Opeth have an official book in the works with two separate editions being published. The official spiel according to the band:
“The official Book of Opeth is published to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Get your name printed in the roll of Honour and become a part of the book when you preorder NOW.
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 signature edition comes with a few extras, including a clamshell case, each copy personally signed by Opeth vocalist/guitairst Mikael Åkerfeldt and limited edition art prints done by Travis Smith. Both versions also come with previously unreleased acoustic versions of “Atonement” and “Demon Of The Fall“. You can pre-order now over at Opethbook.com.
