The Candlelight Years

The Candlelight Years is the second box set by Swedish progressive metal band Opeth. It compiles their first three albums Orchid, Morningrise, and My Arms, Your Hearse, originally released on Candlelight Records. Although the albums have been released (and even re-released) before, this was the first time they have been collected in one set. It also marks the first time the albums were released in Japan.

The box set was released on 28 June 2008 and is presented in fold-out digipak packaging. This edition was limited to 2000 copies. The set was re-released on 25 August 2009 in a standard 3-disc jewel casing.
