Isberg left the band in early 1992 due to creative differences and boredom. However, once Pettersson left, Lindgren returned to the guitar, his original instrument. DaFarfall was replaced by Peter Lindgren, playing the bass. Pettersson stuck with the band for another show before leaving in late 1991. After the show, DeFarfalla left to spend time with his girlfriend and did not return until 1994. For the second performance, guitarist Kim Pettersson and bassist Johan DeFarfalla joined the group. In 1991 they spent the summer rehearsing on the island of Hamnholmen outside Stockholm with their old school friend and bass player Max Jaderberg, who suggested a more prominent bass sound.Īfter their first performance, Andreas Dimeo and Nick Döring quit the band. Rehearsing in an elementary school with old equipment they had found, this lineup lasted less than a year and only played one show. Andreas Dimeo was recruited as a second guitarist.
With Åkerfeldt on guitar and David Isberg on vocals, Opeth still lacked members and needing more, they were soon joined by long-time friend of Åkerfeldt and former Eruption drummer Anders Nordin and Nick Döring on bass. Because of this, all band members except for Isberg quit, and Åkerfeldt soon joined Opeth after his band, Eruption, faltered. Isberg invited Mikael Åkerfeldt to join the band at a practice session as a bass player, but failed to inform the current bass player or any of the other members of the band. Opeth was formed in Stockholm, Södermanland, Sweden in 1990 by David Isberg. The name Opeth was taken from Wilbur Smith’s novel Sunbird and derived from Opet, a city of the moon named in the novel. Due to their unique blend of melodic and progressive elements, Opeth are often classified separately from more typical death metal acts. Vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt is also noted for utilizing both clean singing and death growls, often in the same track. Their recent releases have deviated from their traditional death metal influenced style, with more emphasis on progressive elements.
Opeth is a progressive metal band from Sweden that is influenced by many diverse musical styles ranging from jazz, 1970s progressive rock, death metal, and blues.
