I already have the radio rip. This version will probably be on the net soon too. Good to see/hear that Opeth isn't going "Damnation" on us again.
I'm trying to track down another track, Ghost of Perdition...I'll give you guys the link if it works. And while I LOVED Damnation, I know what you mean...something seems missing with their music when they don't have the heavy/growling death metal aspect to their music. Its that contrast of light and dark that makes them so good. And the radio rip isn't nearly as good of quality as the version on the site, great to hear the subtleties of the keyboards and stuff!
I have also tracked down a leak of the opening track of GR, "Ghost of Perdition", a kick-ass track in the vein of older Opeth releases. I think its a better track than The Grand Conjuration so anybody who digs that track can PM me for the other one B)
Good to see you're still around and talking up Opeth, Odaton. Yes, Damnation was great, but I preferred Still Life. I'm excited for this new album...
