2016 marks the monumental return of one of heavy rock’s most unique, revered and fearless bands of the last three decades, Opeth. Over the years, the experimental, prog veterans have continuously reinvented themselves, pushing the boundaries of their craft and expectations of fans and critics alike.
OPETH’s new album, Sorceress, their first for Nuclear Blast via the band’s imprint label Moderbolaget Records, is proof chief architect Mikael Åkerfeldt has a near-endless well of greatness inside. From the album’s opener 'Persephone' to 'The Wilde Flowers' and 'Strange Brew' to the album’s counterpart title tracks 'Sorceress' and 'Sorceress II', OPETH’s twelfth full-length is an unparalleled adventure, where visions cleverly and secretly change, colors mute as if weathered by time, and sounds challenge profoundly.
Sorceress Track List:
1. Persephone
2. Sorceress
3. The Wilde Flowers
4. Will O The Wisp
5. Chrysalis
6. Sorceress 2
7. The Seventh Sojourn
8. Strange Brew
9. A Fleeting Glance
10. Era
11. Persephone (Slight Return)
”The new album "Sorceress" is our 12th studio album since our beginnings in 1990,” says Åkerfeldt. “I find it difficult to understand that we’ve been going on for 26 years, let alone that we’ve made 12 records now, all of which I am very proud of. ”Sorceress” is no exception. I love this album, as does the whole band. I wrote the music during 5-6 months and we spent only 12 days recording it at Rockfield studios in Wales. I find that once again we’ve taken a step forward. Or sideways, Or backwards. Somewhere!? It’s different! It’s extremely diverse. And if I may say so myself, extremely good. I feel the right to say that since I like to think I know this band better than anyone on the planet. Also, I always manage to detach myself from the record and listen as a fan. It’s a fine little record. My favorite in our discography right now. Of course. That’s how it should be, right? It’s both fresh and old, both progressive and rehashed. Heavy and calm. Just the way we like it. Hopefully there’ll be others around the globe sharing this opinion. It was a joy to make it. A fucking joy to record it, and a sheer joy listening to it. So there you have it!”
For Sorceress, OPETH returned to Rockfield Studios in Wales, also home to pivotal releases from Queen, Rush and Judas Priest, where the Swedes had tracked Pale Communion in 2014 with Tom Dalgety. The band spent 12 days recording at the countryside venue among its serene and inspiring surroundings. The result is nothing short of a powerful and intriguing record that will add yet another layer to the band’s celebrated career.

Like the last two releases, listening to this once may not be enough. After 2-3 listens, you realize it's magical and memorable and won't be able to get it out of your head. Opeth always does something different and inspired, and that is so respectable. P.S. What's not respectable is the entitled complainers who want their old Opeth back. Mikael already gave you all those albums, and he's writing what he wants to. Respect his right to express his art how he pleases. If you don't like it, don't listen.

@mr.nervedamagegaming8050 8 жыл бұрын

But isn't it a bit ironic to be complaining about complainers... on the basis of musical interests? Some fans like change, some don't. I like Coke, but if one day they change the flavor to something like Dr. Pepper... then fuck that, I'll ask questions about it/gripe and will then find a new drink, lol. It's about "taste"... in regards to Opeth... I prefer the Damnation/Ghost Reveries flavor, but at the same time, I don't feel that the other albums "don't sound like Opeth"... I just don't like as many songs ON those albums. The issue I have is with bands like In Flames or Meshuggah (ironic because of your name lol... I find them to be the biggest offender)... they didn't "evolve", they changed genres haha. In Flames became a rock band (at least for several albums) and I preferred Meshuggah as a slightly detuned, math oriented, thrash band... after Chaosphere that all changed. They broke out the 8 strings and Djent was born. In terms of "evolution"... I'd say that Soilwork is a prime example of how to "tweak" your sound while still sounding "like you used to". Point is... people have different interests and tastes... liking EVERYTHING that a band releases can also come across as "pathetic", but who cares? We honestly shouldn't... if people clicked on this video hoping that the song sounded like they "wanted it to" and it didn't... eh... let 'em bitch. If you like the song and they don't... shouldn't effect you either way because you enjoy the music... nature of the world. We don't all like the same things and like to talk about it.

@Meshuggapeth 8 жыл бұрын

I think I will like the new album, but not as much as the previous ones (more than Pale Communion though) because I feel like it's missing something... It's not the growls or the "softness" of the music, I listened to Damnation and really loved it. I don't feel the "greatness" and the atmosphere of older songs like Harvest. It doesn't have this "dreamy" relaxing feeling. But you know, they are evolving and that's great, at least they make something that pleases them and to be honest, the music is good. But I wish it would amaze me like Ghost Reveries did. Ps : The outro on this song surprised me, in a good way !

Even though Ghost Reveries hooked me, and to this day remains my favorite piece of work by them, I have learnt to love everything they make. Heritage to me was a really nice composition from beginning to end, even if it wasn't to the taste of most of their fans, and Pale Communion to me was quite weak but I have high hopes for the new album, and this song really drives my hope further, because it seems like they are moving beyond the tranquil sound that they have been manipulating and evolving since Blackwater Park.

Their ability to write songs extends beyond "good" music, it's out of this damn world - and I have always appreciated their ability to write music that imparts massive feels and makes my chest do somersaults, and not just to write a song that does that on occasion, but entire albums. I like this new stuff. But...a horrible part of me knows I just "like" it. It's good music, but not a single bit of any of it has made my jaw drop or left me speechless like so, so many songs before. Opeth are finally trying too hard.

