I literally told my friend that I think Walt's energy rekindled Mike's love of the more aggressive sound.

Lo and behold.

[@Aegaris42]

Now I wish they'd swap keyboardists again. It seems that Joakim coming on in 2011 deeply influenced their whole sound. Watershed > Heritage

[@blurredbetween93]

@@Aegaris42 It's worth noting that Joakim didn't play on Heritage except the piano on the first track. Besides that, Heritage was Per's last album before he was let go. Heritage is also a more experimental album than the last three, which are clearly more prog rock. So maybe he had an influence on the last three, but I'd argue not so much on Heritage.

Those drums are fucking great! As are the keyboard parts.

I’ll never forget listening to Heritage in a car at the top of a pitch black mountain with some old friends. This gave me similar chills. What a culmination. I’ve only listened once and I know this is just brilliant. Thank you Opeth 🫡
