@@Denvercoder Eminem has no country influence. 70s prog has always influenced Opeth and they were going to go all in and do something in this direction eventually. It's great for what it is and the albums from here have only gotten better. Dark progressive rock is my favorite genre of any music so I am biased but they do it justice. Bands need to evolve
Heritage is how I discovered Opeth. Today I own all of their records and love their older stuff, but to me this album is just something else.... Something special, a spellbind.
Listening to those album at work, and for a long time I never realized this but this album deserves a good sound system, there so much depth an diversity in it that is easily missed if you’re not paying attention or it’s muffled by bad speakers. Also play this shit loud... the quiet parts are hauntingly brilliant but easily missed if it too quiet.
When "Heritage", first came I never thought of the possibility of head banging to the sound of flutes, but when I listened to this song, I could not fight the urge to do anything other than that.
All these years down the road and we are coming back to what started this paradigm shift in both sound and path for Opeth. Just love it. Big time fan since 2006 :)
Another song that cuts into my heart. But, don't get me wrong, I love it. It helps me to be alive, and helps keep me driven. One of the greatest bands of all.
What I find interesting about this is that you can actually hear a story going on in the intro of the song. For me it is something like more medieval for some reason in a market where Famine presented as one of the horse men evil laughs then opens a door which indicates that he enters a house and spreads disease. Not only physical but also sickness in the relationships amongst the family members and then the song starts.
The intro and the following piano part is brilliant. "I can't see your face, And I can't breathe your air" for some reason reminds me of my hometown which I miss sorely
I can't see your face And I can't breathe your air So I wonder why I get cold inside When I hear your name When we meet eye to eye I will ask how and why And when guilt has its way One lesser reason to stay And I will see her cry Into the fire of our youth comes the devil again And you feel your way, feel your way Saw you standing nigh In the corner Told me that you had died And I would die when my heart was empty Become a ghost in perpetual void And neglect all reasons why
I do NOT understand why people call this their worst album . If IT is their worst, then imagine how their best would be. And YES, I made this opinion after listening to all their songs.
@@Javier-il1xi Mikael doesnt like whole early Opeth and he even considers “By The Pain I See In Others” from Deliverance their worst song, but that doesnt make those albums bad, Orchid or Morningrise is no worse than any of Opeth albums, they are unique and beautiful
🤘🏻 One of the wonders of Opeth, it's enough that in the 5:33 minute solo, the notes played are from traditional Iranian musical instruments and are more than 1000 years old!!!! 🤘🏻
For a moment I thought there was some Jethro Tull influence here, but then I came across 4:53 and said.. "Meh, it was just my imagination!". I think this album is something one has to really sit and listen. This is the first track I hear but I know it will take you through several different textures and "moods" let's hear.
I like porcupine tree, thats what brought me here. I never knew Opeth was this good. I like the death metal stuff, but this album is just more musically more advanced. IMO
How did I not realize for so long how good the drumming on this whole album is, and especially this song.... I remember it as slow and chill but its NOT
ptipana I still personally view Opeth as a Death Metal band, but this new stuff is fucking great. If I want Death Metal Opeth, I'll just go listen to Ghost Reverie or Blackwater Park. It is as simple as that. Rock the fuck on Opeth!
Quinn Windsor Correct, check out the Making of Heritage DVD (included with the special edition CD) and you'll see him playing it. MA has nothing but praise for the guy. RIP
this is immense progression. I almost gave up after the pattern of Heavy Metal / Prog became so predictable and ultimately diluted (in both directions) Thank god they are the only band to turn their back on the lucrative but ulimate dead end of the moronic Metal scene
So I buy all the records and you just make all music available online? 🤑Kidding aside this is my favorite track of this album. Hard to believe soon will be a decade listening to this.
+Peter Mayer Steven Wilson have been workiing with Opeth science Blackwater Park and he is one of the main reasons of the new mixtures Opeth makes on its sound.
True. There are lots of Oldpeth (Morningrise, Orchid and Mayh) enjoyers out there. Some are putting Morningrise/Mayh to their top 5/S Tier. Morningrise is in my top 3. Heritage is good, but nowhere near the first 3.
@@daghetto101 I'm with you there, man. 'Morningrise' is magical - my favourite Opeth album by far. One of my goals is to complete a full album cover one day.
@@pablo-arteaga That's a problem with 'progressive' music. Some bands see it as a license to haphazardly string together unrelated (or poorly-linked) ideas so they don't have to put in the effort to make a cohesive narrative. I _love_ progressive Rock and Metal. When I listen to an album, it's typically the longest song that I go to first. With that in mind, I can recognise when an epic is a genuinely well-thought-out composition - a coherent journey that is elevated by each distinct but related section - and when it's a cobbled-together mess. This is the latter.
Or is it supposed to all sort of be like an inside joke? like, we might as well all pretend to be evil, because our society has become so corrupt and the like. Honestly, Opeth never really puts that much social commentary into their music, do they? like, what are they even expressing. They play great music, but I don't always see that much depth .
+ryshenton Thinking from the genre and style of music they do, im glad they dont go for social commentaries there are a lot of other bands that do that and with style of music that suits better.... Opeth is like very medieval dark thing... i prefer Rage against to complain about society. To be sincerely to the core i think they say more trough their music that from their lyrics... wich are also great but the music is what makes em what they are
Have you heard the tune "The Lines In My Hand" from this album? It's a pretty biting social comment. Mikael does do it; you just have to look. If Opeth were a window, it'd be virtually opaque. You have to look hard, but there's FATHOMS of depth. This song is very, deeply personal, as are a lot of what he does.
Opeth have NEVER been about 'Evil' or 'Satan'. It's just DARK. Unrelentingly bleak and miserable. Songs of loss, grief, depression, betrayal and scepticism. Broken-heartedness. I've always felt that Mikael is trying to 'heal' himself with his music, like he pours all his negativity into it, so that his 'regular' life is more upbeat. This song is an absolute soul-cleaver, a deeply-personal recount of 'someone' he had lost in a bad way. It is not meant to be ironic. Opeth/Mikael do have a deep-seeded dislike of religion, particularly the Christian churches, but that doesn't make you a Satanist. It just means you have a heart, and a working brain. As for the artwork, another commenter above nailed it pretty much spot-on. Opeth's philosophy can be simply understood by the 3 'Fundamental Truths' written on the artwork for Pale Communion... the Internet will translate for you if you don't read Latin. Hope this helps.

