Between the acoustic pieces like harvest and patterns in the ivy, and the death metal like the leper affinity and the title track, the bands demonstrates the finest available examples of progressive infusion in death metal. The use of full chords in death metal songs is rare, and Opeth executes it perfectly on the title track. Akerfeldt's lyricism is top notch, describing a protagonist looking in on a world of horrors, denying responsibility, until inevitably joining the throng. The Leper Afffinity describes taboo acts any reasonable person considers abhorrent, but that only adds the the atmosphere. This band did not set out to create a happy album. This music is dark, crushingly so, and executed without fault. I highky reccomend.
