Opeth – ‘Watershed’ CD

Most dwellers tend to gush over an Opeth album because it is simply a new Opeth album, but on ‘Watershed,’ the reason to gush is that it is simply a lucidly fantastic album in its own right, not just another Opeth album, and we are gushing.

For a seven-song epic, and with the average song length clocking in at around eight minutes, ‘Watershed’ finishes as a wonderful journey, from the beginning to the end.

Opeth, as mentioned before, certainly know their craft and after nine albums, the Swedish quintet are still going strong. With the end of this album, the young vampire hunter can put to rest the demons who lay siege to his village and climb down the castle walls as a beloved hero. Such a beautiful ending for something so haunting.
