New Opeth album 'In Cauda Venenum' - "surprisingly sinister and gratifyingly thematic sequence"

The newest album by Swedish prog-metal band Opeth, their first entirely in Swedish, "is an exquisite exercise in perpetual contrasts that, while familiar, demonstrates how much Opeth can still intrigue and impress after so many years" PopMatters says in review (9 of 10 stars). They conclude: "Their most wicked record of the decade, signifying that their earlier evilness is still wonderfully intact".
