Opeth - Sorceress

I guess every time Opeth release a new album the “metal community” kinda makes a buzz about it – let alone the continuous advertising by the label and all those around the band. Opeth keep “progressing” but not in a good way; that way will lead them to “extinction” eventually. They have nothing to do with the band they once were and every new album takes them far away from the “principles” they used to have. Well, the band’s leader, Mikael makes some “significant” statements from time to time but they mostly remind the ones of the politicians… they never stay true to them!
