Storm Corrosion (2012)

Storm Corrosion (2012)

  Storm Corrosion is the collaboration of Porcupine Tree's Steve Wilson and Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt.    Steve worked with Opeth on a few albums and even had them support PT a tour or so ago so It was no surprise that these 2 hooked up finally.
  
  The end result though is something of surprise to all of us out here in Progland.   Instead of an album that is PT meets OPETH we get a very chilled out spacey album that really never gets too heavy or proggy.  Instead we are brought on a musical journey into the dark nebula of a storm corrosion !
  Both Steve and Mikael play a lot of the instruments and of course wrote all the  music.  This was an album that I will admit did take me a few listens before I really got into it.  The last song "Ljudet Innan (10:20) is a stellar number and is a song that is stuck in my head........
