Opeth have released a second studio teaser for their 12th album Sorceress.

The promo follows last month’s clip, and shows Joakim Svalberg recording part of a keyboard solo for the follow-up to 2014’s Pale Communion. The album is due out this autumn.

Opeth inked a deal with Nuclear Blast last month for the record.

Frontman Mikael Akerfeldt said: “We’re happy to confirm that we have indeed signed a deal with Nuclear Blast Entertainment and will be putting out our 12th studio album Sorceress via our own imprint, Moderbolaget Records.

“The decision was made in Markus Staiger’s – Nuclear Blast kingpin – ridiculously potent Porsche going at 150mph somewhere in the south of Germany. We’re happy to be part of the NB team and look forward to a fruitful relationship.”

Opeth will kick off their North American tour this September at Ozzfest Meets Knotfest, before hitting the road across Europe in November.
