Opeth – Watershed (2008)

Origin from Sweden, this is Opeth fronted by guitarist/vocal Mikael Åkerfeldt which is a heavy metal or death metal but they do incorporates progressive metal, progressive rock, folk and jazz in most of their lengthy songs. I personally do not know them until recently digging thru certain dl sites and come across the odd name. i’m not afraid to give it a try.

Watershed will be their 9th album from them and the first single will be ‘Porcelain Heart,’ which contains the tracks ‘Porcelain Heart‘ and ‘The Lotus Eater‘.

Tracklist:

1. “Coil”
2. “Heir Apparent”
3. “The Lotus Eater”
4. “Burden”
5. “Porcelain Heart”
6. “Hessian Peel”
7. “Hex Omega”

cheers & GB…
