Swedish prog titans OPETH‘s 14th studio album, The Last Will & Testament, has been postponed to November 22, 2024 due to unforeseen delays in the manufacturing process. Release comes via Moderbolaget / Reigning Phoenix Music. It is 5 long years since their last album – 2019’s In Cauda Venenum.
OPETH’s frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt comments: “We strive to deliver the highest quality product possible, and to achieve that, we need a bit more time to ensure the final release meets our standards. We understand this may come as a disappointment, but we sincerely appreciate your patience and continued support. We can’t wait to share this new music with you, and we are confident it will be worth the wait.”
Following the critical acclaim of their first single, the band recently shared a second offering from the record, “§3,” which can be heard at THIS LOCATION.
900k Spotify listeners, 500M cross-platform streams, 1M+ albums sold, multiple #1 albums, Swedish Grammy wins and numerous multiple world tours – OPETH are one of the most important bands in metal music. Their unique sound and compelling storytelling made them a genre leader and highly respected artists among musicians and audiences alike.
