100% awesome. I'm in the hospital after a stroke, and this album very soothing yet stimulated my right brain just the way it needed to be
Wishing you a speedy recovery brother. Strokes can be devastating to cognitive function so it's good to see you still able to post this comment.
Prayers ascend. For the recovery: use it or lose it
Wish you best of recovery! I am now "celebrated" 2-year-anniversary of my own stroke! Lying in bed through the 1st year, and things are getting better the 2nd year! I realise that I need to go back to what I love to do most - first is listening to metal! Opeth is my long time top favourite band so I return to all of their albums
Victor, I checked out your channel and 1st thing I saw was Dream Theater: Images and Words. My all time fav. So inspiring, I have listened to this endlessly since 1992. The melodies and the drive... oh you know! Thanks for reminding me to ROCK! Praying for your continued healing too, friend!
@@josephgutschmidt4718 since my hand is kind of buggard up due to a Fall on Outstretched Hand, I am going to learn Lap Steel guitar while I rehab. Thanks brother, I will Rock again!!!

At the time this album was released, i went through a lot of change. Just having gone through a breakup and didn't know where to go from there. This album really helped me realize change is okay and natural. As this band changed in their style of playing, so did I change as well overall as a human being. I'll admit i was cynical for a bit there but it went away after a while and things started looking up. Thank you to Opeth for giving me a reason to keep moving forward in life and not giving up!😊
In a world where every chord progression, every melody....
Has been used a thousand times over....
Opeth still manage to create something definitive thats sounds so "them".....
Beautiful work.
This album is such a masterpiece
The drums Is so jazz
I don't know why, I love this album. It isn't the best Opeth album but I love it so much.
What a great album seriously !
The best Opeth albym is the one you like the most :)
Probably slightly unpopular opinion, but my favourites are Morningrise and Deliverance/Damnation
@@rachskaldI do not disagree with you, nor do I disagree with the original comment. Their newest work is also beautifully excellent.
@@josephgutschmidt4718 I'm personally not a fan of the direction they took later on, but that is very subjective. They are still excellent musicians, just not my cup of tea.
@@josephgutschmidt4718 Out of curiosity, which are your favourite albums? :)
@@rachskaldDamnation is definitely on my list of favorite Opeth albums, along with Watershed and Ghost Reveries. Some of the other albums I haven't listened to in a while. Guess I'll just have to listen to them all in the order they were released, and get back to you :D
I definitely agree with your point that their 'best album' is the one the individual likes most. At the same time, if there is a sound or technical trick they're trying to pull off, I can appreciate their peak work in those endeavors. Growls for instance: I may not care for listening to the song, but still be impressed by the song where they take it to the deepest depths their skills allow.
One of their best albums (if not the best alongside In cauda venenum, Damnation, MAYH, still life and blackwater park). Real masterpiece.
Thanks for the vinyl upload!
I just can’t thank you enough.

Label Roadrunner
Producer Mikael Åkerfeldt
''Heritage'' is the tenth studio album by Swedish progressive metal band Opeth. It was released on 13 September 2011 through Roadrunner Records. The album was recorded in early 2011 at Atlantis Studios in Stockholm and produced by Mikael Åkerfeldt, engineered by Janne Hansson, and mixed by Steven Wilson (the first album since 2003 album Damnation which he worked together with the band, although he was not the producer anymore). It takes on more of a progressive rock sound, something the band had wanted to do for some time. It is a stark contrast to the progressive death metal sounds of their past albums.
A critical and commercial success, the album sold 19,000 units in the United States in its debut week, charting at number 19 on the Billboard 200. The album was their first since 2003's Damnation not to feature Åkerfeldt's signature death growls.
