In Cauda Venenum CONOISSEUR EDITION (Swedish Version). 180g Black Vinyl 2LP with Gatefold Sleeve and 16 Pages Booklet. “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 Åkerfeldt 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 Åkerfeldt’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”. Mastered at Atlantis studio, Stockholm, overlooked by Mikael Åkerfeldt, Stefan Boman, Janne Hansson & Sami Sirviö
