Opeth Blackwater Park ( RSD 2021 ) ( coloured vinyl 2LP )

Release date 19-07-2021 (originally released in 1995)

2021 RSD reissue coloured vinyl 2LP -A much-deserved and open armed 20th anniversary celebration of Opeth's magnum opus. Two decades on and still a breath-taking piece of work, dense with extraordinary melodic moments, spine-tingling atmospherics and agile but crushing heaviness, and one that saw the Swedish metallers kick open prog's ornate doors, fed death metal through the cosmic kaleidoscope and introduced a generation of music nerds to a world of limitless musical possibilities.

The reissue comes lovingly pressed onto heavyweight, audiophile approved vinyl, with a variety of deluxe finishes, and housed in a gatefold artwork sleeve, with updated liner notes and acknowledgements.  It remains a must for Opeth enthusiasts, completists and casual listeners alike.
