Opeth‘s new studio album “The Last Will And Testament” has been met with a delay of several weeks due to manufacturing issues. A statement issued by the band’s vocalist/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt on the matter reads as follows:
“We strive to deliver the highest quality product possible, and to achieve that, we need a bit more time to ensure the final release meets our standards. We understand this may come as a disappointment, but we sincerely appreciate your patience and continued support. We can’t wait to share this new music with you, and we are confident it will be worth the wait.”
Originally scheduled for October 11th, that fourteenth studio album from the group will arrive on November 22nd. The first few legs of touring in support of the record will run as follows.
