Opeth is a Swedish heavy metal band that formed in 1990 in Stockholm. While the band has been through several personnel changes, singer, guitarist, and songwriter Mikael Åkerfeldt has remained Opeth's driving force since joining shortly after its inception.
While firmly rooted in Scandinavian death metal, Opeth incorporates progressive metal, progressive rock, folk and jazz into their usually lengthy songs. Many compositions include acoustic guitars and strong dynamic shifts, as well as growling and clean vocals. The band rarely played live to support the first four albums, though later conducted its first world tour after the release of 2001's Blackwater Park.
Opeth has released eight studio albums, two live albums, one box set, and one DVD. The band released its debut album Orchid in 1995, but did not experience commercial success until the 2003 release Damnation, which debuted at number 192 on the Billboard 200. The band's ninth studio album, Watershed, is set to be released on June 3, 2008.
