Heritage will signal a departure for Opeth from the musical style of their past albums. Originally, the first two songs Mikael Ã…kerfeldt wrote for the album were in the style of Watershed, but he scrapped them soon after. After writing "The Lines in My Hands" and speaking with Martin Mendez, Ã…kerfeldt decided to write the rest of the album in that style.

Heritage will feature no death growls, which have been present on every Opeth album except Damnation. The album's title track is influenced by Jan Johansson and Swedish folk music.

I like this, and I've always liked their softer jazzy experimental stuff. Although, a major sell for the band is how well they blend it with their harder stuff, so a full album of this stuff may not be quite as epic as usual.

You're gonna like it if you like the softer experimental gay stuff. The only way this is acceptable is if in six months they release something brutal like they did with Deliverance and Damnation.

At least it's better than Watershed :up:

ps: fuck u...

best song by far is Folklore, reminds me of the mellower stuff from Ghost Reveries which made that album.

I think they're done with heavy growly stuff for good, which is a damn shame. They played mainly soft songs during the concert, some old and some off the new album. No growly vocals. Very few heavy songs, but boy when they did get heavy .. fucking phenomenal. I'm kicking myself for missing them live 3 years ago in support of Watershed.

I've got the exact opposite: I don't like Opeth's previous work but I really do like this album. But then again, I'm usually not into growling metal stuff while I do like the kind of music that's on this album.
