Artist: Opeth | Album: Watershed | Released: 2008 | Genre: Metal

Opeth is finely balanced on the border of aggression and some melancholic feelings, their music makes you think, it leaves a deep imprint on the soul, in this case primarily through such phenomenal and multifaceted creation as "Heir Apparent", enriched with a variety of melodies and emphasizing the fact that these the guys to the number of leading avant-garde, post Blackers, on the world heavy stage, an intricate definition of stylistics, but precisely from the mixing of these trends, as well as psychedelic-rock, and the music of Opeth is built. It is this skillful mixture of not the most popular styles, due to its complexity, and makes this team one of a kind, and maybe there are not so many fans as, say, consumer goods like In Flames, but I am sure that they are more thoughtful and grateful listeners. . In addition to the marked track, I would very much like to highlight "Burden" and "Porcelain Heart", delightful and extraordinary songs permanently deposited in memory. I will only add that this is real music, and I have already put the assessment of the album in absentia, because Opeth is more likely not to record anything than to release something for reporting to the audience. This work will certainly be included in the annals of the avant-garde, although they are credited with more progressive death, with which I strongly disagree, because in their albums it is more the mixture of avant-garde and post black. But on the other hand, why are these disputes, because for those who love Opeth no matter how they characterize their music, it is important that they like it.
