OPETH vocalist, Mikael Åkerfeldt, has returned as vocalist for Swedish death metal supergroup BLOODBATH.

The following statement was released:

“So the time has come for Bloodbath to once again poison the scene with a contagious doze of über brutal death metal. An old acquaintance in this zombified bloodline has once again re-visited his old home. We can now announce that the vocalist on the new mini-CD is none other than Mikael Åkerfeldt courtesy of Opeth.

“Second deathster to join the elite is Mr. Per ‘Sodomizer’ Eriksson (ex-21 Lucifers, ex-Genocrusg Ferox). Sodomizer’s brutal death metal songwriting approach as well as guitar shredding is a highly welcomed element in the legacy of Bloodbath.”

The current line up stands at:

Mikael Åkerfeldt - Vocals
Anders “Blakkheim” Nyström - Guitar
Per “Sodomizer” Eriksson - Guitar
Jonas Renkse - Bass
Martin “Axe” Axenrot – Drums
