About

Over 25 vinyl releases including 180g audiophile LPs; originals like 'Blackwater Park' and 'The Last Will And Testament' draw collector interest.

Opeth originates from Stockholm and has developed a distinct style combining heavy, aggressive death metal elements with progressive rock influences. Their music frequently juxtaposes guttural vocals and intense instrumental sections with softer, melodic, and acoustic segments. This diverse approach is evident across their 25+ vinyl records, which include both studio and live albums spanning genres from metal to prog rock. Key releases have been pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl with gatefold sleeves, often sought after by audiophiles and collectors.

The band's catalog features notable albums like 'Blackwater Park' (Music For Nations), 'Ghost Reveries' and 'Heritage' on Music On Vinyl, and recent works such as 'The Last Will And Testament' released in 2024.
