Opeth - The Last Will And Testament (2024)
Opeth's fourteenth studio album, The Last Will and Testament, released on November 22, 2024, marks a significant return to their progressive death metal roots. This concept album, set in the post-World War I era, explores themes of family secrets and inheritance, reminiscent of their earlier work on Still Life (1999). Notably, the album reintroduces death growls, absent since Watershed (2008), and features collaborations with Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, who contributes flute and spoken word segments. Critics have lauded the album for its intricate compositions and seamless blend of heavy and melodic elements, solidifying Opeth's status as pioneers in the progressive metal genre.
