Opeth is one of the leading bands from Sweden, a heavy metal powerhouse. Although they are currently very popular, they actually experienced a fairly long period of struggle. They formed in 1990. Originally starting as a death metal band, they made their album debut in 1995 with 'Orchid'. After that, they released four albums up to 'Still Life' in 1999, but they were not in a position to make a living from music. The turning point came with their fifth album, 'Blackwater Park'. This album, in which their progressive spirit exploded, was produced under a perfect system, with a contract with Music for Nations and Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree as producer. However, leader Mikael ?kerfeldt was thinking at the time, "Once we make this album, I'll quit the band and look for a serious job." In the end, the album became a huge hit, and they went on to become one of the world's leading progressive metal bands. Now, Opeth is releasing their new album, "The Last Will and Testament," after a five-year hiatus. Regarding this work, Mikael shows great confidence, saying, "I love this record. I can even say I'm proud of it." As you can tell from the fact that it is a concept album themed on the post-World War I era, this time too, it is the full-on heavy and progressive Opeth world. With growl vocals also included, fans who like their extreme metal side will also enjoy it to the fullest. Orchestral instruments such as strings and harp are also featured.
