Swedish prog-metal overlords Opeth have been making vast and ambitious music for about three decades now. They've spent that entire time restlessly playing around on the borders of their own sound. It's entirely possible that there's never been another band as comfortable with the idea of switching abruptly from death-metal bone-rattle to ethereal folk reverie…
