    Come to Cannery Ballroom in Nashville for Live Music by Opeth with Katatonia on Wednesday, Sept. 28!

    In a metal scene glutted with traditionalists and bandwagon jumpers, Opeth continue to create epic, iconoclastic music, inventing the rules as they go along. From the jazz-inflected rhythms and acoustic embellishments of their 1994 debut, Orchid, to the Middle Eastern flavors and stoner metal riffs of 2001's Blackwater Park, these Swedes continue to venture where others couldn't fathom and have returned with a treasure trove of songs for their new effort, Ghost Reveries, that makes most so-called sonic adventurists seem positively one-dimensional.

    Critics and fans alike are effusive about the band's vital contribution to the world of rock. "Opeth continually expands the definition of what metal can be," says Rolling Stone. Alternative Press states "Opeth has swelling appeal - and greatness," with the Village Voice (NY) adding "Opeth carry prog atmosphere to epic extremes…most every song drags you through 10 minutes of melancholy more magnificent than the Swans or Joy Division." With journalists making comparisons to bands from Pink Floyd to The Mars Volta, it is easy to see why Opeth command such a diverse audience.
