These guys really know how to throw progressive metal on its ass and make it bleed melody and harmony. The guitar work is astounding, and although this isn't blues in any way, shape or form, there are moments that almost sound like The Allman Brothers have haunted their studio. The addition of orchestral sounds fits like a smooth silken glove in between rumbling bass lines and thundering drums. This is Opeth's Dark Side of the Moon. I have a review copy, but this fantastic album will be out later this month. Get it! Love it! Live it!
