In this Masterclass, progressive death metal legend Mikael Åkerfeldt discusses and demonstrates several songs from Opeth’s Watershed as well as Still Life, the album that grabbed the attention of producer Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree. His collaboration with the band produced their next three albums, including the melancholy Damnation – represented here by ‘Hope Leaves’ and ‘Ending Credits.’
