Storm Corrosion, ett nytt musikaliskt projekt med Opeths Mikael Åkerfeldt och Porcupine Trees Steven Wilson. De båda träffades mellan 1995-1996, tack vare att båda gillade varandras musik och idén till Storm Corrosion kläcktes. De följande åren producerade Wilson Opeths (bästa?) album "Blackwater Park" (2001), "Deliverance" (2002) och "Damnation" (2003). Mikael hjälpte i sin tur Wilson med vokaler och gitarrspel på Porcupine Trees album "Deadwing" (2005). I år var det alltså dags för de båda att göra något tillsammans utan sina band, och det självbetitlade albumet "Storm Corrosion" släpps senare i år. De som har förväntat sig att det ska låta som Opeth, eller som Porcupine Tree för den delen har fel.

Ett citat från Wilson angående projektet:

Because I think we both had this idea of this kind of music that we knew we couldn't get our bands to play, but that we both kind of understood where we were coming from. 'Cause we have this kind of passion: very experimental, obscure records, almost orchestral in their scope. And we wanted to make a record like that for a long time. It's a long way from metal and it's a long way from anything that, I think, Mikael has ever done, including [Opeth's] Damnation record. I think a lot of people thought, 'Oh, it's gonna be like Damnation.' It's not; it's a long way from that, too. And it's actually a long way from anything I've done…The one thing we didn't wanna do is get together and do a prog-metal supergroup, which would have been so easy to do — and kind of expected, in a way. And, you know, we might do that anyway one day. But this time around, we thought, 'Let's just do this record.' Some people will love it and some people will not, and that's OK, because, in a way, I don't think we wanted to just give what was expected, and we're certainly not doing that.
