Opeth
Morningrise

'To bid you farewell' is probably the one of a few songs that touches my soul. The breakthrough when music is speeding up to the heavy riff gives my chills every time. You can hear many styles when listening along to the whole album. Opeth are visioners.

The second studio album by Swedish progressive metal band Opeth.Morningrise showcases Opeth's signature style, exploring the dynamics between the combination of black metal and death metal vocals, and guitar parts with lighter progressive and acoustic elements. I recommend.

The music is complex and by no means background, therefore it is perceived quite hard. The main thing is not to be distracted, otherwise the album will seem boring and drawn out. Beautiful and mysterious busts and emotional vocals escalate the mystical atmosphere, and unexpected transitions from slow air passages to an energetic and energetic sound shake and add drive. The recording quality is excellent, each instrument in its place, only the drums do not sound very convincing. The minuses of the album include too few bright melodies. The booklet, decorated in foggy greenish tones, is pleasing to the eye, as is, by the way, the talented lyrics on romantic themes. In general, the album leaves a very positive impression, but not right away, but after about the 3rd listening ... This is not the kind of music that is well perceived "on the go", you need to set aside time for it. Only in this way, feeling and thinking, you can appreciate this complex work.

With Orchid and My arms your hearse, Morningrise builds the trinity of old great Opeth's majesty. Less ruvid than the debut album Orchid, and at same time more refined than the other work, this album still offer few and long songs one can experience as pure narration. Still old formation here, And still Death progressive metal with gothic influences. Still Opeth in one word.