Background
During a press junket in September 2010 for In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall, Mikael Åkerfeldt told Classic Rock magazine that he was finally writing for a new Opeth album. On 31 January 2011, Opeth entered Atlantis/Metronome Studios in Stockholm to begin recording, with Janne Hansson engineering and Steven Wilson mixing. By late March, mixing was complete, and in April, Per Wiberg was relieved of his duties in Opeth as part of a mutual decision with the band. On 25 May, Heritage was announced as the album's title. On 26 July, the band premiered the album's first single, "The Devil's Orchard", on Stereogum. On 11 September, the album was streamed in its entirety on NPR Music. On 23 September, the music video for "The Devil's Orchard" was released.
Artwork
The cover art for Heritage was revealed at the beginning of June 2011, done once again by longtime collaborator Travis Smith. In a video interview with Face Culture, Åkerfeldt said the album is rife with symbolism. The tree, reminiscent of a tree of life, represents the band flourishing in the present while its roots "going down to hell" represent the band's death metal history. The faces on the tree are those of the current band members, with Wiberg's head falling off the tree representing his departure. The skulls underneath the tree also represent past band members. The burning theatre in the distance represents the decline of civilization.[citation needed]
Musical style
Åkerfeldt has been candid about the decision prompting the band to embrace progressive rock more openly and depart from the sound that Opeth has been pursuing for much of its preceding career:
I was a bit discouraged with the contemporary metal scene, and I wanted to break away from it even more. I feel we've been on the outskirts of that scene for a couple of years. I just couldn't see myself writing another album in the same vein as the last couple of records. Thankfully I listen to so many different kinds of music, and writing music has never been a problem. I've always seen Opeth as a band without boundaries. So if it's good and everybody in the band likes it, it's an Opeth record. In the end I sat down and wrote the music that I wanted to hear right now.
In the press release for ''Heritage'', Mikael Åkerfeldt revealed that he felt as though he had been building to write the album since he was 19 years old. In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek called ''Heritage'' the band's most adventurous album, describing the songs as "drenched in instrumental interludes, knotty key and chord changes, shifting time signatures, clean vocals, and a keyboard-heavy instrumentation that includes Mellotrons, Rhodes pianos, and Hammond organs".
Originally, the first two songs Åkerfeldt wrote for Heritage were in the style of Watershed. After hearing the songs for the first time, Martín Méndez told Åkerfeldt that he would be disappointed if the album continued in that direction. Relieved that Méndez was not interested in doing another conventional Opeth album, Åkerfeldt scrapped the two songs and started the writing process over. After composing what would become "The Lines in My Hand", he decided to write the new album in a brand new style. Influenced by Chris Dangerous of The Hives, Åkerfeldt incorporated a "ride groove drum beat" from an unknown song by the aforementioned influence into the aforementioned Opeth song.
Heritage is influenced by a multitude of artists, including Alice Cooper and Magma.The album's title track is influenced by Swedish pianist Jan Johansson and Swedish folk music."Slither" is a tribute to Ronnie James Dio, who died during the album's writing process.
Trilogy
Steven Wilson has declared this album the first part of a trilogy, alongside Wilson's solo album ''Grace for Drowning'' and ''Storm Corrosion''s self-titled album, all of which were released over a year-long period from 2011 to 2012.
Heritage has received generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic (a review aggregator site which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 from music critics), based on 15 critics, the album has received a score of 71/100, which indicates "generally favorable reviews". Many critics praised the album's boldness, with Thom Jurek of AllMusic writing, "Love it or hate it, ''Heritage'', for its many excesses - and stellar conception and execution - is a brave album".
Dom Lawson of The Guardian praised the band's new direction, saying, "The Swedes' 10th album, Heritage, is a brave, melancholic and often beautiful heavy rock record that revels in the warm, analogue tones and shimmering mellotrons of the pre-punk 70s while still exuding a sense of wonder at new ideas". Some critics have gone so far as to call it one of the band's best. In a positive review for PopMatters, Brice Ezell warned that the album takes some warming up to, commenting, "Heritage isn't the type of record to blow away one's mind upon first listen; it takes time to grow in its complexities". The album has won numerous awards from music publications and has been nominated for the Album of the Year Award by Prog, presented by Classic Rock.
