Description
The eighth full-length album Ghost Reveries by Swedish metal band Opeth is the epitome of what metal should be: a work of art. The album is filled with heavy, intricate, and meticulously performed monster guitar riffs, like in “The Grand Conjuration” and “Ghost Of Perdition”.
As the band’s main composer, Mikael kerfeldt successfully managed to transfer his dark emotions into all those twisted solos, surrounded then by a wall of even thicker riffs. He’s blending classical clean harmonies with guttural growls.
Opeth’s technical capacity marks them out from both their followers and their peers and accordingly Ghost Reveries is definitely one of the greatest metal albums ever recorded. This album is a culmination of everything Opeth has worked toward throughout their career. It’s fully realized, stunningly beautiful, and emotionally fragmented.
Ghost Reveries is available on 180 gram audiophile black vinyl.
