The band entered Studio Fredman in Gothenburg on August 10, 2000, with no lyrics written and only three rehearsals behind them, and Fredrik Nordström engineered the sessions. Wilson sang clean and backing vocals on \"Bleak\", \"Harvest\", \"The Drapery Falls\" and \"The Funeral Portrait\" and added piano and guitar. The lineup was Åkerfeldt on vocals and guitar, Peter Lindgren on guitar, Martín Méndez on bass and Martin Lopez on drums. Göran Finnberg mastered the record, Travis Smith designed the artwork, and the title was taken from the German progressive rock band Blackwater Park.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album first came out in March 2001 on Music For Nations, the first Opeth record released in North America at the same time as the rest of the world. It did not chart in the US or the UK, and by May 2008 it had sold more than 93,000 copies in the US. Loudwire named it the top progressive metal album of all time in 2020, and Rolling Stone placed it 55th on its list of the 100 greatest metal albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Leper Affinity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBleak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Drapery Falls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide C\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirge For November\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Funeral Portrait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatterns In The Ivy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackwater Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Leper Affinity (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComplete the Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen Opeth titles at Evergreen Vinyl, this one included: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-orchid-gold-vinyl\"\u003eOrchid\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-morningrise-silver-vinyl\"\u003eMorningrise\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-my-arms-your-hearse-transparent-blue-vinyl\"\u003eMy Arms, Your Hearse\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-still-life-clear-vinyl\"\u003eStill Life\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-deliverance-crystal-clear-vinyl\"\u003eDeliverance\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-damnation-black-vinyl-20th-anniversary\"\u003eDamnation\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-ghost-reveries-black-vinyl\"\u003eGhost Reveries\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-the-roundhouse-tapes-clear-vinyl\"\u003eThe Roundhouse Tapes\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-pale-communion-metal-matters\"\u003ePale Communion\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 194398763712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.16.21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Music For Nations","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67505434919070,"sku":"EVP-1EE739AB-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/opeth-blackwater-colroedvinyl-1.jpg?v=1791331873","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/opeth-blackwater-park-white-black-smokey-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
