Here's some detail on the upcoming multichannel release of Opeth's "Heritage". Their appearance at last weeken's "HeavyTO" festival surpassed the headliners of Rob Zombie, Anthrax, Megadeth and Motorhead. Now then...when and where is the Steven Wilson-Mikael Akkerfeldt-Mike Portnoy super project Storm Corrosion?.....?
Opeth has spent over two decades steadily amassing a body of work that is at once possessed of a fervent and unrelenting devotion to aesthetic progression (and perfection) while simultaneously scaling the summits of power, mysticism and might aspired to by the group's hard rock forefathers in Sabbath, Purple and Zeppelin.
The band's roots in the doom-laden shade of occult-infused Scandinavian death metal and dark romanticism are undeniable and will never elicit apology. But the transcendent emotional and melodic heights achieved on the brilliantly titled tenth full length Opeth album, Heritage, marks a new chapter in the storied quintet's career. Band leader, singer, guitarist, songwriter and long-running consistent member Mikael Åkerfeldt has reshaped the pathway forward for his artistic vehicle without sacrificing the hard won spiritualism of previous endeavors
