My Arms, Your Hearse by Opeth

Album cover for My Arms, Your Hearse - Opeth

My Arms, Your Hearse is the third studio album by Opeth, released in August 1998. The record marks a large stylistic change from their previous release, Morningrise, especially production-wise. All of its songs are shorter than ten minutes, whereas on the last album, every song exceeds this length. It was also Opeth's first album to be simultaneously released in Europe, through Candlelight Records, and the United States, through Century Black. The title of the album is derived from the lyrics of the song "Drip, Drip" by the band Comus. The album is dedicated to Lee Barrett (of Candlelight Records).