Mixed reviews of the album have focused on its change in style from previous Opeth albums. Uncut magazine wrote, "On Heritage, [they're] jettisoning practically all trace of heavy whatsoever". Similarly, Kerrang! magazine wrote, "It's an album that succeeds on its own terms but if it really does mark the effective end of Opeth as a metal band, that will remain our loss". In a negative review for Drowned in Sound, Patrick Smith wrote, "Åkerfeldt should be praised for breaking free of an often repetitive genre - there's nothing wrong with radical reinvention. But this departure didn't need to be quite so lacklustre".
Many Opeth fans did not take too kindly to the abrupt change in style. In an interview, Mikael Åkerfeldt recalled a time after a concert when someone tried to fight him for not making death metal music anymore.

this album suffered from such a poor and buried drum mix. these songs live are so beautiful and epic
Questo è veramente un bell album Gli Opeth cominciano davvero a suonare in direzione prog sinfonica molto uso di tastiere hammond mellotron e synts !!!!! I riferimenti sono molto chiari King Crimson ma anche i Deep Purple più prog rock !!!
I have got Opeth's album called Heritage on CD & DVD already!
Este album possui deveras partes interessantíssimas gostei mto u.u
😎😎😎
Esse álbum eh top, eu gosto de ouvir quando tou Beba
Good progressive metal rock to hear with hi-fi speakers (Martz Inura)
just goes to show how fantastic UA-cam's mastery of hi-fi delivery is ( when the source is up to par of course ) I'm listening through an ordinary 300 dollars soundbar...and i'm regularly mind blown over the results AND notion of what i will hear if i switch to a $1,200 SONOS bar !!! ( i'm sitting in my humble office....there's just no space for speakers....)
Kapitalna płyta
a co tu jest kapitalnego ???
@DrTAlentSenior nie obrazaj polaku,choc jestes polakiem
@DrTAlentSenior Jak nie masz zamiaru obrazac to tak sie wyrazaj aby nie bylo domnieman...Z bogiem ? tego mam gleboko gdzies,jedyne co daje to starosc i smierc-wszystko inne trzeba sobie samemu wywalczyc ! Ksieza jak sobie paly nawzajem robia to tez pewnie wszystko z bogiem robia,w koncu sa--blizej
@DrTAlentSenior tego nie wiem,kazdy musi sam wiedziec
@@AntyAnty1000 Nie wiem co ''tu''jest kapitalnego,natomiast wiem co w tej muzie mnie zainspirowało do napisania że jest kapitalna.A więc,świetne teksty,świetna aranżacja i taka''eklektyczność''.Bardzo mi przypomina brzmienie mojej ulubionej kapeli''Porcupine Tree''.Generalnie uwielbiam rock progresywny.To jest muzyka która nie wpada w ucho od razu.
Where's Pyre?
It’s a great album but it kinda lags that’s what I felt.
pale communion is their best album outside metal.
Negative space is important in ALL art. This album draws me in. Meditative, and in those moments you call 'lag' I'm holding my breath to see where they take it next. Meditative, creative, dynamic, surprising, retrospective... beautiful album
is this progressive satanic music? never heard that before.
It's not "satanic". But it is progressive
Opeth was never satanic and will never be 😤
Talking about sins, God or even the devil doesn't mean it is satanic. It just means they talk about something that is above human kind.
:D hope it helped
It is PROGRESSIVE SATANIC BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE. There, I fixed it for you. BTW neither fantastic characters (god/devil) exists.
@@PabloJ1968 fool's pretend they know what they don't. you sir are a fool.
@@olheghtt Only fools call others fools, just to divert the attention toward them.
Meh...
Come on, say it. Make your childish comment bro
Exactly how I felt, but I kept going back to it. Now I'm somewhere between "Meh" and "Wow".
