GHOST REVERIES

Opeth can´t write a bad album. They start as a swedish death metal band, and now they are the face of prog music in extreme metal. Well, Sweden is a great cradle of prog metal: Opeth, Meshuggah, Burst, Cult Of Luna..but Opeth are, with no doubt, the greatest prog extreme band in metal. I have all Opeth´s albums, and I always was a fan. Because they always gave me what I want in music: power, melody, prog vibe, nice songs. And if Deliverance was a great strong album with heavy riffs, and Damnation was a beautiful album with some lovely songs, Ghost Reveries is a mix of both. And more..always more. The album starts with a strong vibe and a powerfull riff,and ends with a nice melody. And this is what we love in Opeth: the variety. In Ghost Reveries, when they want to be heavy, they are heavy as hell, when they want to be melodic, they sound like heaven, and they can be all of this in the same song ("Ghost of Perdition"). And to help in this permanent evolution, Per Winberg give some of the most beatiful keyboards in metal. We´re not talking about Stratovarius or Rhapsody keybords..we´re talking about Zeppelin, Purple, Floyd.. Ghost Reveries, is the best Opeth album so far..at least, until their next masterpiece.
