JORDAN BLUM To Release New Book Opeth Every Album, Every Song
29th March 2022
Acclaimed metal journalist Jordan Blum (Metal Injection, Prog Magazine, PopMatters) is pleased to announce that he will release his book Opeth Every Album, Every Song on April 29th.
Using a meticulously crafted mixture of original analysis and behind-the-scenes research, this book digs into all facets of Opeth’s output to discover how they innovated and evolved with practically every release. After all, each ‘observation’ – from their 1990s black metal classics (Morningrise and My Arms, Your Hearse) and 2000s progressive death metal masterpieces (Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries) to their stunning progressive rock/jazz fusion excursions of the 2010s (Pale Communion and In Cauda Venenum) – found Opeth ceaselessly harvesting a one-of-a-kind catalogue that remains remarkably influential and impressive.
