Opeth is a Swedish progressive metal band from Stockholm, formed in 1990. Their music blends elements of folk, blues, classical and jazz with the heaviness and intensity of death metal, particularly evident in their early work. The band is known for long, dynamic compositions that often feature acoustic passages, Mellotron textures, death‑metal growls and dramatic shifts in mood and structure. Opeth has undergone numerous lineup changes since its formation, with every original member eventually departing. Since 1992, Mikael Åkerfeldt—lead vocalist, guitarist and primary songwriter—has been the central creative force of the band, following the exit of founder and original vocalist David Isberg. During their first decade, Opeth made only limited live appearances. This changed after the release of Blackwater Park (2001), which led to their first world tour and established them as a major international act. They have since completed multiple global tours. The band has released fourteen studio albums, along with four live DVDs, four live albums (three paired with DVDs) and two box sets. Their debut album, Orchid, was released in 1995. With their eighth studio album, Ghost Reveries (2005), Opeth achieved significant chart success, including a Top 10 position in Sweden.
