Opeth ~ Watershed

Opeth, Watershed LP Opeth has managed to successfully create a real work of art on Watershed. The death metal band from Sweden took the anticipation of their album to heart and went to the lab to produce something far better than I think anyone could’ve anticipated.

The melodies, the patience and stoicism of every track makes progressive death metal my favourite niche genre. Opeth flawlessly produces a bounty of diverse sounds.

Best tracks include Coil, Burden and Heir Apparent.
