Since forming in the tiny Stockholm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esuburb of Bandhagen in 1990, the Swedes have eclipsed convention, defiantly crushed the odds, and, most importantly, crafted 13 stunningly beautiful, intrinsically intense albums to become one of the biggest progressive rock\/metal bands on the planet; whether that be live or on record. Ask any OPETH \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efan. Enquire with any band that’s shared the proverbial pine with the Swedes. Or, get a label representative to talk OPETH.
