Ghost Reveries is the eighth full-length studio album release of Swedish progressive death metal band Opeth. It is their first album since signing with Roadrunner Records and musically, is similar in-style to Deliverance. However, it retains the atmospheric elements of Damnation with clean vocals that carry a more gothic quality than what was heard in previous efforts.
Ghost Reveries occupies an important fulcrum in the band's membership. In addition to being the first album by Opeth to include keyboardist Per Wiberg as a "permanent" member (although Wiberg contributed keyboard work to Opeth's live performances starting around the time of Deliverance), it is the last Opeth album to include drummer Martin Lopez and long-time guitarist Peter Lindgren.

Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or reveries:
“A fig for
The seal of fire,
Death hairy-heeled, and the tapped ghost in wood,
We make me mystic as the arm of air,
The two-a-vein, the foreskin, and the cloud.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“I undertake the same project as Montaigne, but with an aim contrary to his own: for he wrote his Essays only for others, and I write my reveries only for myself.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
