Opeth - Mikael Åkerfeldt steps out of comfort zone for bilingual album

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 album in Swedish and English and mastering it 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.
