OPETH - My Arms Your Hearse (Half-Speed Remaster) · BLUE 2LP

Blue double-vinyl. Abbey road half-speed remaster.

About the album

Opeth's third studio album, "My Arms, Your Hearse", stands as a testament to their unique blend of progressive and death metal. Released initially in 1998, this album is a complex tapestry of somber melodies, intricate guitar work, and haunting lyrics that transport the listener into the depths of human emotion and existential contemplation. The band's masterful use of dynamics is on full display here; sweeping acoustic passages effortlessly give way to thunderous riffs and guttural growls that echo themes of loss and introspection.

The reissue presents a remastered version that enhances its sonic architecture without losing the raw energy and emotional intensity that made it a cult classic. Recorded at Studio Fredman under the keen eye of producer Fredrik Nordström, Opeth creates an atmosphere both ethereal and heavy—a duality that's become their hallmark. Tracks like "April Ethereal" and "Demon Of The Fall" are masterpieces that showcase Mikael Åkerfeldt's vocal prowess alongside his virtuosic guitar skills.
