The 6th album by the Death Metal/Prog/Melodic band Opeth.

As usual with Opeth, this album attempts some new things, having merely one track with an acoustic guitar and also introducing a piano/synth to the Opeth sound.

Overall, the album has more of a Death Metal feel to it than previous albums (i.e. Still Life). However, it does not divirge from Opeth's strong style of well-crafted riffs and subtle combinations of melodic and Death Metal vocals.

Another excellent album by Opeth, and with the "Deliverance" tour due to start in 2003 there will be an excellent oppourtunity to see it live.
