    Watershed marks a new chapter for Opeth, one that promises infinitely more than its predecessors.

    If anything, the group's latest is another musical masterpiece from a band known for putting out musical masterpieces.

    Growls and blast-beats come decorated with guitar work that explores scale after scale of diabolical pleasures. [Aug 2008, p.101]
