An old, but great Opeth interview

SoT : Do you wear ear protection when you play?

MÅ : No. [Laughs]

Mikael knows what's right.

No. [Laughs] I should – but you know, I like to feel what’s going on. But the guitar player Peter [points Peter Lindgren, who’d just walked through the room] – he and the keyboard player, they wear specially moulded earplugs which cost like a few hundred dollars and they let through the same frequencies, you know, but everything’s just a little bit lower. So I’m planning to get one of those. :Smug:
 
MÅ : "I would never say never, but the next album is going to be more of a crossover between heavy and mellow."

Why were people expecting something more dark and on the black metal side with GR when Mikael was saying this?