i like old opeth, and i like this. i've never understood why people can't just like both. this is a good retro-inspired psychedelic prog rock album.
Simulated Rain I deff get more into this the older I get. 🤷🏼♂️
feels like king crimson
So if you liked Eminem and all of a sudden he came out with a country album you be like, “YES! Let’s go. This is dope!!!”?

The flute in this track is *so* menacing, and well placed. I love it. The heavy parts with the flute are so ominous and evil!
This intro will live forever in my head, and I'm pleased to carry such a memory.
The intro sounds like moldau from the composer smetena.
Heritage is how I discovered Opeth. Today I own all of their records and love their older stuff, but to me this album is just something else.... Something special, a spellbind.
Heritage was my first Opeth album as well. No regrets. Still haven't listened to Blackwater Park yet though...
@@sidneystokes6882 give it a listen, bro. No regrets 😎
The fact that they uploaded their entire album on youtube is fucking awesome.
someone was gonna do it anyway, so better them i guess

Tom McSorley Jr. ditto.
Listen to Björn J:son´s "Billathi Askara" (Bike Voyage II) ...
Brokenscam clearly you have never listened to folk metal.
4:53 - SOOOOO HEAVY
I love Opeth, Orchid and beyond. Simple as that.
All these years down the road and we are coming back to what started this paradigm shift in both sound and path for Opeth. Just love it. Big time fan since 2006 :)
This fucking track, man. Definitely one of my all time favourites.
+Javier Bustos (Deadletters90) Meh, definitely their most experimental track, I like it for that.
@EricMetalhead ...And then there was "Strange Brew" ! :D
@@EricMetalheadBecause Opeth were NEVER experimental before this right?
@@xXAscendingPhoenixXx He clearly didn't say that. In fact he implied the opposite by saying "most".
This and Folklore are the two coolest songs on Heritage, if you ask me.
Couldn't agree more. That drum fill and eerie release sell thsi song to me
Folklore and Haxprocess are my 2 favs. But Famine is a goodun
If you ask me "I Feel the Dark" and "The Devil's Orchard" are cooler.
But hey, the entire album kills....if you ask me. ✌
That bass riff in Lines in my Hand though... I feel those three tracks are the best of the album.
Haxpröcess
Another song that cuts into my heart. But, don't get me wrong, I love it. It helps me to be alive, and helps keep me driven. One of the greatest bands of all.

