Steven Wilson Announces Requiem For A Village Due November 6

Steven Wilson's third solo album in three years, Requiem For A Village, is about to be released. The album is released on November 6.

Storm Corrosion is the collaboration between Steven Wilson and Opeth's Mikael Åkerfeldt, whose sole self-titled album was released in 2012. Wilson and Åkerfeldt rented a studio owned by Benny Andersson of Abba to begin work on the Storm Corrosion follow-up.

The duo spent a week in Stockholm earlier this year and created a 45-minute framework. The Storm Corrosion piece is almost entirely acoustic but very dark, atonal in places and beautiful in places.

Vocal tracking for the Storm Corrosion piece had not yet been done. Wilson and Andy Partridge have talked about a sequel to Requiem For A Village.

Porcupine Tree songs have been written but the project is a long way from an album's worth, so it could be years. Wilson and Tim Bowness have sketched out a double album's worth of No-Man material over the last couple of years.
