Pale Communion, the eleventh studio album by Swedish progressive metal pioneers Opeth, returns in this Music On Vinyl 180‑gram edition, available now as a pre‑order. Originally released in 2014, the album was produced by Mikael Åkerfeldt and mixed by Steven Wilson, marking one of the band’s most melodic and richly arranged works.

The album moves away from growls and death‑metal vocals, instead embracing progressive rock, soaring vocal melodies and intricate instrumentation. Critics have compared its sound to early King Crimson and Deep Purple, with many calling it the missing link between Damnation, Ghost Reveries and Heritage.
This edition is pressed on black vinyl and includes a 4‑page booklet, housed in classic MOV packaging.
