My favorite in our discography right now. Of course. That's how it should be, right? It's both fresh and old, both progressive and rehashed. Heavy and calm. Just the way we like it." The album was the first project under Moderbolaget Records, a joint venture between Opeth and Nuclear Blast. Moderbolaget means "the parent company" in Swedish.<ref>{{Cite web |title=MODERBOLAG in English - Cambridge Dictionary |url=https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/swedish-english/moderbolag |website=dictionary.cambridge.org}}</ref>
