I like certain songs off Orchid, but quite frankly the songwriting is very immature and borders on being incoherent on that record. Every time I listen to it, I think while the songs have individually cool sections, the sections do not belong together.

This type of criticism is common in regards of Orchid, but I can't seem to relate to it. Personally, I find Orchid as a perfect, coherent, and sincere expression of art. It's a wild beast, as opposed to their later albums that progressively (no pun intended) became more tame.

Has this song been mentioned here yet? I wonder if Heritage will be stylistically similar to this.

Probably not because it has electric guitars and we all know electric guitars = extreme raw brutal death metal.

I hope not. I don't think it's a bad song, but it doesn't live up to the Opeth standard in my eyes... or to my ears, whatever makes more sense.

Hmm, that song does seem out of place/old, regarding in the current of their music.

I love Orchid.
Deff in my top 5 Opeth albums, possibly #3!

I have no clue why so many don't seem to know it/don't like it. I love how raw it is.

it will only make you sick if it is rotten / contaminated.

On the other hand, if metal is rotten / contaminated it is awesome, so I believe metal takes this one.
