Scott's Metal Track of the Day - The Drapery Falls by Opeth

I'm counting nocturnal hours

Drowned visions in haunted sleep

Faint flickering of your powers

Leaks out to show what you keep

Pull me down again

And guide me into

Ah ah ah

Ah ah ah

Ah ah ah

Ah ah ah

Today's Metal Track is brought to you by Swedish progressive metal legends Opeth. The Drapery Falls is the gateway song for listeners not quite into progressive death metal with growling. The transition from clean vocals to growls, a signature of Opeth songs, is on full display here. This track pulls you in for a good 5 minutes before hitting you with the first growl. It's a beautiful, brooding song and shining example of what makes Opeth the cream of the crop when it comes to metal.
