Has anyone heard the new Opeth album? What do you think of it?

This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State.

I have it and enjoy it. I bought the Blu-Ray digipack edition.

If you liked Heritage, I think this one is better although similar in style. If you long for the death metal growls and disliked Heritage, pass on this one.

I liked Pale Comunion very much. I did like Heritage, but I like Pale Comunion better, it's kind of more focused. However, I do think that some people who might have been disapointed with Heritage might find this new one more enjoyable (specially for anyone who might have liked the idea of Heritage but found the end result like a wasted oportunity).

Morte Macabre is not what you'd think. It's folks from Anekdoten and Dungen joining forces, playing old horror movie scores with a bootful of mellotron. Very very beautiful album. It's called Symphonic Holocaust. Safe to say, if you dig either symph or the mellotron, you'd better run to the nearest shop and throw money at it.

Ahh you're quite welcome Sonia. Always a pleasure. I never tire of advertising this little gem anyway....and to think I went ahead and posted my least favourite tune on the album LOL

Shame on me.

Check out Quiet Drops instead. This one is soooo damn beautiful and velvety:

In keeping with the Swedish theme and indeed one of the players on that Morte Macabre album, then how about some spine-chillingly beautiful guitar sorcery from the man himself: Reine Fiske Heart

I love this guy. I really do. He's like the perfect hybrid of David Gilmour and Jimi Hendrix.
