Additions to the FAQ

I was reading the FAQ (boring day at school) and I noticed these questions and thought I'd provide some answers, as I am all-knowing and omnipotent, thou shalt worship me, okay, I'll get to the point.

Are Opeth religious or anti-religous?

Peter stated in an interview that "all members of Opeth are atheists".

What is the song if you reverse the sample before Demon of the Fall?

Mikael said somewhere that it was some recording of a band that had previously been in the studio where they recorded MAYH. It mysteriously appeared backwards in the beginning of DotF and they thought it sounded cool, so they left it there.

If I can get a source for that information I'll be glad to make the changes. At the moment I can't go by hearsay though.

Religion: http://www.musicomh.com/interviews/opeth_0905.htm

"We are atheists; we are not religious at all. At the same time we're not anti-religious either. The occult is an interesting topic to write about and read about but it's not extreme at all - like I said, we are just regular guys, but if people want to think were evil, then that's cool!"

I can't find the other interview now. I'll get back to it.

Interesting and (expected) response. It's how I've seen their work...

Cheers, I'll make the update
