Opeth returns to America for Fall tour

By Alex Young on August 8th, 2008

In support of their recently released ninth studio album, Watershed, Swedish metal rockers Opeth will be taking a trip across the Atlantic come this September for a two-month North American headlining tour.

Opeth enjoyed the main support slot on the first ever Progressive Nation Tour last spring, opening for labelmates Dream Theater. The band spent the summer on the European tour circuit but is thrilled to be bring its always unique blend of death/folk/prog metal back to American audiences this fall.

Nachtmystium will open the first half of the tour, with Baroness taking over that slot on October 6.
