O ovoj e-knjizi
There has never been – and never will be – another band like Opeth. Formed in Stockholm, Sweden around 1989, their thirty-year career showcases a melding of diverse influences. They demonstrate a commitment to both songwriting and instrumental excellence, not to mention stylistic diversity – no matter what the cost – that’s unmatched by any of their stylistic peers. Whether it be their unashamedly brutal early LPs, their near-faultless mid-period opuses, or their somewhat polarizing recent glimpses into macabre 1970s-esque prog/jazz rock eccentricity, mastermind Mikael Åkerfeldt and company continuously create records that push themselves, their audience, and progressive music as a whole, forward. The result is among the most extraordinary, dependable, and laudable legacies in modern metal.
Using a meticulously crafted mixture of original analysis and behind-the-scenes research, this book digs into all facets of Opeth’s output to discover how they innovated and evolved with practically every release. After all, each ‘observation’ – from their 1990s black metal classics (Morningrise and My Arms, Your Hearse) and 2000s progressive death metal masterpieces (Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries) to their stunning progressive rock/jazz fusion excursions of the 2010s (Pale Communion and In Cauda Venenum) – found Opeth ceaselessly harvesting a one-of-a-kind catalogue that remains remarkably influential and impressive.
