PALE COMMUNION

Well Opeth in constant changing. Their last album was in an acoustic line... This one is like a typical Swedish heavy prog...reminds me very much Anekdoten...Anglagard...Paatos..bands that are inspired in 70 ies prog with that Nordic touches. What I have always love from Opeth is their instrumental heavy jazzy passages and Mikael vocals...what I hate are the guttural noises ...very typical of the dark metal albums ...this disgusting and unnecessary element...finally it seem is in the past of Opeth... So now we can listen to a clear ,defined and excellent heavy prog . A very mature album Beautiful songs.. Near a masterpiece in heavy prog ...so I want to prize Opeth.. 5 stars
