe, just maybe, you have to miss a tour now and then??? GASP I live in Columbus, OH and we get some decent shows now and then, but most go to Cleveland. Guess what, I don't drive there if I have to work the next morning. I don't need to see every single tour of every single band I like...I'd be broke. I was in Kuwait for almost 15 months and missed a lot of good shows. It sucked but I lived. So stop your complaining, if you miss it you miss it. It's not like your life is going to end if you don't see the almighty Opeth. Besides, IMHO, Opeth is the only decent band on this bill.

	COMMENT \| There's a recent trend I'm seeing.... posted by : OdensOnMySide 7/8/2008 2:54:24 PM

	There are a lot of tours I want to see that are skipping Detroit. I hope one of these unconfirmed dates brings this one through here. I might have to drive to Cleveland.

	COMMENT \| alright posted by : metaljohn99 7/8/2008 2:56:28 PM

	COMMENT \| HMMM... posted by : carcrash 7/8/2008 3:23:18 PM

	How is Opeth Live? i didnt see them last tour and now im curious on seeing them this time around

	COMMENT \| C'mon please come to MN posted by : chocolate covered testicles 7/8/2008 3:58:48 PM

	looks like theres a chance after milwaukee, for a weekend show in MN that would be the shit!! Sept 27 or 28 *fingers crossed If you want to see a band that bad just carpool with buds split the gas and fucking drive, if your too pussy to do that, than maybe you shouldn't bitch at all, just wait till 4 years till the next headlining show...NOT. Amon Amarth, Opeth, The Haunted, and Gojira are going to own the fall of 2008!!! Probably all gonna be touring within 2 months of each other!!

	you're all so much more "metal" than me because I wont drive from NYC to Buffalo. Wow, sorry I have a job do you?

	COMMENT \| ^^ps posted by : mywar138 7/8/2008 7:10:18 PM

	wasnt trying to offend anyone either who live in more rural parts of the US. And yes I realize that NY is not as big as Texas or some other states, but its a long enough drive for me. All I was doing was expressing the fact that this tour looks great, I would love to go and hoping it was coming to NYC. Just cant deal with the gas prices for a trip like that, I got a mortgage to pay.
