Dragon Fire: Opeth – §3
Prog metal masters, Opeth, have dropped a new animated video for Paragraph 3.
I think we’re all aware that when Opeth returned to their heavier vocal style, they saw a resurgence in interest. Having first picked up on the band back around Blackwater Park, their latest platter, The Last Will And Testament certainly grabbed the ear at SDM.
Now, in celebration of the record’s one-year anniversary, they unveil a brand-new animated video for §3, created by Absynthe Moon Media. While this particular track is of the more melodic variety, we still think it’s pretty neat. Watch it for yourselves!
The animated music video for §3 returns to the central family story at the heart of the album.
Set during the reading of a 1920s patriarch’s will, the video captures the shifting relationships and subtle tensions that shape the storyline, while allowing viewers to interpret the finer details for themselves.
Guided by Mikael Åkerfeldt’s story and concept, the visual narrative enhances the album’s core themes: identity fractured by lies, legacies built on instability, and the slow unraveling of those who once believed they understood their place within the family. The result is a stirring and immersive complement to one of Opeth’s most ambitious works.
