new Opeth track "cusp of Eternity"

Post by jnurp »

Probably one of the cheesiest titles in their catalogue, but I love the track. This is what heritage should have been. The song has direction and melody. Amaqzing vox and great guitar work. Great production as well. Sounds like Mikael and Steve Wilson are in love again. Great track, too bad the album doesn't drop for another 2 1/2 months.

Sounds like an Amorphis track.

^ that sounds way too much like something they wrote while writing heritage. That song is rubbish to my ears. Just a free jam without any direction which is what heritage sounds like to me. I really hope the majority of the next release is more like Cusp than this track.
