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:
“Man was Cadaver’s masker, the harnessing mantle,
Windily master of man was the rotten fathom,
My ghost in his metal neptune
Forged in man’s mineral.
This was the god of beginning in the intricate seawhirl,
And my images roared and rose on heaven’s hill.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“A restaurant with candles and flowers evokes more reveries than the Isle of Bali does.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
