Join us as we sit down with Opeth guitarist Fred Akesson for a great discussion about their meticulous approach to their new album, "The Last Will and Testament." From carefully obsessing over vinyl pressings, to adapting their complex songwriting to modern listening habits, Fred offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of one of progressive metal's most revered acts. Prepare for insights on concept albums, audience reactions, and even a bit vampiric secrets about their new drummer.
