OPETH - In Cauda Venenum: The Writing Process (OFFICIAL INTERVIEW)

[@Psicosferico]

Could listen to this glorious man talking about music for hours. He should have his own podcast.

[@alleroif133]

Yes!!! His voice is so low and soft, it's like silk.

[@GoonSplatoon]

Oh man, the amount of content he could cover in a podcast, stories and music history. Would be pretty great.

[@Psicosferico]

@@GoonSplatoon And more Mendez jokes x)

[@Gengibrecookie]

Sure!

[@TheGhostlands]

Theres a podcast on spotify called metal talks and Opeth (Mike) did like an hour or so. He covers his career since the beginnings and tell one or two funny stories, awesome listening.

[@Maideneer]

We need a third version sung in Latin. Your move Åkerfeldt.

[@Airguardian]

+1

[@S1NE4T3R]

Make it pig latin and I'm in.

[@greckendale]

We need a 4th version in Aussie Bogan Tongue.

[@ndbd9drn]

My whole family listen to Opeth. Words cannot even begin to describe how much I love you guys

[@tijolinhosensual]

Well, my mother does not like Ghost of Perdition that much.

[@graablick9471]

@@tijolinhosensual legit 😂

[@chrixtian13]

I love the way Mikael talks about his music. The efforts for the particular sound of the band each album. Come to Mexico, Miguelito!

[@Gengibrecookie]

Miguelito hahaha imagine Mendez llamándolo así 🖤

[@Gabas80]

Eres de Monterrey? O en todo México le cantan Miguelito a Miguelito? jajaja

[@chrixtian13]

¡Exacto, Caro! Jajaja. Gabriel, se quedó “Miguelito” en marzo del 2013 desde el Circo Volador, creo.

[@MrScootycz]

What a time to be alive. New Tool and Opeth only a month apart.

[@frankov_83]

and both with albums containing Latin.

[@Aaron_Gentry]

New Opeth comes out only two days after my birthday

[@alejom1851]

Tool album comes on my birthday

[@honigdachs.]

A guy like him of course needs this kind of divine reverb when he speaks down to the denizens of the earth.

[@Gengibrecookie]

These intreviews just left me more excited to listen the full album hahaha

[@raulnicholas9783]

No other band that I've heard before has evolved / experienced as much as yours, Mikael. I think this is the most important thing to do as an artist (I'm an 18 year old artist and I also work hard on my first album. I want to follow this direction of evolution too). I saw a true passion for music in your eyes some days ago, at a show. Great job, keep it like this! : ) From a big fan.

[@andyzodlock7799]

His voice is music too.

[@wildstyle3743]

Don't take the long break please, I need your music ahah.

[@luiskabal1595]

I'm loving Opeth so much

[@Gengibrecookie]

Loving these intreviews, so friendly and intimate

[@NicolasREVA7X]

Guys, we need Patterns in The Ivy II and Still Day Beneath the Sun on Spotify please. I don't know where else I can contact you ;-;

[@maggotarg]

So true brother

[@pineapplepeanuts]

Sounding good so far. One thing Opeth has always had are melodic, emotional aspects in their music, at least since To Bid You Farewell. Or like the outro to Credence - no shredding, just simple, captivating melody, often with a bittersweet touch. You can hear it in their more recent work too like Elysium Fields or Marrow of the Earth. Everybody talks about Opeths death metal sound and it's awesome but looking at the entire body of work, its becoming clear that death metal perhaps was never Opeths main trait to begin with. It puts their newer work in perspective, for those who are still reeling after Heritage lol.

[@neromalpelo6891]

I love this guy! 😘

[@Vincent-bt4er]

his voice is like ASMR to me

[@alleroif133]

Hearing this man speaking is so good for my soul. 🖤

[@strixaluco9369]

Get drunk or stoned and listen to the Still Life album at night in the woods under a bright moon...

[@totheskye6704]

under the weeping moon, you mean :P

[@wurstgitarre]

Why not drunk AND stoned? :P

[@Krustoffalone]

It would be nice to hear those demos

[@schizophrenicenthusiast]

Is it too much to ask to record him speak with good sound quality?

