The Porcelain Heart mp3 represents the most traditional Opeth effort off their Watershed album, but it has its share of surprises like the soft lullaby-esque verses backed only by an acoustic guitar at the beginning of the track. The sound shifts sharply in the middle of the song to the kind of Opeth crescendo we know so well, but gets soft and atmospheric again at end of tune.
It’s not often that a band greets the beginning of a commercial breakthrough with a change in style, but this is exactly what Opeth does in its ninth studio album, challenging its own conventions and the loyalty of its fan base. It’s much m ore progressive metal than they have ever played before and takes some getting used to, but one you do, you’ll love it.
