Sept 21st, according to the above blurb.

Seems like a nice little set... doubt it is priced for me to buy, though.

i'm actually a fan of that cover. branches away from the typical "metal logo dark photo", which is refreshing.

the design is great. though opeth being disharmonic in a music theoretical way would be new. maybe they had a bad night.
