Opeth’s Heritage will likely forever stand as one of the most polarising albums of all time. The shift from death metal to 70s style prog rock, coupled with a complete lack of harsh vocals from frontman Mikael Akerfeldt understandably left a lot of fans unsatisfied. Not only that but the change in genres was not handled in the best way. While I enjoyed the album overall, it seemed far more scattered and aimless than the band’s previous works. With that in mind many fans aren’t too excited for the release of their upcoming 11th studio album, Pale Communion.
