Opeth have released 13 studio albums, four live DVDs, four live albums (three that are in conjunction with DVDs), and two boxsets. The band released its debut album Orchid in 1995. With their eighth studio album, Ghost Reveries (2005), the band achieved chart success in several dozen countries, including Top Ten in Sweden. [ 4 ]
- Blackwater Park (Music For Nations, 2001) Although Opeth's 90s output would earn them much acclaim, it was 2001's Blackwater Park that finally brought the band the popularity they so desperately deserved.
- Ghost Reveries (Roadrunner, 2005) There couldn't be a better sign of Opeth's establishment as one of the most exciting bands in metal than their signning to Roadrunner in 2005.
- Damnation (Music For Nations, 2003) Opeth's first experiment with ditching death metal entirely remains their finest work in the form. Unlike later releases, where it can often feel like the band are painting with a more limited palette, Damnation still keeps much of the magic and wonder of Opeth's turn-of-the-millennium sonics, embracing and exploring prog without losing some of their own identity in the process.
- Still Life (Peaceville, 1999) Opeth's time on Peaceville was brief, but yielded impressive fruit. After embracing the concept album on My Arms, Your Hearse, Opeth revisited the idea with Still Life, weaving an anti-religious narrative around immensely dynamic progressive death metal.

Let’s be clear: There are no bad Opeth albums. There are only the unfocused and messy ones and the undisputed masterpieces. Orchid falls into the former category. There are enough elements of the sound they’d later perfect on Still Life and Blackwater Park to keep fans of their later, more polished material happy. But they still sound like a band t...
A clear sign that the band and their leader, Mikael Åkerfeldt, had perfected and pushed their unique, progressive death metal sound about as far as they could, Watershed is the only Opeth record that could be described as sounding tired. Their keyboard player, Per Wiberg, who was only credited as a full-time band member on their previous record, Gh...
After Watershed, Opeth dove headfirst into straight-up progressive rock, with Åkerfeldt abandoning his characteristic death-growls for his equally distinctive, smooth baritone for the follow-up, Heritage. The songs are packed with enough gnarled, spidery riffs to remind us that we’re listening to an Opeth record, but the distortion on the guitars i...
Opeth’s second album found them really leaning into their ambitious songcraft. There are only five songs on Morningrise, but they each exceed ten minutes (including their longest track to date, the 20-minute onslaught of “Black Rose Immortal”). Each track is crammed full of acoustic interludes, whiplash rhythmic changes, and contrapuntal guitar lin...
Though Heritage would be a demarcation between the two halves of their career (or, depending on how you look at it, the middle third and the latter third), it wasn’t the first time Opeth recorded an album without death-growls and distortion. Damnation was recorded simultaneously with Deliverance, with the albums signifying the two sides of their mu...
Years active: 1990-present. Opeth is the name taken from the novel Sunbird by author Wilbur Smith and was originally spelled "Opet". In the book, Opet is the name of the location for an ancient empire which translates to the City of the Moon. Mikael Åkerfeldt and Anders Nordin, long-time friends, formed their band Eruption in 1987.
