Album Notes & Community Reviews
A polarizing turning point in Opeth's career, 'Heritage' abandons the death metal growls and heavy distortion of their past for a 70s-inspired progressive rock sound. The album draws heavily on jazz fusion and folk, utilizing vintage keyboards and clean guitars. It is an adventurous, albeit controversial, homage to the golden age of prog.
