Opeth

Über Opeth

Opeth are a Stockholm band who became one of metal's most ambitious and respected acts. Led by Mikael Akerfeldt, they fused death metal's heaviness with progressive rock, folk, and jazz, often within a single long-form track. Albums like Blackwater Park made them a critical benchmark for the genre's artistic possibilities. In recent years they have leaned fully into 1970s-style progressive rock, including the 2024 album The Last Will and Testament.
