Scott's Metal Track of the Day - The Night and the Silent Water by Opeth

How about a little Opeth to get your weekend started off right?

Today's Metal Track is The Night and the Silent Water off of their 1996 album Morningrise. This song was written about Mikael Åkerfeldt's grandfather who had just died before the recording of this album. This song is fantastic, as expected with Opeth, with some good melodies mixed in with death metal.

If you listen to nothing else, at least skip to the 7:45 mark. Great stuff!

You sleep in the light
Yet the night and the silent water
Still so dark...
