Opeth Happy With Change In Direction

. (TeamRock Radio) Opeth's Fredrik Akesson says it's 'cool' that the band were able to change their sound as not many groups are able to do the same. He joined the band in 2008 during the writing process of Watershed which featured Mikael Akerfeldt's screaming vocals. And he says while he was happy to play their old style of music, he's proud of the way their sound has evolved.

He tells Guided By Metal: "I got to do the death metal thing before the change. But when we took that decision to change it up a bit on Heritage, it took me a while to get used to. But I think it was a cool thing that we did that, because it's kind of bold.

"Not many bands can experiment as much as we do, and we're a bit fortunate in that way." And Akesson responds to those who have criticized their decision to change their sound. Read more here.
