Opeth Reach Watershed Moment in Australia
Opeth exist in a genre of one…
The forward-thinking Swedish titans, who seamlessly and
fluidly combine metal, classic rock, prog, folk and free form jazz, continue
the time-honored Opeth tradition on ‘Watershed’, their ninth album.
‘Watershed’ picks up where 2005’s flawless ‘Ghost Reveries’
left off, beginning contemplatively before erupting into full-bore chaos. The
band are also bolstered by the addition of some new membership. Drummer Martin
Axenrot and new guitarist Fredrik Åkesson, formerly of Arch Enemy.
‘Watershed’ was recorded in the band’s native Sweden
and was produced by Åkerfeldt and Jens Bogren who stamp the undeniable Opeth
sound on every note.
Opeth will continue to hold the mantle of the most
innovative, creative and revered heavy artist of recent times with the release
of 'Watershed'...an album no doubt poised to extend their reputation as masters
in the genre.
So what could possibly add to the excitement of the release
of ‘Watershed’ on May 31st…?
…After a sold out run of shows in April 2006, Opeth
announce that they will once again tread the boards of our nation’s venues,
with the ‘Watershed’ tour this September.
