it is also my favorite album by the band

[@WFly101]

It's my favorite of the modern era Opeth. Better than Orchid in my opinion. Orchid still has some amazing guitar harmonies. I like every Opeth album

[@WhiskeyRichard.]

Orchid has some awesome experimental/fusion stuff buried in the middle (of some of the best metal ever made). In particular note are the acoustic sections of The Apostle in Triumph. Really great classical/medieval/folk leanings. I hated their modern prog/psychadelic stuff... until I got older and started to really appreciate it. I can listen to their hard stuff now and again still. I can listen to this any time. @@WFly101

Lyrics: Child of autumn was born To a world of deceit and then a land of lies Break her bonds would take her away The stars that stands are lost in eternal sorrow She walks across the country She holds her hand up high in the rain Mother was screaming for help She turns around to stare at a scene from her memory She sighing, wishing her heart Flew through a flap of wings that's come from a dream That someone is waiting to see her name Coming to inside at the Cusp Of Eternity

[@mauriciobuitrago7853]

I'm speechless. It's progressive, yet accessible... mystic and full of the sweetness of fantastic bass and drums. I've been listening to it non-stop for a while and I still find things to like and things that make the sound even richer. People might cry about this song not being "Opeth" enough, but Opeth never settled for a single sound. They have been all over the death-metal-prog-rock landscape and they have still so much to explore and blow our minds with. Hail Opeth!

[@viridianloom]

When I first listened to this song I wasn't too into it, but now that I've returned to it after the past couple of days to check it out again I'm sort of digging it now. It's not like classic opeth, which was more about movements and emotional highs and lows, this is kind of driving and atmospheric. Its sort of like Chelsea Wolfes philosphy of using a riff as a meditative experience while chanting over it. I'm eager to hear what the rest of the album sounds like now, because I feel like this song probably makes a good bridge between moods.

[@95TurboSol]

Although I prefer their older stuff for sure, I am starting to like this a bit more and this song is definitely an improvement over Heritage, not that it was bad, it was just a bit too out there for me, I like the more melodic stuff. Kudos to Opeth for doing their own thing and continuing to be "progressive" with their music though, I'll keep listening.

one of their best in a long time...yes its not death metal vocals anymore..i think for opeth those days are gone..but i really dig this..its very well arranged..shows you dont need 15 minute long songs to get your point across

[@pineapplepeanuts]

From the two songs I've heard from Pale Communion, I can say that Heritage was just a demo album for what was the come. There's some great moments on Heritage but it was really unfocused at times and bland. This new record sounds like it will be much more focused and convincing. Just this song on its own would probably be the best track if it was on Heritage. Eternal Rains Will Come is just as good and pretty damn moving. I haven't been MOVED by Opeth's music since Ghost Reveries, at least. I can't fucking wait for this album.

[@pineapplepeanuts]

I didn't say it was all bland. Haxprocess is the best song on that album, IMO. But there were way more moments on that record that were dull than most of Opeth's work. Wouldn't say they blow this out of the water.

[@DeathMetaI]

Nailed it with this comment, pineapplepeanuts =]

[@hugodomingues1792]

Well I sure as hell was MOVED by the "The Lotus Eater"-"Burden"-"Porcelain Heart" movement on Watershed. But I do agree on everything else regarding this latest album.

[@pineapplepeanuts]

Biophonism And for people like you, bragging about your supposed artistic understanding is just a kind of masturbation for the ego. Art is subjective - one person's masterpiece is another's snorefest. If you think Heritage is amazing, more power to you. Bad way to voice your opinion though.

[@pineapplepeanuts]

Just wanna amend this inane comment I made years ago lol. I might of been drunk when I posted that. Don't drink and surf, kids. Its true those songs I listed are amazing. But yeah, every album that Opeth has released has amazing moments. Can't imagine how difficult it is to deliver time and time again like this band does. Put it this way - Opeth is one of the very, very few bands at this point that I still pay attention to when it comes to new releases. My appreciation for them continues to grow over time.

[@darkamyntas3820]

Looking forward to this album; it seems like it will be more refined and focused than Heritage (which was great but felt a bit all over the place for me). I think a lot of people don't understand that if Opeth right now made another melodic death metal album it would probably be soulless and kind of subpar because Mikael isn't really "feeling it." Instead of people complaining about this just go listen to something else? There's a ton of amazing shit out there that I can't be mad at Opeth or anything else for changing styles. Unless they started rapping or adding pop... only guy who might pull that off is Devin Townsend. lol

[@dvrds]

***** You shouldn't predict or expect anything man. Nobody could predict Heritage, it just came out and blew everybody out, that's how things roll. The only thing that I know for a fact is that all predictions, for this new album and the future of the band, will always be inaccurate.

[@darkamyntas3820]

Now that it's out... legit album all around. I feel it's missing epic segments like Folklore's ending on Heritage but as an overall album I enjoyed this a lot better. "Faith in Others" is possibly the best track imo.

