Yes, this is excellent news! I'm not sure what to think of Steven Wilson not producing this next album, though -- I really liked his work on BWP, Damnation, and Deliverance... but those albums were sort of missing a little bit of the magic that was present on Still Life and MAYH. Let's hope they can recapture some of that rawness with a return to self-producing, but still keep the polished sound they have on the later albums. This might be a complete contradiction, but it makes sense... in my mind.
Oh, and grendel: Definitly check Opeth out. If you're already into metal (and can at least tolerate growls), then pretty much anywhere is a good place to start. If not, then start with the album Damnation, which is their all melodic/progrock type album.
