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 12th album, »Sorceress«, is a proof that 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, colours mute as if weathered by time, and sounds challenge profoundly.
Åkerfeldt: "I can only talk from my perspective and taste here, but we offer diversity that’s not really present in the scene today. Whatever genre. We’ve always been a special band."
