So, Opeth has a new album coming out titled Watershed, due the 3rd of June. If you don’t know who Opeth is, go look em up on Youtube or imeem. If you’re a metal fan, and you don’t like Opeth, you deserve a backhanding. Opeth is one of the few great innovators of metal. Hailing from the land of melodic death metal mediocrity (Sweden if you haven’t figured that out yet), Opeth combine their breed of Scandinavian Death Metal with elements of almost every other genre of music, including jazz, fusion, progressive, and many more. Luckily they haven’t done country or rap yet. And frontman Mikael Akerfeldt switches from clean singing to growls many times per song, but it doesn’t feel one bit disjointed. Like bands such as Type O Negative, most of their songs clock in in at 7 min+, and are essentially 2 or 3 songs rolled into one. But needless to say they are without a doubt one of the most interesting metal bands of our time. The download track off of Roadrunner’s site, download it, listen to it, love it, by the new album. MP3 is on this page.
