Opeth
Blackwater Park
MUSIC FOR NATIONS
Scandinavian prog-metal eclecticists’ flagship statement reissued.
If ever a record highlighted new horizons for heavy music, it was Blackwater Park, Opeth’s fifth album. The Swedes had been incorporating increasingly contrasting shades of light and dark into their once none-moreblack metal sound, to the point where Blackwater Park sometimes sounded like three or four different bands taking turns on the same record.
