OPETH - What's Your Poison?

On May 18th, BraveWords attended a listening session for Opeth's new album, In Cauda Venenum, with a group of journalists from across Europe. We gathered in the sleepy German town of Donzdorf, the home of Nuclear Blast's head office, where frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt hosted the session and presented one of - if not the biggest - Opeth production to date. It was revealed prior to the first listen that the lyrics for In Cauda Venenum were originally written and recorded in Swedish (Åkerfeldt's mother tongue), and that Swedish and English versions of the album will be released at the same time. Both versions were presented on this particular evening, the Swedish getting the full surround-sound blow-the-roof-off treatment, the English playing in the background while we waited for our one-on-one interviews with Åkerfeldt.

In the interest of saving longtime Opeth fans precious time and energy, the answer is no, there are no death metal growls on the new album. Not a single one. So, if the idea of the band going full-on '70 progressive with rich, clean vocals (yet again) performed by Åkerfeldt is not your cup of tea, it's best that you stop reading and carry on with your day elsewhere.
