 In the beginning it took me a little while to get used to the new idea of the sound , not having any screaming vocals and stuff like that . But I think the album was necessary for us to do . Maybe the band wouldn 't have continued if we hadn 't done Heritage . I think the old Opeth fans understand this album . There 's always going to be some haters , but you can 't be loved by everyone . Opeth has always been about not repeating ourself . A lot of people don 't think Heritage is metal but I think it 's metal to go somewhere people don 't expect . It doesn 't mean we 're not embracing the past sound of Opeth .
