Steven Wilson and Mikael Åkerfeldt have been two of the most influential and revered artists of the past 30 years. Responsible for inspiring an entire generation of songwriters and musicians, between them Wilson and Åkerfeldt redefined the prog-metal genre in the early 21st century, chiefly with Opeth's 2001 magnum opus Blackwater Park, which Wilson produced and Porcupine Tree's 2002 classic In Absentia (the follow up album Deadwing album also featured guest guitar/vocals from Åkerfeldt). With a shared passion for experimenting, the pair have created some of rock's most genre bending music of recent years. Amongst that list is their 2012 eponymous debut collaboration Storm Corrosion. A passion project recorded at Wilson's No Man's Land studio in Hertfordshire, Storm Corrosion surprised fans by serving as a vehicle for the pair to explore their shared love of experimental folk, soundtrack music and the avant-garde, not to mention a nod to their love of artists like Scott Walker, Talk Talk and Ennio Morricone. Over Storm Corrosion's 6-track, 48-minute odyssey, listeners are taken through a beautifully sparse, contemplative universe. Åkerfeldt's deft guitar work embellishes Wilson's keyboards and hand percussion, Ben Castle's earthy woodwinds, the occasional drumming of Porcupine Tree's Gavin Harrison and strings from the London Session Orchestra, whilst the duo share vocal duties. This edition of Storm Corrosion includes as a bonus track the live recording of 'Drag Ropes' from The Royal Albert Hall in 2015.
