OPETH: More First-Week Chart Positions Revealed

September 7, 2005

OPETH's official web site has been updated with the following first-week national chart positions for the group's new album, "Ghost Reveries":

#4: Sweden (midweek chart; after two days of sales)
#11: Finland
#21: Norway
#35: Australia
#38: Netherlands
#39: Germany
#62: United Kingdom
#64: USA
#72: France
#84: Denmark

OPETH frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt had the following comment regarding the initial sales reports of the band's latest CD: "1,000 thanks to all our fans who bought 'Ghost Reveries'! We even got in the charts! See ya on tour, people!"

As previously reported, OPETH's video for the track "The Grand Conjuration", featuring a special guest appearance by STRAPPING YOUNG LAD drummer Gene Hoglan, has been posted online at Roadrun.com. The song comes off "Ghost Reveries", which was mastered on June 16 at the Cutting Room facilities in Stockholm and features a running time of 66 minutes.

OPETH utilized the services of Hoglan during the bulk of the recently completed Sounds of the Underground tour after the group's regular skinsman, Martin Lopez, went back to Sweden for treatment of a rare blood disorder he's had for most of his life. The band have since enlisted Martin Axenrot (BLOODBATH, WITCHERY, NIFELHEIM) to take over Lopez' duties until he's fully recovered.
