Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson and Mikael ?kerfeldt from Opeth have set Storm Corrosion as the working album title of their much-anticipated collaboration project.

In a brand new interview with U.K.'s Classic Rock, ?kerfeldt revealed that the writing process for the CD is now well under way. "I got together recently with Steven at his house, and we wrote a new tune straight away," says ?kerfeldt. "Of course, with the two of us involved, it was 10 minutes long. And it came out so well that we started working on a second one as well."



Although Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy was initially supposed to be part of the project, it now appears that he will no longer be involved. "To be honest, there's just no room for drums on what we've done so far. I called Mike up, and he was cool about it. He's got so much going on anyway, and I'm sure we will work together in the future."

Regarding the overall musical direction of Storm Corrosion, Wilson wrote in a recent Twitter posting, "Don't expect any metal on this one."
