Storm Corrosion [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

"Storm Corrosion" was a musical collaboration between Mikael Ã…kerfeldt of Swedish progressive metal band Opeth and Steven Wilson, an English solo artist and frontman of the progressive rock band Porcupine Tree. Ã…kerfeldt and Wilson began a longstanding musical partnership in 2001 when Wilson produced Opeth's fifth studio album "Blackwater Park". The two began writing together for a new project in 2010, releasing their self-titled only studio album in 2012 through Roadrunner Records. A critical success, "Storm Corrosion" marks a paradigm shift for Ã…kerfeldt and Wilson. Not wanting the project to be a progressive metal supergroup, the two used it as an opportunity to explore their more esoteric tastes in music, including Comus and Scott Walker. No touring or live performances of the album occurred, nor were any plans for future music established, with the two instead opting to return to their respective other musical projects.
