Stockholm, Sweden-based progressive rock \/ metal group Opeth have released an official animated music video for the English language version of the track \u2018Universal Truth\u2019 (\u2018Ingen Sanning \u00c4r Allas\u2019). Created by Jess Cope, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Opeth issued 13th full-length studio album In Cauda Venenum<\/em> on September 27th, 2019 through Moderbolaget \/ Nuclear Blast Entertainment.<\/p>\n

In Cauda Venenum<\/em> was recorded in 2018 at Stockholm\u2019s Park Studios. In Cauda Venenum<\/em> will be released in two versions, in both Swedish and English languages.<\/p>\n

Frontman Mikael \u00c5kerfeldt commented: \u201cFor us, at this stage with In Cauda Venenum<\/em>, heaviness isn\u2019t guitars tuned down with screaming vocals over the top. That\u2019s not necessarily what I call \u2018heavy\u2019 music these days. I can listen to Korn and say, \u2018Okay, that\u2019s heavy.\u2019 But it doesn\u2019t really mean anything to me. I mean, I catch up on things in magazines or online. I read about bands that have the \u2018heaviest record ever,\u2019 and I\u2019m not too impressed by that. Okay, it\u2019s cool but what does it say? What does it mean? It\u2019s an impossible mission, to be the heaviest. That\u2019s been done before. Over time, I got tired of that tag. Of course, when I was younger, it meant everything to me. I was always on the pursuit for heaviness in my youth, trying to find the next level of heaviness. First it was death metal, then it was bands like Meshuggah, but heaviness is now more about emotions, heavy chord progressions, music that has feelings. Heaviness doesn\u2019t mean Meshuggah anymore, although indeed they\u2019re a fucking heavy band. I\u2019m not trying to tap into that anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
