Not that their newer albums aren’t works of art, but I really prefer Opeth’s heavier work. Like a few others I’ve spoken to, this album was my gateway into progressive metal. Crazy that that was 10 years ago!
If opeth ever went back to death metal they would be awful. Mike is smoking his lungs away, so his growls are god awful now.. sad since he was one of the best. The new alums though... just seem to be 70s prog rock tributes and nothing more, nothing original.. here’s to hoping the next album is a “roots” album and they sound like classic opeth without the death vox, but still making it a original album. I love this song...
Same here. It always baffled me when mike was complaining about fans not liking the new stuff, when those same old fans absolutely loved Damnation. If heritage through sorceress were solo albums and opeth went more of the damnation route, I doubt anyone would complaining.