[@theepicslayer7sss101]

the fact that there was a song sung in Swedish surprised Ola Englund even tho he had a hard time understanding the words! lol (i guess even Sweden has it's accents) also Venenum looks like a word from ThaumCraft for Venom or poison... could it be that the Aspects from Thaumcraft are all Sweden Words? Humanus, Lucrum, Messis, Tenebrae, Fames, Mortuus, Lux, Gelum, Aer, Ignis, Victus... i put quite a few while there is a ton more just in case there was a few that might just be plain Latin or some thing... EDIT: i put all of them in Google Translate... it is Latin... lol

[@theepicslayer7sss101]

i just had fun with Google Translate putting a little story that i made randomly from the words i put there in Latin... putting this phrase in English and translating it to Latin and back keeps making new phrases that sounds like some proclamation of some prophet or something lol... put This: Human who had Greed on the Grains of Darkness until Hunger Caused Death of the Light that Froze the Air and Flames of Life.

[@theepicslayer7sss101]

@@Regarded69 well i live in Canada in New-Brunswick in the French Region and just 20 KM to the next town they pronounce a lot of words differently because of the different accent. bowling pins called "Quilles", they pronounce "Kills" and them not speaking English makes them unaware of how funny that sound when they announce how many point they made... so i can kind of understand since from one town to the next there is already heavy accent changes, then outside or a Range it becomes mixed English and then Full English... and do not worry about information... i do not mind learning. rather swim in knowledge than drown in ignorance!

[@renzorevilla1210]

That thumbnail made feel a fucking deja-vu for a moment

[@hildaivo7246]

Opeth is my one true love 😍

[@SalmaK.]

His voice only is like music to ears

[@timg2727]

This is good, but I wish it were a whole lot longer.

[@destroyergaming2137]

Denle like quien ya quiere escuchar este glorioso álbum.

[@Kranon]

Me gustaria escucharlo pero no te voy a dar like no names.

[@fcamiola]

Is he in some Stockholm museum? Big reverb in that room!

[@ricardoa.9768]

Fuck yeah!!! now that's a beatiful mostache win 👌

[@rubenrobertoreyesrivera1322]

Yess

[@fernandonavarrete9839]

[@carliiuxiiz]

Hehe, his vouce reminds me of Saruman in this video. Are we gonna read some magick 😂?

[@ksylo4805]

Carla, have you seen the new Cult Of Luna video "The Silent Man" It's bloody amazing

[@quintin_rsa8701]

Couldn't help but notice he isn't wearing a ring anymore.

[@T_ler]

I just really want another record close to blackwater Park and ghost reveries... I know I won’t get it but I can hope

[@Darth_Revan25]

He's finished with death metal. It's not that tragic. The new style is superb. Embrace it.

[@T_ler]

Darth Revan it’s good prog but it’s not amazing like their death metal was

[@michaelfoxx6881]

Only three raisins in the cake then!

[@maxmatthews2463]

Did you go to Nashville?

[@Darkhound_]

I want some new stuff!

[@strangeskills]

guys do death metal again and come to Venice Italy for some inspirations and plagues ! cheers!

[@israelthacker8568]

At some point we'll have to hear those other 3 songs lol

[@kubraozden1469]

Yine gelin Türkiye'ye!

[@bakhadurmuslimov9296]

Yok hehe

[@marianelayajuremendez638]

💜💜🤘🤘🤘

[@jorgealejandroramirezmayor8866]

I've started wondering if he has his own art pictures in his living room or this is only a exhibition galery art in some place in sweedish lands. Well, after of all he is an artist too developed.

Could they have found a worse room to have a interview in?

[@TheRumbles13]

Massive fan here. I think the new mix sounds off.. kinda thin.

Sooooo svensk

Ma quelli all'inizio del video sono i trulli di Alberobello

Please Michael some new songs with growls PLEASE.

[@matheusburger6322]

Michael, I'm a big fan but everything is sounding the same for the past 5 years. It is like one massive nice song.
