Watershed is the ninth studio album by Swedish progressive metal legends Opeth, and a landmark in their catalog: it marks the debut of guitarist Fredrik Åkesson and drummer Martin Axenrot, while delivering a sound that bridges the death metal intensity of Still Life and Blackwater Park, the crushing riffs of Deliverance and Ghost Reveries, and the prog-classical depth of Damnation, all filtered through the classic influence of Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, and Scorpions. Artwork by Travis Smith in collaboration with Mikael Åkerfeldt.
