Swedish progressive metallers OPETH will release their new concept album, "The Last Will And Testament", on October 11 via Reigning Phoenix Music.

The LP's first single, "§1", can be streamed below.

"I have become quite interested in family, and the idea that blood is not always thicker than water," OPETH leader Mikael Åkerfeldt explained.

"I became interested in how family members can turn on each other. I saw an interview with this guy whose family had all turned against him, over the inheritance, so I wrote a song about that on the last record. The idea stuck with me, and then along came the TV show 'Succession', and I loved that series. That was in the back of my head too. It felt like an interesting topic that you could twist and turn a little bit."
