1682 - OPETH §3 2024

The song "§3" is part of *The Last Will and Testament*, the fourteenth studio album by the Swedish progressive metal band Opeth. This record marks the return of death metal growls and is a concept album set in the aftermath of World War I. "§3" features lyrics dedicated to revealing family secrets, set against somber, conspiratorial chords that heighten uncertainty across the board; this builds into a chilling, vibrating crescendo—fueled by the distortions and tunings of Progressive Death Metal and shifting time signatures—that shapes the atmosphere of a story unfolding in a state of confusion and ambiguity.
