Opeth Sorceress

2016, Swedish progressive metallers Opeth's first effort for Nuclear Blast is proof 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 2", Opeth's new full-length SORCERESS is an unparalleled adventure, where visions cleverly and secretly change, colors mute as if weathered by time, and sounds challenge profoundly. For SORCERESS, Opeth returned to Rockfield Studios in Wales, also home to pivotal releases from Queen, Rushand Judas Priest, where the Swedes had tracked PALE COMMUNION in 2014 with Tom Dalgety. The band spent twelve days recording at the countryside venue among its serene and inspiring surroundings. The result is nothing short of a powerful and intriguing record that will add yet another layer to the band's celebrated career.
