When Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth) and Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree, solo) joined forces for Storm Corrosion, many thought it would result in premium-grade metal. After all, Wilson contributed production to Opeth's seminal Blackwater Park (2001). However, the resulting self-titled LP ended up being a playground for pastoral atmospherics and 100% free of blast beats. Fans either adored it or brushed it off as self-indulgent strangeness.
Well, there’s another release coming, after years of speculation. Wilson took to Instagram with a picture of both men in the studio on May 31, along with the caption "Storm Corrosion 2, Stockholm, May 2026" – see below.
There’s no more news as of now, but count this Opeth/Wilson fan among the very, very excited.
