peccatum
3 stars What?!??!? Opeth abandoned their death metal roots and the result is a consistent and beautiful album. Mikael has always been clean his 70's prog rock influence, and it was observed in his music. But I never thought that a Opeth's album would sound like a 70's album. Of course, despite the claim of Heritage sounds like a 70's album it's a little different and keep some characteristics of old Opeth's album. The opening song is a beauty, dark piano intro. It's important to note the extensive use of keyboards that occur in practically all tracks. In addition, I highlight the great work of Martin Axenrot. I Feel the Dark was the first song that I loved cause I thought the vocal harmonies so beautiful. After a brake, the song turns dense, obscure and typically an Opeth's song. So, Slither is a hard rock music and is quite different from the another songs. I'll not comment every song. I couldn't fail to mention the presence of flute in the music Famine, good surprise. Very interesting album!
