Swedish progressive metal biggest exponents OPETH have announced the title and track-listing of their 13th album, entitled In Cauda Venenum (Latin for The poison is in the tail) , due next fall via Moderbolaget / Nuclear Blast Entertainment.
Recorded last year at Stockholm’s Park Studios, In Cauda Venenum will be surprisingly released in two versions, in both Swedish and English languages. Various physical and digital formats will be available and additional details will be announced in the coming months.
