Blackwater Park is the record that fully cemented Opeth as progressive metal titans. Crushing death-metal riffing melts into sprawling prog passages, acoustic interludes and haunting atmospheres, all tied together with Mikael Åkerfeldt’s trademark growl-to-clean vocal shifts. It’s epic, intricate, and heavy in both sound and mood - the album that brought a whole new audience into the world of extreme yet melodic metal..
FFO: Porcupine Tree, Katatonia, Mastodon, Enslaved.
