Storm Corrosion 2xLP

Storm Corrosion was a musical collaboration between Mikael Åkerfeldt of Swedish progressive metal band Opeth and Steven Wilson, an English solo artist and frontman of the progressive rock band Porcupine Tree. Åkerfeldt and Wilson began a longstanding musical partnership in 2001 when Wilson produced Opeth's fifth studio album Blackwater Park. The two began writing together for a new project in 2010, releasing their self-titled only studio album in 2012 through Roadrunner Records. A critical success, Storm Corrosion marks a paradigm shift for Åkerfeldt and Wilson. Not wanting the project to be a progressive metal supergroup, the two used it as an opportunity to explore their more esoteric tastes in music, including Comus and Scott Walker. No touring or live performances of the album occurred, nor were any plans for future music established, with the two instead opting to return to their respective other musical projects.

Reissued On Kscope. Available On Gatefold 2LP Orange & Purple Vinyl. Steven Wilson and Mikael Åkerfeldt have been two of the most influential and revered artists of the past 30 years. Responsible for inspiring an entire generation of songwriters and musicians, between them Wilson and Åkerfeldt redefined the prog-metal genre in the early 21st century, chiefly with Opeth's 2001 magnum opus Blackwater Park, which Wilson produced, and Porcupine Tree's 2002 classic In Absentia (the follow up album Deadwing album also featured guest guitar/vocals from Åkerfeldt). With a shared passion for experimenting, the pair have created some of rock's most genre bending music of recent years.
