Morningrise by Opeth

Morningrise is the Swedish death metal band Opeth's second studio album. The album exemplifies Opeth's signature style, exploring the dynamics between the combination of heavy death metal vocals and guitar parts with lighter progressive and acoustic elements. The bridge depicted on the album cover is a Palladian bridge, located in Prior Park in Bath, England. The album was released in Europe by Candlelight Records in 1996 with a sticker on a jewel case, and in the United States by Century Black, Century Media Records' black metal off-shoot a year later. It was reissued by Candlelight Records in 2000. The 2000 reissue contains a bonus track for both normal and vinyl editions released by Displeased Records. It is a demo that was recorded around the same time as this album. The bonus track was also released on the limited edition tin box in 2003 and in The Candlelight Years Box Set (where Opeth's first 3 albums are compiled) in 2008.
