Acclaimed metal journalist Jordan Blum (Metal Injection, Prog Magazine, PopMatters) is pleased to announce that he will release his book Opeth: Every Album, Every Song on April 29th.
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 remains remarkably influential and impressive.
