OPETH’S MIKAEL ÅKERFELDT STEPS OUT OF COMFORT ZONE FOR BILINGUAL NEW RECORD

*IN CAUDA VENENUM DUE OUT SEP 27TH FROM NUCLEAR BLAST*

In the 3rd trailer for their highly-anticipated 13th album, In Cauda Venenum, OPETH’s revered songwriter and vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt talks about stepping outside his comfort zone to record at Park Studios with Stefan Boman, the decision to record the record in Swedish and English and mastering the album with Geoff Pesch at Abbey Road. The new trailer arrives today, just under two months before the release of In Cauda Venenum on September 27th via Moderbolaget / Nuclear Blast.
