Opeth at Volkshaus Zurich

Opeth is a Swedish progressive metal band from Stockholm, formed in 1989. The group has been through several personnel changes, including the replacement of every single original member. Lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Mikael Åkerfeldt has remained Opeth's primary driving force since the departure of original vocalist David Isberg in 1992.

Opeth has consistently incorporated progressive, folk, blues, classical, and jazz influences into its usually lengthy compositions, as well as strong influences from death metal, especially in their early works.

Opeth have released twelve studio albums, three live DVDs, three live albums (two that are in conjunction with DVDs), and two boxsets.

On May 22, 2019, the band announced their thirteenth studio album, In Cauda Venenum, due for release in the third quarter of 2019.

Mikael comments "Well, Skid Row made that album, 'Slave To The Grind' (great LP!) and that’s what we (all) are. The new album is finished and it’s called 'In Cauda Venenum' and of course there’s a tour planned in support of this. I'm very much looking forward to this. We’ll play something old, something new, something horrible and something true. Take care until then….well, after 'then' too."

Recorded in 2018 at Stockholm's Park Studios, 'In Cauda Venenum' will be released in two versions, in both Swedish and English languages. Various physical & digital formats will be available, with a release date and further details announced during 2019.
