Opeth's latest studio album once again showcases the bands fantastic ability to blend folk and metal passages into surprisingly deep, indulgent, progressive epics.

Ghost Reveries was my first experience of Opeth and in many ways I'm glad. This album is a great introduction to the band as it is so typical of their sound. Also if you're new to Opeth or have'nt heard them properly before, do NOT be put off by the fact they are classed as death metal. I usually don't like gothic metal very much - not being a goth myself - however Opeth is one of my favourite bands, alongside Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater and Muse. Just listen to their music with an open mind. It will grow on you.

If you're already a fan, and let's face it if you're reading this you probably are then you will instantly love this album. While not quite as good as blackwater park or still life there's still plenty to love about this album. My personal favourites are Reverie, The Baying of the Hounds and Atonement. Iscolation Years is also a good song.

Overall this album is a must-have for all of you Opeth fans out there, so less time reading while you could be out buying this album!!
