Opeth - Releasing Book In December


Remember the book Opeth have been working on? It is finally becoming a reality. The band has been hard at work these past few years to put together a coffee table style biography for release later this year and the book is now available for pre-order at this location where you find all you need to know. The book to celebrate their 25th anniversary is being published by Rocket 88 in early December 2015 in the UK. There will be two editions and both will come with two unheard exclusive tracks.




Book description: "This sumptuously illustrated oral history presents Opeth's unique tale, from their earliest days until the present, and all in glorious dark colour. Told in the first-person by Mikael, the band, their friends, former members and collaborators including designer Travis Smith, it is illustrated throughout with hundreds of previously unseen and rare photos, artworks and memorabilia. Here, for the first time, is the true and complete story of Opeth, revealed in all its terrible and magnificent glory, and illuminated by early, personal, candid, live and studio photographs."

The book comes with unreleased and unheard acoustic versions of "Atonement" and "Demon Of The Fall". These tracks are exclusive and won't be available anywhere else at any time. It is also packed with images from throughout the band's entire history with more than 100 being previously unseen and exclusive new interviews with band and collaborators.

I would consider buying it if it wasn't for the price. I remember I brought Dream Theater's biography years ago and it was very cheap compared to this.

Although this is not a biography per se.

I bet there aren't even growls in the book. These guys have just gotten so lame in recent years!

Maybe the band should open a barber shop in Stockholm while they're at it

^Indeed, and it will likely be sold out in no time. They could have asked even more if they really wanted to.

Holy shit those prices. It's only 200 pages! I love Opeth, but that's just ripping off dedicated fans, £250 for a signed book is outrageous

Yeah, pretty much what everyone is already saying... that price is insane. Bunch of freeloaders.
