Oh no, I like heavy metal in all its forms. Sir Lord Baltimore and Blue Cheer or Bloodrock (They know even the largest Heavy fans nowadays barely) over Budgie, Rush, Judas Priest, the usual gods (Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep and Deep Purple) to Metallica, Mastodon , Kadavar, Blues Pills ....
But calmer waters have their charm: Marillion, Flower Kings, Transantlantic .. That came about.
And then I hear this album. The lower jaw slides down slowly. What is that?
Let's forget the aforementioned bands. Opeth are (or rather were) to something of your own.
This album draws a once in a separate world. The style: I do not know. It is also completely indifferent to me.
The music, especially singing, you immediately leave you spellbound. I know that in this form of Pink Floyd or Jethro Tull. But this here is not a copy.
It's ... well .. Opeth.
What better could be said about a rock band?
Magical!
