| | Description: | "SPECIAL 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF OPETHâ??S CLASSIC FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM. PRESENTED ON LIMITED BLACK/RED SPLATTER EFFECT VINYL, WITH ADDITIONAL FOUR PAGE BOOKLET.
Long-standing Swedish progressive-metal pioneers & trailblazers Opeth initially burst onto the scene out of relative obscurity with their monumental 1995 debut, â??Orchidâ??. Showing a clear understanding for dynamics, melody & intricate composition from the offset, word of this little-known but already hotly-tipped group had spread quickly through the underground, with portions of the metal press rightly hailing this bold new combination of progressive metal, death metal & touches of black metal as a sign of a band destined for great things. Highly revered by fans & extreme metal press alike, Opeth released a further two albums of similar depth & quality, whilst still looking for their big, defining breakthrough moment.
â??Still Lifeâ?? was Opethâ??s fourth career studio release, & first outing for Peaceville. Armed with renewed enthusiasm, the band delivered a flawless gem of an album. Originally released in 1999, the enigmatic â??Still Lifeâ?? is an ambitious concept album focusing on a tale of forbidden love in dangerous times. Featuring the extraordinary voice & poetic lyrics of Mikael Akerfeldt, â??Still Life'sâ?? moods range from brutal passages of extreme metal to predominantly acoustic moments of breathtaking beauty, & is regarded as one of the defining releases in helping to mark Opethâ??s ascension towards being a dominant force in the world of metal & prog.
This special limited release of â??Still Lifeâ?? marks the albumâ??s 25th anniversary & is presented on double gatefold red/black splatter effect vinyl. The sleeve for this pressing features the original 1999 cover artwork by Travis Smith, plus includes a four-page booklet containing an extensive interview with the band surrounding the making of the album, from when â??Still Lifeâ?? was inducted into Decibel Magazineâ??s esteemed Hall of Fame.