[@aurelienbaroiller2474]

Alex Cambron I strongly agree with you. After one focused listening only (and a few others while working) I consider the strongest pieces to be Eternal Rains will come and Faith in others. I found most of the pieces very reminiscent of Hex Omega, in the sense that they seem to be build around creating a strange/ominous atmosphere more than being lyrical like I always considered "old opeth" to have been (from morningrise to Watershed included). Faith's has it all right with it's emphasis on touching melody, focus on Mikael's voice and the synth, and the really parsimonious use of the guitars. I hope they try more of this for the albums to come. Also agree with you that this album is way better than heritage, that was nice but had "transition album" written all over it, with its many lenghts. Still, gotta admit, as much as I define myself as someone who's favorite music is progressive rock from the seventies, I feel sad that so many groups have abandonned their metal vibe for an all-out "return" to the seventies prog rock : Opeth first and foremost, but also Dark Suns, Cynic (well, not so much a return to the seventies, but their last album is about as close to metal as Pale Comunion), etc. Still, all great bands, and eager to hear what they'll come up with next !

[@mattmassie2530]

[@Noxious922]

It has always become common for bands who have put their time in, and made their mark in infamy a legendary one, to tend steer off as they get grow older and wiser to make their music more towards their personal tastes, and not to give in to surrounding public opinions and pressure to continue making music to appease them and not themselves. If you watch the Opeth documentaries and interviews of Mike, you will find out how he has an insanely sized record collection of early rock albums. A lot of it abstract unknown bands from the early 70's and 80's. He spends hours in that room with his headphones on, in his chair, listening to the music in it's original format and becoming inspired about it. How many of us (musicians) have done the same in a way to the bands we like? Just some food for thought here on the subject. Let creation be, creation. Thank you.

And some years ago… back on the days when I was discovering metal, Opeth was the band that definitely made me a metal fan. It seems that nowadays the've decided to close the page of metal to start with new music and I couldn't be more glad about it. As far as I can see, Opeth will always be my favorite band.

Symbolic (Death) or Altars Of Madness (Morbid Angel), there is no discussion about this, but, music is in constantly change, music needs to experiment and innovate, if not, what?

Thank you for all of your profoundly immortal music. Each and every album is a bliss to my ears. Thank you!

This song has a gallop and good vocals, so you can pace yourself listening to it. The leed work is classic Randy Rhodes style metal. I love it.

I love this song. One of my favourites on this fantastic album. I enjoy all their albums simply because I like a lot of different music and couldn't find something I didn't like until yet.

I used to listen to Opeth's songs over and over again. Back in the days, the harmony of lyrics and instrumental parts was perfect. Whenever I listen, I felt something different. Even on the same songs, I felt many things. The composition was so creative that I still can listen to them without being bored. After Heritage came out, I thought "okay, its something new and I should be open-minded and be adapted." but right now, I'm kinda sad that I won't get what I used to get from Opeth's songs when I was a kid. I didn't like Opeth because of growls, solos or whatever. I like Opeth because they can practically tell a story as like as you are within the story, living it. I like Opeth because the can extract emotions out of your head and transfer it to your heart. This is okay if compared to today's music market, but I can't feel the uniqueness of Opeth's songs in this. I can't find many feelings like I used to find on the older songs. Just my humble opinions...

The guitar solo's melodic lines and structure brings to mind Jens Johansson's keyboard playing (!) Amazing work!

Anything Opeth does is the shit. So don't come around saying that they can't change their style , they're the same. U just want growls??go back then, to one of their old shit. They evolve. In my personal opinion I love the growls, gives a kick to the song. But their lyrics are as dark and cool and nostalgic and searching for answers and observing the world, as always. It's just different. Try screaming/singing their songs. Now do it for years. They still express the same idea, that's why they're Opeth. All their albums about change. Letting go. This is their other side.

[@Mikeoneus]

"Anything Opeth does is the shit" Absolute nonsense. So, what? If the next Opeth album consists entirely of Mikael sneezing into a microphone while reggae plays quietly in the background it'll be just as good as Still Life and Ghost Reveries simply because it's Opeth?

nevmin Against a wall, presumably.

[@PapaEmeritusII]

You must be another new fan of the band, talking like they know their shit. 1994-2012 was nothing short of incredible, with SEVERAL successful changes in sound. Heritage was the first album I didnt enjoy from them, which sucks, because they were my favorite band for over a dozen years.

[@PapaEmeritusII]

Mikeoneus I agree, blind fanboyism is fucking lame. I spend my money and my time on these guys, and I most definitely can form an opinions...and it's that Steve Wilson needs to get out of Mikael's head. Mike lost his balls over the last few years. Shame.

[@dahpha5965]

CannibalCorpse909 More so "Low-IQ, Metal elitists", just saying. I've been listening to Opeth a very long time, along with Steve Wilson's work, what is there not to like? I'm sure there will be a song in this album with growls. Not like you understand the lyrics, anyway. You just want to hear growls. Pretty sad, imo. Go listen to Storm Corrosion, try to tell everyone that Steve Wilson is a bad influence, you would not be able to.

[@checkitoutguys1]

WOW the album is coming a day before my birthday! yay opeth!

[@allensaunders449]

I'm new to this band hard to imagine they were death metal i like the clean vocals and overall sound and i also hear a slight middle eastern soung slight but there

[@marcedwards6188]

I love the new sound, really enjoyed their early stuff! This shows a lack of fear & the ability to embrace new & exciting directions! Well done I say!

[@BENSHlN]

That guitar solo part though.

[@MasterOfShuppet]

I have to say, I'm loving this track, can't wait for the new album!
