Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse

My Arms, Your Hearse is the third studio album by Swedish progressive metal band Opeth, originally released in August 1998 via Candlelight Records in Europe and Century Black in the US.

My Arms, Your Hearse was the first Opeth album with drummer Martin Lopez, who answered a newspaper ad that Opeth put up searching for this spot to be taken after Anders Nordin left.

Shortly thereafter the band also brought in Martín Méndez, a friend and previous bandmate of Lopez. However, Mendez did not have enough time to learn the bass parts for the album, so frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt played bass for the entire recording session.

All of the songs on My Arms, Your Hearse are shorter than ten minutes, whereas on Opeth's previous album, Morningrise, every song exceeds this length. The album is dedicated to Lee Barrett (of Candlelight Records).

The title of the album is derived from the lyrics of the song "Drip, Drip" by the band Comus.

My Arms, Your Hearse was widely praised by music critics.

This double album 2LP record set is a 2023 limited edition on transparent violet coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with an OBI strip and half speed remastered audio cut Abbey Road Studios, pressed in Europe via Candlelight and Spinefarm Records.