Opeth: Thank You.
GUIDO BOTTAZZO
They did thank you?
I need more Opeth with wind instruments. That flute reminds me to Jethro Tull, and I love them too.
That riff from 4:53 is fuckin' heavy!
Sickest part of the entire record
I can't see your face
And I can't breathe your air
So I wonder why I get cold inside
When I hear your name
When we meet eye to eye
I will ask how and why
And when guilt has its way
One lesser reason to stay
And I will see her cry
Into the fire of our youth comes the devil again
And you feel your way, feel your way
Saw you standing nigh
In the corner
Told me that you had died
And I would die when my heart was empty
Become a ghost in perpetual void
And neglect all reasons why
I do NOT understand why people call this their worst album . If IT is their worst, then imagine how their best would be. And YES, I made this opinion after listening to all their songs.

thanks for recommending quidam. they are sick!!
That is what good music does.. The many layers do not become apparent until the Nth listening.. That is what makes this Art.
This album is called Heritage for a reason🤗
It's Björn J:Son Lindh
Favorite Opeth album. And yes I am following them since Still Life days.
RIP Björn J:son Lindh. I discovered your music through this song. Too late. 😑
The bit with the percussion at the beginning reminds me of Diablo 2. Lovely tune and album.
hell yeah
amazing memories
2024 checking in. Still one of Opeth’s greatest songs. Carry on.
Massively underrated album, because the transformation surprised people. But the music is incredible...
I like porcupine tree, thats what brought me here. I never knew Opeth was this good. I like the death metal stuff, but this album is just more musically more advanced. IMO
the piano in here is so magic ! Hypnotics riffs!
That riff around 5 minutes is just awesome!
This track has a black sabbath feel to it. Love it.
Into the fire of our youth comes the devil agaaaaaaaaain
i dont see anything wrong with this album, been listening to a few tracks so far so good!
Best song off this album by far
A Godamn Masterpiece!!
How did I not realize for so long how good the drumming on this whole album is, and especially this song.... I remember it as slow and chill but its NOT
Love the percussion in the intro
The great Alex Acuna! (Weather Report...and many others) ;)
Wow, this is some really raw prog. I love it!
Just came back from Rock Am Ring 2014, saw them live there. Totally gonna get this album.
the new opeth are like the ultimate new band...this progress...so great!!
the drums at 4:50 are orgasmic
those 6 dislikes are some fanatics who hated the fact that there is no growls in this album

@@Dr_Andracca lol Blackwater Park and Ghost Reverie is not death metal albums, they are Prog Metal. I'd consider 'Orchid' and 'Morningrise' as death.
@CaptainCatsu
No.
nice atmosphere
4:47
Masterpiece
I love opeth so much
Is Björn Johansson Lindh playing on this track? And does anyone know why/how he died in December last year? A phenomenal musician.
5 secs in google and I found the answer, he died cause braincancer, but I don't know if he is playing in this track.

Fantastic track!
The Encoutres: Sabbath & Jethro Tull!@Mazing!
Joy... There is no such thing as useless music. You dont have to like it but, its not useless.
Hahaaaaaa so heavy. Just sounds plain evil. Love it. Demented & macabre at its finest.
fucking alex acuña on perc... absolute monster
Thanks Opeth..
beautiful
some mystery here, i love it.
2:06 when you’re blind
opeth is what i need to hear
Very cool but I think it should have more flute . but maybe I think that way since I'm a flutist
For years I considered the song Folklore to be the masterpiece of Heritage. This song might rival it, if not surpass it!
What bad-ass guitar riffs in this! Reminds me of old ELP... but a lot heavier :)
Sensacional ♥️ Adorei demais!!!
4:54 the leaf village is under attack
this is immense progression. I almost gave up after the pattern of Heavy Metal / Prog became so predictable and ultimately diluted (in both directions)

The beginning sort of reminded me of the Shadow Temple theme from Zelda Ocarina of Time.. lol
Brittany Nicole hahahaha spot on

The beginning is similar to Smetena’s The Moldau. Not exactly the same but fairly close.
can you also add songs from old albums?
I like both... Steven Wilson and Opeth... seperatly....
its good... the whole album... but this is just to "wilsonized"
+Peter Mayer Steven Wilson have been workiing with Opeth science Blackwater Park and he is one of the main reasons of the new mixtures Opeth makes on its sound.
