Opeth Blackwater Park (Black & Silver)

A much-deserved and open armed 25th anniversary celebration of Opeth’s magnum opus. Two decades in, now certified silver ,and still a breath-taking piece of work, dense with extraordinary melodic moments, spine-tingling atmospherics and agile but crushing heaviness, and one that saw the Swedish metallers kick open prog’s ornate doors, fed death metal through the cosmic kaleidoscope and introduced a generation of music nerds to a world of limitless musical possibilities.
