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”

Dream Theater – Greatest Hit (…and 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs)

Greatest Hit (…and 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs) is a compilation album by progressive metal band Dream Theater.

The title alludes to their only Top-10 radio hit, “Pull Me Under“. It features three songs from their breakthrough album Images and Words remixed by Kevin Shirley: “Pull Me Under“, “Take the Time“, and “Another Day“. It also features the song “To Live Forever“, from the Images and Words sessions and B-side of the “Lie” single, which was previously unreleased on studio albums. Several single edits are also featured on this compilation.

The songs have been divided in two discs: the first one, dubbed “The Dark Side“, features heavy, metal-influenced songs, while the second one, entitled “The Light Side“, spotlights the band’s melodic side. The set spans the years from 1991 to 2005, therefore it doesn’t include any songs from Dream Theater’s debut album, When Dream and Day Unite, or from their latest release, Systematic Chaos.
