English version of the remixed & remastered
"Connoisseur Edition" of In Cauda Venenum.
"How do you transfer a state of the art Pro-Tools
recording, with a zillion different tracks, on to a piece of
plastic and generate sonic greatness?? With lockdown,
OPETH's mastermind Mikael Akerfeldt finally found the
time to unite ?a team of musical nerds', as he describes
it, to ponder over the question, how they could produce a
master of ?In Cauda Venenum' that sounds as surpreme
as Akerfeldt's favourite records from the past? After
heated discussions and trying out many different methods
that never seemed to fully please the Swedish master's
ear, they transferred the album to magnetic tape and then
cut the vinyl lacquers from the tape itself, to create a
warm, powerful and yet dynamic master that is now
available in form of their In Cauda Venenum's
"Connoisseur Edition?.
There are few bands that can or will match Sweden's
OPETH. Since forming in the tiny Stockholm suburb of
Bandhagen in 1990, the Swedes have eclipsed
convention, defiantly crushed the odds, and, most
importantly, crafted 13 stunningly beautiful, intrinsically
intense albums to become one of the biggest progressive
rock/metal bands on the planet; whether that be live or on
record. Ask any OPETH fan. Enquire with any band that's
shared the proverbial pine with the Swedes. Or, get a
label representative to talk OPETH. They'll all tell you the
same thing: OPETH are peerless. And they're only getting
better, even after selling more than two million records
and even hitting the #1 in the German album charts with
their album "Sorceress? in 2016
