Opeth Reveal Details For New Album 'Sorceress'

(Prog) Opeth have announced that they will release their 12 studio album, entitled "Sorceress" on September 30, and the band has revealed the final tracklist and the cover art for the effort.

Frontman Mikael Akerfeldt had the following to say: "I find it difficult to understand that we've been going on for 26 years, let alone that we've made 12 records now, all of which I am very proud of. Sorceress is no exception. I love this album, as does the whole band.

"I wrote the music over five to six months and we spent only 12 days recording it at Rockfield studios in Wales. I find that once again we've taken a step forward. Or sideways, Or backwards. Somewhere? It's different. It's extremely diverse. And if I may say so myself, extremely good.

"I feel the right to say that since I like to think I know this band better than anyone on the planet. Also, I always manage to detach myself from the record and listen as a fan. It's a fine little record." Read more including the tracklisting and cover art here.
