Well fuck me I am old. Remember when Opeth made great music? Pepperidge Farm remembers. I first discovered Opeth and their LANDMARK 2001 album Blackwater Park via a tiny 2002 Guitar World article exploring the then-little known world of #extrememetal (that nu metal shit was still popular and, if I'm not mistaken the jerk offs from Creed were on the cover of this particular issue). And to think, at that time, the only way to discover music was downloading through Napster, which killed off tape trading like a red headed stepchild. Upon hearing "The Funeral Portrait" on the Music Choice channel, I found it to be the perfect blend of death metal intensity with lush 70s prog vibes along with a LOT of gothic undertones. Unfortunately they took the Camel influence a little too far in the years to come. If you can find the deluxe version of Blackwater Park, which features the bonus tracks "Still Day Beneath The Sun" and "Patterns In The Ivy Pt. 2", get it. Recommended tracks: The Leper Affinity, Blackwater Park, Harvest, The Drapery Falls, Still Day Beneath The Sun, Patterns In The Ivy Pt. 2 #confessionsofanangrymetalhead #metalhead #opeth #2001 #blackwaterpark #progmetal #mikaelakerfeldt #martinlopez #martinmendez #peterlindgren #sweden #swedishprogmetal #stilldaybeneaththesun #patternsintheivy #patternsintheivy2 #blackwaterpark #thedraperyfalls #harvest #theleperaffinity #dirgefornovember #bleak #Repost @officialopeth (@get_repost) ・・・ "Blackwater Park" is 20 years old today!
