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:
“The ghost of the heart of manred Cain
And the more murderous brain
Of Man, still redder Nero that conceived the death
Of his mother Earth, and tore
Her womb, to know the place where he was conceived.”
—Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)
“I undertake the same project as Montaigne, but with an aim contrary to his own: for he wrote his Essays only for others, and I write my reveries only for myself.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
