Showing a clear understanding for dynamics, melody \u0026amp; intricate composition from the offset, word of this little-known but already hotly-tipped group had spread quickly through the underground, with portions of the metal press rightly hailing this bold new combination of progressive metal, death metal \u0026amp; touches of black metal as a sign of a band destined for great things. Highly revered by fans \u0026amp; extreme metal press alike, Opeth released a further two albums of similar depth \u0026amp; quality, whilst still looking for their big, defining breakthrough moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Still Life’ was Opeth’s fourth career studio release, \u0026amp; first outing for Peaceville. Armed with renewed enthusiasm, the band delivered a flawless gem of an album.
