Opeth is a progressive death metal band from Sweden formed in 1990 and is fronted by songwriter Mikael Åkerfeldt.

Rooted in Scandinavian death metal, Opeth later delved deep into experimentation, having since incorporated influences from jazz, progressive rock, blues, and folk crossing genre borders to create a unique blend of musical styles—most successfully with their ground-breaking Blackwater Park (2001), and their latest release Ghost Reveries (2005).

Since signing their first record-deal in 1994, the band has released eight albums, a DVD, and a box-set, but merely three singles. A notable exception in their catalog is the surprising Damnation (2003), a pure progressive rock record.

    Lindgren appears to be burned out from constant touring and felt he was not putting out what the fans deserved, so he will walk away from it all.

    Yes. Today is a great day because I finally achieve 10000 songs plays on my Last.fm Profile! 10000 is really huge number. Let’s say that one song last approximately 4 minutes. It gives 666,6 hours (funny coincidence) or over 5 weeks! I’ve been thinking about song which should I play as 10000. Finally I decided to play “To Bid You Farewell” by Opeth
