Per was pretty much my idol, all that hair, headbanging to keyboard riffs. This saddens me, but, the show must go on! (Unless you are the Rolling Stones... then stop).

At least he recorded his parts before leaving.

Sad news. I'm hoping the new keyboardist can sing harmonies live, Per had a good voice with good control. Opeth NEED their harmonies live.

Hmm... Usually I hate new line ups, I didn't think Watershed lived up to their previous material but who knows, my favorite Yes album is Relayer

Fredrik sings backing vocals live as well, so there's still going to be harmonies. 

But this is very meh. I loved Wiberg's contributions especially on Watershed. But perhaps something good will eventually come out of this.
It's on PA!

While I am a touch sad to see Per go, I am not at all surprised that he left, given the fact that the band is Akerfeldt's project in reality.

+1. His solo on "Burden" was awesome.

Excellent news. Hopefully the rest of these farcical jokers will give up the charade and leave music to the pre-89 pros.

Opeth has become a revolving door soap opera of late. I loved their work on Watershed, and I am sad to see Per leave, but at the same time, I am excited to see what they do next.

It has been a Mikael Akerfeldt Experience (feat. guests) for a while now, though, so I am not entirely surprised at this latest personnel change. 
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...
