Step into the mesmerizing world of Opeth with their twelfth studio masterpiece, "Sorceress." This Swedish progressive metal marvel was unleashed upon the world on September 30, 2016, courtesy of the esteemed record label, Nuclear Blast, and the band's very own imprint, Moderbolaget.

Crafted with meticulous precision, "Sorceress" was brought to life through the expert production and mixing talents of Tom Dalgety. The album's ethereal sounds were birthed within the historic confines of Rockfield Studios in Wales, creating an atmosphere that perfectly complements the band's sonic wizardry.

Following the album's captivating release, Opeth embarked on a spellbinding world tour, sharing their sonic sorcery with audiences far and wide. Alongside them on this enchanting journey were renowned acts such as the Sword, Sahg, and Myrkur, who added their own magical touch to the live experience.

For those eager to experience the magic of "Sorceress" before its official release date, the album was thoughtfully streamed on SoundCloud on September 29, giving fans a tantalizing taste of what awaited them.

With "Sorceress," Opeth once again demonstrates their mastery of progressive metal, weaving a spellbinding musical tapestry that captivates the senses and leaves a lasting mark on the soul.
