Opeth has received massive critical acclaim for their combination of progressive influences and annihilating Swedish death metal. These coloured 140g re-issues are a must for fans and collectors alike, having experienced a loving re-master by none-other than Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Amorphis, Sepultura), with guidance from Mikael Åkerfeldt.
The records have been cut at half-speed at the infamous Abbey Rd studios by Miles Showell (ABBA, Beatles), and all artwork carefully restored by Dan Capp; designed the way the band originally intended them to be.

I love all Opeth records, however “My Arms, Your Hearse” is forever my favorite. It just immediately beckons you into some dark, distant forest of metal. It’s a fucking masterpiece. Pure musical transport. 🖤

@TheJML1975 Год назад

Do have this new remaster? I’ve been looking for reviews and can’t find a single one!

@LisaBellaDonnaMusic Год назад

@@TheJML1975 I don’t own it but I have owned the original vinyl pressing, which wasn’t great and I have the last reissue LP they did of it and it’s great. Much better transfer. I have an early CD of it too and it never disappoints. I certainly hope they reissue all 3 via Abbey Road series. I’ll certainly support it. They’re excellent records. Beautifully written esoteric forest metal! 🖤

My Arms Your Hearse was my very first Opeth purchase back in, I believe, 1999. And it changed my life, my playing and my writing. Massively influential and formative record for me. It also delivered me from some rough moments, though I associate it with the best of times in my life, along with Still Life and Blackwater Park.

@greham Год назад

MAYH put them on the launch pad to record and release Still Life, to me the most achieved piece of art of the band. The emotions, so many emotions and darkness.

@moonlightreveries1459 Год назад

@@Thyberien yeah i change it from time to time. My arms your hearse is my favorite. Blackwater park, sorceress, Damnation and Morningrise all grew on me big time. They will never surpass MAYH. It’s funny because I love still life and thought it was my favorite but then, as time went on I was just amazed by my arms your hearse. It just has these moments of absolute bliss and it rolls from one track to the other so smoothly. I feel like my soul is attached to that album. I love Opeth so much. All their albums I love and I don’t differentiate between them, but if I had to pick only one that I could listen to forever, it’s my arms your hearse.

@50000metalwatts Год назад

My Arms, Your Hearse , Damnation and Watershed are my favourite Opeth albums. I've listened to My Arms, Your Hearse a lot during coronavirus. Its artwork fits the music perfectly and it gives me a majestic,haunting vibe I'm getting by listening albums like Black Sabbath and Gothic by Paradise Lost in a more extreme level. Especially, the songs April Ethereal, When, Demon of the Fall and Credence are diamonds.

@peeledapples4176 Год назад

*Don't want to be a pretentious fan but I REALLY love Orchid, Morningrise and MAYH cause of how beautiful the riffs are* *The “Thin Lizzy” aspect of harmony guitars is so beautiful man, I know they shifted to more of a heavier sound but the outro in ‘Epilogue’ is such a melancholic melodic masterpiece* *the whole album is❤❤❤*

MAYH is where Opeth became Opeth. there's a cohesion to the songs that they hadn't quite figured out on the first two records.

Morningrise is the best of the three precisely because of chess and poetry and rehearsing in total darkness. Those things are cool 😭

I remember seeing the record at FYE and thinking.... That title is fucking metal. I bought the album, played it in the car on the way home and my friends were like "I dont get it" and I kept playing it. Within a week it was our most frequented album while passing a bong around. Good times.

@theopinson3851 Год назад

This was the first album where they were more than just a really good metal band. The counterpoint harmonies on Demon of the Fall are some of the most creative and interesting things they’ve done…wild that he did that without something like guitarpro to work it out.
