Opeth’s Blackwater Park remains one of the Gothenburg gloom squad’s most beloved releases and arguably their watershed moment. When it arrived in 2001, produced through a partnership between the Swedish band and Porcupine Tree’s Steven Wilson, singer-guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt and Co. were in peak form, stunning listeners with a swirl of progressively-minded death metal and muted, funereal folk. You can absolutely feel the emptiness and despair of a song like the aptly titled “Bleak.”
