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:
“Bid a strong ghost stand at the head
That my Michael may sleep sound,
Nor cry, not turn in the bed
Till his morning meal come round;
And may departing twilight keep
All dread afar till morning’s back....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“A restaurant with candles and flowers evokes more reveries than the Isle of Bali does.”
