> OPETH TO SWEDISH ROCK
With a groundbreaking hybrid of death metal and progressive rock with a 70s flavour, Opeth from Stockholm rank among the most influential and exciting metal bands of our time - and not only the Swedish ones.
The band debuted with Orchid in 1995, but it wasn't until their fifth album Blackwater Park (2001) was released that they got their true break. Since then they have released another four studio albums, each more successful than its predecessor - with the latest one, Watershed (2008), even the American audience started to take serious notice of Opeth.
In their home-country, and among progressive listeners in general, Mikael Åkerfeldt & Co are without a doubt one of the hottest bands around at the moment, and it's more than just a guess that their appearance at SRF will draw a very, very large crowd.

> MUNICIPAL WASTE TOUR DATES
Municipal Waste front man Tony Foresta comments: "I'm really pumped that we're coming back over to do a proper Massive Aggressive tour in Europe. I'm also very excited to be bringing a band like Victims with us. We've been trying to tour with them for a while and it's great that it worked out for this run. From the shows we have played together with them in the past, I feel that the Waste and Victims are a pretty lethal combination. Expect a lot of new songs in the set as well as a heap of old surprises. Looking forward to this one. See you soon!"
