Watershed

Product Information

The band themselves is not bad in any way. It's just that this album saw a real decrease in the quality of the music being put out by the band. The bottom line is that this album was a disappointment compared to their last album. It still had some dignified moments which is more than I can say for Heritage and I do admit that if I were trying to get someone into Opeth's music, I would probably start with this album. Most people who are not metalheads might find some enjoyment in the slower moments and it would get them used to Mikael's growling. Still, as an Opeth fan, I don't find much enjoyment in listening to this album.

Pale Communion was supported with more touring from Opeth. In 2015, Opeth played several concerts to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the band. At these special shows, the band was doing two sets. The first set is 2005's Ghost Reveries as a ten-year anniversary celebration of the album. The second set spanned the rest of the band's career, celebrating their 25th anniversary.

A number of artists and bands have cited Opeth as an influence, among which are Mayan (a project of Mark Jansen from Epica), [108] Luc Lemay of Gorguts, [109] Soen (a band of former Opeth drummer Martin Lopez), [110] Tor Oddmund Suhrke of Leprous, [111] Disillusion, [112] Caligula's Horse, [113] Klimt 1918, [114] Daniel Droste of Ahab, [115] Becoming the Archetype, [116] [117] Nucleus Torn, [118] Alex Vynogradoff of Kauan, [119] Wastefall, [120] Eric Guenther of The Contortionist, [121] Thomas MacLean and To-Mera, [122] [123] The Man-Eating Tree, [124] Nahemah, [125] Vladimir Agafonkin of Obiymy Doshchu, [126] Schizoid Lloyd, [127] Native Construct, Maxime Côté of Catuvolcus, [128] Bilocate, [129] and Jinjer. [130]The production is warm and detailed. Maybe the most professional and well sounding production yet on an Opeth album. I think it´s the first time I´ve been completely satisfied with the drum sound on an Opeth album. Scott Alisoglu (2 November 2009). "Interview with Ahab". TeethOfTheDivine.com.
