Blackwater Park (named after an obscure German progressive rock outfit from the 1970s) keeps with Opeth's tradition by transcending the limits of death/black metal and repeatedly shattering the foundations of conventional songwriting.
To mark the 20th anniversary of Opeth's ground-breaking 2003 album 'Damnation', a special vinyl re-issue project has been meticulously crafted to pay homage to a pivotal and trailblazing moment in the band's illustrious history.
Now comes Aenima; produced by Dave Bottrill (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson), the album's 70+ minutes of material will solidify the band's rep as visionary musicians.
The album is filled with heavy, intricate, and precisely performed guitar riffs. You can't avoid the monstrous riffs in a song like 'The Grand Conjuration'.
BBE Music celebrates the centenary of recorded Ghana Highlife music with a double album reissue of two rare 80s LPs recorded by the late Atakora Manu, AFRO HIGHLIFE and OMINTIMINIM.
