Most of the elements, timbres, and atmospheres have been heard and experienced before on preceding progressive rock releases by other artists. Opeth compose solid and relatively memorable material, but they don´t exactly invent the wheel here. It´s arguably 70s influenced progressive rock, but the early 90s Swedish progressive rock revival scene and artists like Landberk and Anekdoten are also valid references. There is an omnipresence of vintage keyboards/synths/organ, along with equally organic sounding bass, guitars, and vocals. It´s dymamic music featuring both louder heavy parts, epic progressive parts, but also mellow acoustic parts. Stylistically the material on "In Cauda Venenum" is in the heavy progressive rock style with folk leanings that Opeth have played since "Heritage" (2011). The instrumental part of the music is the same on all releases/versions, only the lyrics and the language are different. One double album version featuring the album in a Swedish language version and an English language version (on two discs), and two seperate one-album versions featuring the Swedish language version and the English language version. "In Cauda Venenum" was released in three different versions. It´s the successor to "Sorceress" from September 2016 and features the exact same quintet lineup who recorded the predecessor. The album was released through Moderbolaget Records in September 2019. "In Cauda Venenum" is the 13th full-length studio album by Swedish progressive rock/metal act Opeth.
