After their successful stint heading up the ‘Defenders Of The Faith’ tour in April, OPETH are set to play a full UK tour this Winter in support of their brand new ninth studio album, ‘Watershed’, which was released on Monday.
Unsurprisingly, to those in the know, OPETH have once again picked up plaudits galore for their new opus. Check out some of the things people have been saying about the new release:
