Opeth are a Progressive Metal band from Sweden who are renowned for adding varying non-metal elements to their sound and for being influenced by diverse musical styles, ranging from Jazz, 1970s Progressive Rock, Blues and Folk. Vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt is also noted for his singing, utilizing both clean and death growls, often in one song. Due to their unique blend of melodic and progressive elements, Opeth are often classified separately from more typical Death Metal acts. The name Opeth was taken from Wilbur Smith’s novel Sunbird and derived from Opet, a city of the moon named in the novel.

Comentario personal del album:
Personalmente creo que Watershed es, sin la mas mínima duda, el mejor album de Opeth desde su excelentisimo Blackwater Park de 2001. Los discos entre este periodo 2001-2008 han sido bastante buenos, especialmente destacable Damnation, pero este ultimo Watershed acaba de dejar en porretas a todos los demas albumes hechos en ese periodo. Es un album en el que visiblemente se combinan elementos progresivos y extremadamente complejos con voces, como siempre, atronadoras. Me he quedado con la estructura de "Coil", la primera cancion que actua como una especie de introducción, con la presencia de voces femeninas. Para mi, las canciones mas destacables son "The Lotus Eater" (cancion 3) y Porcelain Heart (cancion 5), dos autenticos temazos 100% Opeth. Disfrutad este impresionante disco!!
