Scott's Metal Track of the Day - The Grand Conjuration by Opeth

Today's Metal Track is brought you by the mighty Opeth. This is off of the their 2005 album Ghost Reveries. This song is a great demonstration of Opeth's musicianship with super tight riffs, great solos, tempo changes, and a mixture of clean vocals and growls.

These guys are an example of everything that is right with music (Basically the opposite of Nickelback). Last year, Mikael Akerfeldt was awarded the SKAP (Swedish Composers and Lyricists) award which is given to Swedish musicians whom have significantly influenced Swedish music and culture.

Mikael stated "Through time I've been handed some awards and whatnot, but this one resonates more in me personally. No glitz and glamour, just some appreciation for what we and I do musically. It's well appreciated! Thanks - Stay Metal, Stay Brutal \m/"

We will Mikael, we will!!
