Two decades later, it's still a stunning work: Opeth's magnum opus "Blackwater Park" is full of extraordinary melodic moments, eerie atmosphere and a brisk but crushing heaviness. With this work, the Swedish metallers kicked down the frilly door of prog, fed death metal with a cosmic kaleidoscope and introduced a generation of music connoisseurs to a world of limitless musical possibilities. The reissue on Music For Nations will be lovingly pressed on heavy audiophile vinyl, in a variety of deluxe options and in a gatefold sleeve with updated liner notes and acknowledgements. The deluxe versions, including the hardcover CD, include an updated booklet with new liner notes, previously unpublished memories of the band, and exclusive content provided by the Opeth fan community. It remains a must-have for Opeth enthusiasts, completists and casual listeners alike. In many ways, Opeth's "Blackwater Park" can be considered their answer to The Beatles' "Revolver," both albums uncompromising and experimental, but equally commercially viable and unsurpassed masterpieces. Mikael Åkerfeldt comments, "I know that Blackwater Park was a stepping stone to professionalism for us. Since then the band has taken up all our time and we have never looked back. We've always moved forward. It's well known that Steven Wilson came in to produce the album, and that was the beginning of a lifelong friendship. I think our songs were different from what most other bands were doing at the time, but the production definitely set us apart from the rest. Steven helped bring out the real strength of the band, which was and still is our versatility." After four albums of imaginative and infectious heavy music, the band was ready to make a career-defining statement. At the time, the metal world was in post-grunge turmoil, while Opeth were forging their own creative path, and fearlessly so. In 2001, the progressive style was just being rehabilitated in the eyes of the mainstream, but there was still something bold about Opeth's rise. With several songs exceeding the ten-minute mark, "Blackwater Park" was no commercial compromise. Instead, its popularity and acclaim proved several valuable things: that music fans (and metalheads in particular) are often far more open-minded than they are given credit for, and that depth, subtlety, sophistication, and imaginativeness are credible selling points. Already enjoying a growing reputation, the album has been favorably received by fans and critics alike. Steven Wilson's new production techniques, longer recording time and new personnel made the record seem lean, small and colourless compared to its peers. "Blackwater Park" was characterized by thrilling dynamics and genre invention, but also by melody: huge, life-affirming melodies and soaring choruses, instantly memorable guitar hooks, and, on softer tracks like "Harvest" and the instrumental "Patterns In The Ivy," flashes of gorgeous, fragile restraint. "Blackwater Park" may not have made Opeth millionaires, but it did introduce the band to a much wider audience and expanded their reach from the somewhat limited metal underground to the wider metal scene and, it seemed only right, the world of progressive rock. Opeth continued to evolve over the next two decades, releasing many more groundbreaking and mind-expanding masterpieces. From shaky beginnings, they have evolved into one of the most exceptional touring bands in the world, and their music is still a major beacon in the heavy and alternative world.
Álbum abarca todos los géneros Rock, Música acústica, Progressive rock y Death Metal. 180g White Coloured Vinyl Limited 2LP 20th Anniversary Edition.
Opeth is a Swedish progressive metal band formed in 1990 in Stockholm by vocalist David Isberg. However, it was when guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt joined the group that they began to solidify their line-up and musical direction. Åkerfeldt eventually became the band's primary songwrite...
