Sorceress

Opeth

A heavy psychedelic odyssey defined by thick Hammond organ, vintage analog warmth, and folk-inflected melodies. Opeth's most overt tribute to 1970s progressive rock.

A dark, earthy exploration of heartbreak through the lens of vintage psychedelic prog.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift from the pastoral acoustic intro of Persephone into the crushing, chromatic organ riff of the title track.
The intricate, Jethro Tull-inspired flute and acoustic interplay on Will O the Wisp that feels like a lost 1971 folk-rock gem.
The chaotic, improvisational jazz-fusion breakdown in the middle of Strange Brew before the heavy guitars return.
