Review:

To put this masterpiece into words is virtually impossible, because what OPETH have created with "Morningrise" just is not from this world!

1 album, 5 songs, altogether 66 minutes of playing time, and each and every second an essential part of the whole. Here you find everything, aggression and emotion, calm and anger, heaviness and mellowness, everything in one song, yet never sounding like different parts, but always in a flow.

The four Swedes haven't exactly changed since their debut "Orchid", rather matured, combining accessibility with complexity, melody with heaviness in a truly masterful way, which shows, what the human mind is capable of.

Heavy parts with Death Metal-vocals are interspersed with almost fragile acoustic passages and clean vocals, flowing together into a union, which made OPETH a truly unique band. I only want to pick out one song, which is "Black Rose Immortal", more than 20 minutes long, yet within that not even one second too long, unifying all the facets that are OPETH, a musical masterpiece for itself.

Packed into a brilliant production this album is ESSENTIAL (very, very capital) for EACH Metal-fan, who thinks that he is one, because you really have to have heard this for yourself!
