Oof my favourite High on Fire album is getting an update - both this and Surrounded by Thieves sound a bit muddy so will be interested to see what the new versions sound like.

Not sold on the vocal mix on this track, was hoping for something a bit more weighty.

Don't think I've seen much black metal here yet so I thought I'd share

The first Steven Wilson produced album is my pick for the classic Opeth album, expanding the template set on Still Life.

Blackwater Park, however, is so silky smooth. It glides from one moment, one idea, to the next like quicksilver, without ever sacrificing the heaviness that made Oldpeth so special. Åkerfeldt’s vocals feel more polished than ever, with both his reedy cleans and death metal roars bursting with power and emotion, while the riffs and leads laid down by him and Peter Lindgren, together with the huge bass performance from Martin Mendez, gives the whole record a gorgeous, rich texture.
