Review: Storm Corrosion – Storm Corrosion

David McKenna — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 20:53:05 +0000

Storm Corrosion is the long-awaited collaborative project from Porcupine Tree’s Steven Wilson and Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt—but you might not guess it from listening to this debut album. Rather than playing the progressive metal associated with those bands, the duo crafts dark, cinematic orchestral music closer to the experimentation of Univers Zero or Scott Walker. Perhaps the strongest track is “Lock Howl,” an odd folk song that sounds dreamy and dreary. Many Opeth and Porcupine Trees may be disappointed with the lack of heavy riffage, but those with open minds will find much to enjoy in this dense, atmospheric album. DAVID McKENNA

Storm Corrosion, the new project between Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt and Porcupine Tree’s Steven Wilson, has announced they expect their debut album to drop in April 2012. Recording for the self-titled record has already been completed and will be released through Roadrunner.

A post on Opeth’s website stated that “This album could be seen as the final part in the odd trilogy of records completed by Heritage and Steven Wilson’s brand new solo album Grace For Drowning.”

Wilson has previously expounded that the project’s music will be different from what both members have done previously in their respective prog-metal bands.
