Sorceress – fresh Swedish progressive metal on Nuclear Blast!
Opeth has been injecting their death-growl drenched metal with jazz, blues, folk, kraut- and prog-rock for a quarter century now. Due to that eclectic approach, figurehead Lars Mikael Åkerfeldt and his Swedish accomplices are known as one of the most adventurous metal bands in the world.
On ‘Sorceress’, it’s clear that they’re not planning to throw away a reputation like that. Their twelfth longplayer (via Nuclear Blast i.p.v. Roadrunner Rec.) was recorded with Tom Dalgety (just like previous album ‘Pale Communion’ from ’14) – former dial-spinner for bands like Royal Blood, Band Of Skulls, and Killing Joke. In AB again, for the fifth time, so we know what to expect: a storming battering-ram of refined progressive metal!
