From In Cauda Venenum (2019). In Cauda Venenum (Latin for "Poison in the tail") is the thirteenth studio album by Swedish progressive metal band Opeth, released on 27 September 2019 through Moderbolaget and Nuclear Blast. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Mark V, the rig we use for Opeth's other songs from In Cauda Venenum, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
