OPETH

Release Year: 2016
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: intricate dynamic progressive death metal

one year after the shockingly stunning, highly intricate debut, four Swedes are full of genius ideas and imagination to deliver a sophomore set [1996] of original, visual, romantic, poignant, and beautiful emotional dark death metal - yet longer and more twisted compositions structurally develop forward, shifting back and forth from full-on intense, ferocious metal sections, marked by distorted dual guitar riffs and growling vocals, to calm, acoustic guitar-based passages with more softly sung vocals, while somber, mysterious and profound vibe is very distinct and instantly recognizable; recent European digisleeve edition comes with twelve page booklet and rare rehearsal Eternal Soul Torture bonus from 1992
