2016
marks the monumental return of one of heavy rock’s most unique, revered
and fearless bands of the last three decades, Opeth. Over the years,
the experimental, prog veterans have continuously reinvented themselves,
pushing the boundaries of their craft and expectations of fans and
critics alike.
OPETH’s new album, Sorceress, their first for
Nuclear Blast via the band’s imprint label Moderbolaget Records, 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 II', OPETH’s twelfth full-length is an
unparalleled adventure, where visions cleverly and secretly change,
colors mute as if weathered by time, and sounds challenge profoundly.
Sorceress Track List:
1. Persephone
2. Sorceress
3. The Wilde Flowers
4. Will O The Wisp
5. Chrysalis
6. Sorceress 2
7. The Seventh Sojourn
8. Strange Brew
9. A Fleeting Glance
10. Era
11. Persephone (Slight Return)
”The
new album "Sorceress" is our 12th studio album since our beginnings in
1990,” says Åkerfeldt. “I find it difficult to understand that we’ve
been going on for 26 years, let alone that we’ve made 12 records now,
all of which I am very proud of. ”Sorceress” is no exception. I love
this album, as does the whole band. I wrote the music during 5-6 months
and we spent only 12 days recording it at Rockfield studios in Wales. I
find that once again we’ve taken a step forward. Or sideways, Or
backwards. Somewhere!? It’s different! It’s extremely diverse. And if I
may say so myself, extremely good. I feel the right to say that since I
like to think I know this band better than anyone on the planet. Also, I
always manage to detach myself from the record and listen as a fan.
It’s a fine little record. My favorite in our discography right now. Of
course. That’s how it should be, right? It’s both fresh and old, both
progressive and rehashed. Heavy and calm. Just the way we like it.
Hopefully there’ll be others around the globe sharing this opinion. It
was a joy to make it. A fucking joy to record it, and a sheer joy
listening to it. So there you have it!”
For Sorceress, OPETH
returned to Rockfield Studios in Wales, also home to pivotal releases
from Queen, Rush and Judas Priest, where the Swedes had tracked Pale
Communion in 2014 with Tom Dalgety. The band spent 12 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.
