Late last week, we published our glowing track-by-track review of the new Opeth album, Sorceress and fellow writer Jeremy Ulrey described the track "Will O The Wisp" thusly:

["Will O The Wisp" is] a folksy acoustic number featuring some mid-song bluesy soloing. "Will O the Wisp" looks nostalgically back to the stripped down experimentation of Damnation somewhat, and essentially acts as a somber buffer between the heavier workouts bookending it.

You can also hear the first single, the title track "Sorceress" right here. Having had the album for a little bit, my standout track so far is "Sorceress 2" because I really dig the Pink Floyd vibes on it.

Pre-order Sorceress on Amazon for $10.49. The album comes out September 30th via Nuclear Blast.
