Opeth issued a lyric video for another new song off their impending 12th studio album Sorceress titled “The Wilde Flowers”. Bandleader Mikael Åkerfeldt said of the song:
“This was the first song I wrote for this album. It’s kind of an OPETH standard, in a way, like from the last two albums. It’s very dynamic. It has a chorus, I guess. Then there’s a big Queen-sounding bit in the middle just before this massive solo… oh, and harps! They’re hidden in the mix but they’re there. The title comes from the band Caravan – they were originally called Wilde Flowers. I always liked those weird spellings.”
The record is set to hit stores next Friday, September 30th through the band’s imprint label Moderbolaget Records with Nuclear Blast Entertainment. Pre-order links follow the video stream.
