OPETH - In Cauda Venenum: The Album Title (OFFICIAL INTERVIEW)

[@dissonantpulse]

We need like 72 more records from Opeth. Never retire guys

[@Psicosferico]

More than a void Mikael, Opeth would leave more than a void. You're one of the most amazing, unique, prolific and consistent bands that have ever existed in Metal. You'll be always remembered and deeply missed the day you stop. Never ever doubt that.

[@bustedhammer1212]

Couldnt have said it better.

[@diewingfeather2415]

I'm 21 from Kuwait and I just want to sincerely say that Opeth means a lot to me. All my inspiration, ideas, creativity comes from the blissful sound of Opeth. When I first heard them, it wasn't easy to get into, but I heard Orchid and gave it more than one try, then I suddenly got attached to the album and specifically "In Mist She was Standing", I have became a solid Opeth fanatic ever since, and I love them before and after, I seriously am forever grateful and I wish Mikael would never stop making music. Thank you deeply Opeth.

[@wtfisgoingonhere1076]

It’s interesting to me that Mikael talks about loneliness. I was listening to this album earlier today and part of the way through experiencing it I thought, "This music is taking me to a place where aloneness isn’t lonely. I’m in a place of beautiful, peaceful solitude." It’s unusual that current/modern music is able to transport me like that. So I appreciate that extra level to the music. It’s an album that I can become very immersed in. Wonderful experience. 🖤

[@trolllover1765]

New songs have great depth to them, looking forward to the new album.

[@thimovijfschaft3271]

Me: *just getting into Opeth* (I did know them before and listened to some songs tho. Already since I'm 15 I think.) "This might be our last album." Me: It better not be!

[@elmaangarmohamed5156]

3.03 for sure you're gonna be missed :( just thinking about that makes wanna cry :( Opeth will live forever

[@luliby2309]

I get, and agree, that the music is the core and the most important part of the album, but the title is important too. Having something that matches the record thematically adds so much to it. It'd be a bummer if the title was something stupid. Also, people keep getting confused by his "last record" comments. He just means that he's approaching every record _as if_ it were the last, so that he doesn't get complacent. Very good mindset to be in.

[@Aaronjbrowne]

Opeth members all have a very enlightening musical connection. Calm. Open mindedness. True Artists and it shows throughout all their Music, videos, Artwork and just the Whole Opeth as a collective

[@riccardocampus3870]

You are an absolute genius Mikael, I hope Opeth will stay for other 20 years and more. I listen to your music since i was 18 and now i'm 32; love everything that you've done through all these years. God bless you guys

[@codekhalil6437]

IMHO, this group has gotten better and better as time goes on. And if this indeed is their last album, then thank you Mikael and Opeth for all you've given us.

[@mandyferreira4228]

Mikael: Maybe the last... hopefully not Me: Don't dare you! Hell nooo!

[@joaquinpajaro]

We need more live albums!!

[@neilmartin3220]

Can’t wait for album. Can’t stop listening to these two songs so far. Both English and Swedish.

[@Itisjustasaganow]

Don't stop doing Music, but take your time to make when it's ready. [ waiting for the new tool's album flashbacks ]

[@AtrociousNightmare]

Void only begins to describe what you'd leave. Your music actually changes lives. I can only see sadness into a future without new music from you.

[@coreyhughes3341]

There would definitely be a void and you would be greatly missed!!! Opeth is the greatest band of all time! The day you guys aren’t making music anymore will be the saddest day of my life

[@bustedhammer1212]

Definitely would leave a void because there is no other band I love as much as opeth, so yea. It would be pretty tragic to see them go.

[@mikeygee7]

There is no other band like yours, Mikael. Of course there would be a permanent black hole in rock music the day you stop writing!

[@EvlixManiac]

exactly, in my opinion, good melodic emotional music will die after them, there is no band like them, and will never be in a long time, many tried but you feel the music mickel

[@Airguardian]

NOT THE LAST PLEASEEEEEE!!!!!!!! :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@colin8601]

I dont know, while I love EVERYTHING opeth puts out, I have to say their peak was deliverance/damnation. Not so big on this very proggy direction these last few albums. Incomparable musicians however.

[@Martin7182]

Last album or not, I hope you'll never stop touring! Your music lives on forever, so Opeth will never disappear :) Thank you for making great music!!

[@elbowrinkles]

Great acoustics for this interview guys!!

[@HeadNtheClouds]

WOOOOOOO 🤘 on my birthday too! ❤️🎶

[@pia-laetitia7513]

I’m learning latin in school and my teacher is also a fan of Opeth so I had the opportunity to talk to him about the album title. Fortunately, I knew the word “cauda” already when we were translating a text in Latin class thanks to Opeth

[@samuelsinisalo86]

Literally can't wait!

[@Tyler-nj5dr]

You will wait.

[@banehog]

Yeah, In Cauda Venenum was a pretty cool title - when The Dear Hunter did it 10 years ago.

[@tylerreynolds1045]

That was a song title though, right? What's the odds that was ever seen?

