A 'cult' band with a mass following, the band's last five albums
have made the top 30 in the UK. Still active, recording and
touring. Completely unique - no other band mixes progressive rock,
metal and jazz in the same way. There has never been - and never
will be - another band like Opeth. Formed in Stockholm, Sweden
circa 1989, their roughly thirty-year career showcases a melding of
diverse influences; a prevailing commitment to songwriting and
instrumental excellence; and unwaveringly chameleonic vision - no
matter the cost - that's unmatched by any of their stylistic peers.
Be it their most unashamedly brutal early LPs, their multifaceted
and near-faultless mid-period opuses, or their somewhat polarizing
recent glimpses into macabre 1970s-esque prog/jazz rock
eccentricity, mastermind Mikael Akerfeldt and company continuously
create records that push themselves, their audience, and
progressive music as a whole, forward. The result is easily among
the most extraordinary, dependable, and laudable legacies in modern
metal. Using a meticulously crafted mixture of original analysis
and behind-the-scenes research, this book digs into all facets of
Opeth's output to discover how they innovated and evolved with
practically every release. After all, each 'observation' - from
their 1990s black metal classics (Morningrise and My Arms, Your
Hearse) and 2000s progressive death metal masterpieces (Blackwater
Park and Ghost Reveries) to their stunning progressive rock/jazz
fusion excursions of the 2010s (Pale Communion and In Cauda
Venenum) - found Opeth ceaselessly harvesting a one-of-a-kind
catalogue that's still remarkably influential and impressive
