Opeth Blackwater Park
description details20th Anniversary Edition 180g 2LP White Vinyl in Gatefold Cover!
Two decades later and still a stunning effort, Opeth's magnum opus "Blackwater Park" is dense with exceptional melodic moments, spooky atmosphere and agile yet crushing heaviness. With this effort, the Swedish metallers kicked in the ornate doors of prog, infusing death metal with a cosmic kaleidoscope and ushering a generation of music nerds into a world of limitless musical possibilities.
Re-released via Music For Nations, it will be lovingly pressed on heavyweight audiophile vinyl, in various deluxe variants and housed in a gatefold artwork sleeve, with updated liner notes and credits. The deluxe variants, including a hard case CD, come with an updated artwork booklet that includes new liner notes, never-before-seen memories of the band and exclusive content made available by the Opeth fanbase. It remains a must-have for Opeth enthusiasts, completists, and casual listeners alike.
In many ways, Opeth's Blackwater Park can be seen as her answer to the Beatles' Revolver, both uncompromising and experimental, but equally commercially viable and unbreakable masterpieces.
Mikael Åkerfeldt comments:
"I know that 'Blackwater Park' was the stepping stone to professionalism for us. Since then the band has taken all of our time and we've never really looked back. Always forward.
It is known that Steven Wilson came to produce the album and that was the start of a lifelong friendship. I think the songs were different from what most other bands were doing at the time, but the production definitely set us apart from the rest. Steven helped highlight the true strength of the band, which was and still is our versatility."
After four albums of imaginative and infectious heavy music, the band was ready to make a career-defining statement. At the time, the metal world was bobbing in a state of post-grunge confusion while Opeth forged a fearlessly creative path of their own. Back in 2001, prog was being rehabilitated in the eyes of the mainstream, but there was still something bold about the rise of Opeth. With several songs surpassing the ten-minute mark, "Blackwater Park" was no commercial compromise of any sort. Instead, the popularity and acclaim proved a few valuable points: that music fans (and metalheads in particular) are often far more open-minded than they are given credit for, and that depth, subtlety, sophistication and imagination are all credible selling points.
The record, which already has a steadily growing reputation, has been positively received by fans and critics alike. Thanks to new production techniques with Steven Wilson, a longer recording time and a new crew, the record made its competitors look narrow, small and colorless in comparison. From the towering grandeur of The Leper Affinity to the psychedelic ebb and flow of the closing title track, "Blackwater Park" oozed heady dynamics and genre-bending inventiveness, but it was also blessed with melody: huge, life-affirming melodies and soaring choruses, instantly memorable lead guitar hooks and, through the gentler tracks like Harvest and the instrumental Patterns In The Ivy, flashes of exquisite, fragile restraint.
"Blackwater Park" didn't make Opeth millionaires, but it introduced the band to a much larger audience and expanded their appeal from the somewhat restrictive confines of the metal underground to the broader metal scene and, it only seemed right, the world of progressive rock. In the meantime, Opeth have spent the following two decades constantly evolving and releasing many more groundbreaking and mind-expanding masterpieces. They have grown from timid beginnings into one of the most extraordinary live bands in the world and their music continues to be a major beacon in the heavy and alternative world.