[@breakalegfpv9532]

I don't know why I love the crocked painting.

[@Heathshrdz24]

Please tell me you guys did a recording vlog! I love watching the process and techniques you guys use to get your sound

[@AlfW]

I guess the last album will be named "Opeth - Greatest Hits III" or something 😆

[@oterovidal2484]

HAHA

[@noname-eq1yc]

"Windowpane: The Greatest tracks of Opeth"

[@ihisham7944]

Take Regards From #Bangladeshi Metal Fan ♥

[@xurxo12]

I hope there’s a real poison at the end of the album, some heavy progressive back to growling song to exit the album by fuckin’ shutting the door again, and make us pray for their next album more than ever. Hope thats what he means and not retirement.

[@banehog]

I think you fundamentally misunderstand the concept of poison.

[@xurxo12]

Banehogg are u gonna throw some light on this mystery??

[@banehog]

@@xurxo12 In cauda venenum doesn't mean you'll get the thing you desperately want at the end. It kind means the exact opposite.

[@seisette]

...A dramatic turn of events?

[@d3thgr3tr58]

It will be a GREAT VOID without Opeth! In this modern world this is exactly what metal has needed to grow for the last almost now 25 YEARS! And seeing how you guys have grown it's only going to show a minimum of where metal can go!

[@sartin97]

If you quit, then I quit too. Because I don't know what to do with my life after Opeth. I'd better off DEAD

[@neilmartin3220]

Sarah Moradi 😂

[@kitrt]

Hey... The music still stays with us! Don't worry

[@Taiottavios]

Voids don't get filled in the metal scene guys, there would be a lot of people listening to your records over and over again and wondering what could have been if you kept going. That's the answer your looking for

[@schoolofmetal7702]

eternal life to Opeth!

[@bottlemanic]

Just ordered the new opeth album. Hopefully not for the final time

[@juanborjas6416]

I think it is interesting that an Italian progressive rock band released an album called "In Cauda Semper Stat Venenum" in 1969 and Mikael didn't know about it.

[@massimogalli4903]

Believe me: FOR SURE he knows, and for sure is one of The reasons The record got this title. Proud to be italian for that ! Italian prog music is somerhing that will be ever remembered

[@d3a7hr0wasd]

We should expect something nasty at the end of the record? I hope its a return to roots track.

[@akimapleton5393]

Better not be the last!!!!!! Eternal Rains Will Come... Eternal Opeth Will Come!!!

[@UlvenK]

Where can I get a jacket like his?

[@WickerManLP]

Yay

[@hildaivo7246]

If you stop making music, you would leave a huge void in my life

[@GrimeReaperMan]

I mean I already forgot the name of the album unless I see it being written like here in this video. He's right, it's not catchy at all. It's just because he wanted a Latin title which sounded cool to him is because why he chose it, otherwise hardly anyone else will remember, least of all the fact that it's not in English which is the current language of the world! So all in all not the best of choices when it comes to naming your album!

[@ShishiSonson]

I actually thought he ripped it off from "In cauda stat venenum", an album by Jacula, an italian proto-prog and proto-doom band from the late sixties.

[@cpav9062]

Actually the right pronounciation is www.rightpronunciation.com/languages/latin/in-cauda-venenum-5821.asp And scorpions are arachnids, not insects. Looking forward to listening to the album though.

Hope its not the last album

[@mouaadblvck]

It will be a sad day, when this band will stop making music

[@Alilsocialista]

Never go! There will be definitely a huge Void! Eternal Opeth 🤘🏼

[@ronaldpvincent11]

it's not the last record :sigh:

[@satanamogila9251]

One last album. AKA we need to sell this one more

[@AzzDogZ]

Is this album going to be metal or poprock again?

[@DiolodN]

Strange ..why did he say it may be the last album ? noway

[@banehog]

He specifically said why. I guess you weren't paying attention.

[@timg2727]

It's too bad the audio quality in this is so terrible.

[@linusfotograf]

The Poison is in the Tail would’ve sounded better imo

[@Valspartame_Maelstrom]

Linus Wärn is the in poison tail would’ve been better!

[@linusfotograf]

Spruce Mouthman ”Is the in Poison Tail”? Are you sure about that?

[@seisette]

He needed a title for the swedish and the english version

[@Valspartame_Maelstrom]

Linus Wärn was a joke. Obviously it’s jibberish.

[@Valspartame_Maelstrom]

ilcuggino you need a title for your ass

[@mranderson3277]

Hope you go on making more great music. Most of everything out there is trash these days. That latest tool album is utter garbage.

[@linusfotograf]

Patrick Archy Do you always use hyperbole and exagerate your views?

[@mranderson3277]

@@linusfotograf yes, I crank it up a notch for the butthurt tool fanbois. Always. Did I mention Tool's latest album is pure concentrated shit?

[@dislike__button]

Just publish it in one piece god damn it!

[@Fuckaue]

So you are the one who thinks I have to watch all those man wearing skirts playing bass!
