Description

Described by as: surely the bands coming-of-age album, and therefore, an ideal introduction to its remarkable body of work, Opeths fifth album is widely considered to be not only the Swedish groups best work but also simultaneously one of the greatest metal albums and one of the best progressive rock albums ever made. Issued in March 2001, it was the first of several collaborations with co-producer Steven Wilson and something of a commercial breakthrough for the band as well as a critical success. This vinyl pressing is based on the definitive 20th anniversary version, which was issued on seven different vinyl colours, but not on classic black.
