Opeth's ninth studio album, Watershed (2008), is widely viewed as a pivotal transition point in the band's discography. It marks the final record to feature the band’s signature death metal growls for over a decade and serves as a bridge between their extreme metal roots and the 1970s-influenced progressive rock of their later era. Critics note that Watershed is one of Opeth's "cleanest" efforts, emphasizing acoustic textures and progressive ambiance over raw brutality. The album is known for "flying its freak flag" with oddities like the ending of "Burden," where the guitar is audibly detuned while playing, and the use of female vocals for the first time on the opening track "Coil".
