LOST ALL TO SAVE A LITTLE

Album Rating: 5.0

The riff that hits during that section is one of their best.

"There's a certain detail seen here
The pen must have slipped to the side
And left a stain
Next to his name
She knows he's gone"

lmao absolute gold. don't know if Mikael was for real or just trolling here

Isolation Years is a top 10 Opeth track

It's beautiful, wish it was longer though!

Yeah, but it hits just right as a closer after such an intense song like Grand Conjuration

Mikael's cleans could melt even the coldest of hearts.

And yet his growls sound like the spawn of hell :D And that juxtaposition is why he rules so much! (Well, that and the songwriting, guitar skills, etc.)

Album Rating: 5.0

Will go down as one of metal's greatest songwriters, so influential as well.

And yet he's such a comedian at shows too! And just seems like such a down-to-earth guy, unlike a certain prog musician he often collaborates with...

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah, he's a very goofy guy but incredibly humble as well.



Would be nice to see them make just one more metal album, though.



Not even bothered about the growls tbh, they could go down the Katatonia route.

I haven't lost faith in it happening, tbh. Sorceress and Cauda had plenty of heavy moments despite the 70s influence, and the latter was the heaviest they'd made since Watershed. I have a feeling the next album might bring them a little closer to their older sound. But I guess we'll see what happens

You never know with Mikael, I'm not expecting death metal anymore but hopefully the circumstances of the past year will light a fire under them!



The riffs may return...

Album Rating: 5.0

Sooooo, it's been two full years... Where album?

Album Rating: 5.0

They normally operate on a 3 year cycle nowadays, minus Sorceress.



Maybe next year?

Album Rating: 5.0

Yes, that would be great! I hope I also get to catch the XXX anniversary that went down the drain last year due to Covid. I mean, who wouldn't want to witness Opeth in an XXX context?

For the Mikael Akerfeldt XXX title: "Hot brunette can't stop screaming"
