It's not uncommon for a band to change paths throughout their career, but none have done it quite like Opeth. When a band changes their sound, it is usually for one of two reasons; for business (they need money so they pursue a more commercial route) or a legitimate evolution of their sound and it is almost always obvious which it is. To go from death metal to prog rock certainly sounds like a business move on paper, but just give a listen to 'Pale Communion' and you'll immediately hear that this is truly the type of music that Opeth is meant to play. It is a privilege to be a part of the musical journey they have embarked on and I look forward to seeing where we are taken next.
