Opeth’s Blackwater Park can be considered as their answer to The Beatles’ Revolver, both uncompromising and experimental, but equally commercially viable and unfuckwithable masterpieces. Twenty years on, Blackwater Park remains a breath-taking piece of work, dense with extraordinary melodic moments, spine-tingling atmospherics and agile but crushing heaviness. It is also arguably still the most cherished album in the Swedish metallers illustrious catalogue as a rising progressive influence kicked open prog’s ornate doors, fed death metal through the cosmic kaleidoscope and introduced a generation of music nerds to a world of limitless musical possibilities. After four albums of imaginative

Last FM Information on Opeth
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Opeth is a Swedish progressive metal band from Stockholm, formed in 1990. The band incorporates elements of folk, blues, classical, and jazz into its compositions, alongside influences from death metal, particularly in their early works. Their music often includes acoustic guitar passages, Mellotron use, death growls, and dynamic shifts.
Opeth has experienced several lineup changes, with every original member eventually replaced. Mikael Åkerfeldt, lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter, has led the band since the departure of founder David Isberg in 1992. The band made few live appearances during the period of their first four albums, but began extensive world touring following the release of "Blackwater Park" in 2001 and has continued with subsequent tours.
The band has released fourteen studio albums, four live DVDs, four live albums (three associated with DVDs), and two box sets. Their debut album, "Orchid", was released in 1995. With their eighth album, "Ghost Reveries" (2005), Opeth achieved chart success in several countries, including a Top Ten position in Sweden. Their ninth album, "Watershed" (2008), reached number one on the Finnish albums chart and number 23 on the US Billboard 200. As of 2009, Opeth had sold over 1.5 million albums and DVDs worldwide, including 300,000 SoundScan sales of "Blackwater Park", "Damnation", and "Deliverance" in the United States. Their fourteenth studio album, "The Last Will and Testament" (2024), won the Swedish Grammis award for Best Hard Rock/Metal.
