Opeth - Pale Communion [180g Gold Colored Vinyl]

Limited edition of 3000 numbered copies on gold coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Pale Communion is the eleventh studio album by Swedish progressive metal band Opeth. The album was released in 2014. The album was produced by Mikael Ã…kerfeldt and mixed by Steven Wilson. Mikael Ã…kerfeldt said of the album, "I wanted to do something more melodic with this album, so there's stronger vocal melodies and more melodies overall for this album." Greg Kennelty of Metal Injection said the album does not contain "growls or death metal vocals" and he described the album as "the missing link between Damnation and Ghost Reveries or if Heritage was written directly after Ghost Reveries without Watershed having ever existed". AllMusic's Thom Jurek has compared the album to Deep Purple's In Rock and King Crimson's early music.