I can't down vote this (or anything else released by them) -- Opeth is *THE* band that got me into harsh vocals and especially black metal. My Arms, Your Hearse was the first Opeth album I listened to back in 1998-99 when I was still in high school... this is the band that eventually opened my mind to it all. Their past few albums, while they are good in quality/talent/production... I just can't get into them. I saw Opeth in 2004 live with Moonspell. One of my favorite concerts of all time. (Tied with the Brian Wilson show I just saw last week)... they'll always be one of my favorite bands. Maybe they'll come around to their sound style again musically. Maybe not. Hell, Paradise Lost and Dark Tranquillity both did. (Though, I actually find I like their "goth rock" late 90s albums a whole lot). Either way, I can't fault them for moving onto something new. I just probably won't be a part of it for now.

Opeth is truly amazing. What I love about this album is that it is not as melancholic as the last 2. The blending of powerful misery and tragedy with keys and modes that are not chronically minor and diminished is true art in my ears. True progressive music is found in its construction and silence as well as complex rhythms and riffs. It is so refreshing to hear an album that doesn't rely on guitar masturbation to be impressive. Opeth is one of the few bands that has ever caused me to have a physical reaction to the music. Mostly crying I will admit but the occasional laugh or gasp when one of their songs surprises me. It tickles the brain.

Sounds great on my laptop! Sorceress is indeed very muddy and the drums are mixed VERY right in front of you. When I play it on a big PA system, I have to lowcut a bit to even out the mix so the doesn't shake the room to bits. I like the flow of this song, but not the lyrics as much. It doesn't carry me away like the other records. This is very much a statement record, very in your face. Cant fucking wait to hear the rest of the album! Fucking great job guys!

People aren't forced to listen to anything. But when their favorite metal band keeps releasing 70s prog instead, its upsetting. Fans that have stuck with the band for over a decade now feel forced to dislike their favorite band because it's not their style of music. Opeth doesn't play the sound that blew people's minds with every album anymore. Growing up, I never had to listen to Opeth songs more than two or three times to start liking it. There were never any "songs I need to skip" while listening to their entire album. As a fan of classic rock more so than metal, Opeth was really the only metal band I listened to because they pulled me in with their balance of mellow and hard. But they threw all of it away and started catering to a new fan base and basically left the fans of their harder side in the dust. It all really feels like it should have just been a side-project. That's what makes fans like me so angry. I want to still love what Opeth makes these days, but every song they release feels like more of the same 70s prog they decided one day they'd rather be. Every song just makes me want to go back and listen to their original stuff instead.

Really couldn´t have said it better! I love Opeth with all my heart. Opeth put out at least three of my ten favorites albums of all time. I remember listening to ghost reveries for 8 hours the day it was released. Just sitting in front of my stereo and doing nothing else but getting lost in godly music... ;) Nowadays, I think they lost their yin to their yang. In the past, the silent, soft parts were perfectly balanced with the aggressive parts. And thats what made the songs so epic. You never knew in which direction the songs would take you. Besides the awful 70s sound, I really think that "new Opeth" lacks in songwriting. Something I thought I would never say in my life... And by the way: I´m fed up with Opeth fans, who tell me that I´m too dumb to understand the new Opeth sound. It seems to me that many of them fight a "holy war" against anbody who says, that Opeth produced songs which are not pure genius. Now go ahead people and tell me what a moron I am and that Mikael is inerrant!

Sabol Kralj You can’t compare 70’s prog with all new metal degenerate shit that we hear today. Opeth is not making music for headbangers and all Beavis and Butt-Head type of metalheads.

@DarkSideOfLucca 8 жыл бұрын

Your characterization of the people who prefer albums such as Still Life and My Arms, Your Hearse as "Beavis and Butt-Head type metalheads" is embarrassing. They mixed in folk, jazz and progressive rock with death metal. That is not what the stereotypical moronic metalhead would listen to at all. The new stuff is bland and rips off better bands of the past. Just because it is less heavy does not make it more mature.

So I recently saw this band live, I'd heard of them before but never listened to them. I have been getting into metal lately and one of my friends was excited to see them live for this reason (so was I.) Then they played a few songs off this album, I'm a huge prog rock fan so I was really happy to hear this. I immediately fell in love and I've been listening to this whole album over and over. I like a lot of their older albums (yes I did listen to some of it at this point) so I don't mind either way, I excited to hear what they do next.

Opeth is not dead, Opeth never died. They changed into a different beast, morphing day by day. The changes started rather quickly with their album Heritage, which in my opinion on is an amazing album, they changed a little again with Pale Communion another awesome album, and now with sorceress I feel that they have completed the transformation. I believe what I am trying to say is that a band can't stay the same forever and Opeth has been a major pioneer in the Death Metal genre for years with the majority of their discography being Death Metal releases. These albums in my mind are pretty much essentials of the Opeth discography and the Opeth world of music Opeth is awesome and always will be and they will always live on in the hearts of true fans \m/

I'm clearly in the minority here, but I honestly enjoy Opeth's last 3 albums more so than their previous works. I've always been more of a "prog" head than a "metal" head and I absolutely love their new direction. The nuances and intricacies of every song really resonate with me. I still like their older stuff, but the death metal bits got old to me once I stopped being a teenager.

If you add growls to this song, this will sound like it's from Opeth circa 2005. The riffage is so reminiscent of Ghost Reveries. :/ Anyway, Chrysalis and Strange Brew have plenty of heavy moments, too. Era is another heavy metal song.
