Kirkfjell said:why would it matter to you if Mike was into the occult? I think it's quite obvious he is... just take a look at Opeth's lyrics!
It was the only task I would undertake,
To reap the harvest that was mine,
The seed that had sprung into a florid meadow,
and left me helpless in your embrace.
The bond we never spoke of, once stark and enticing,
now slowly smoldering to dust.

"Devil guides the wayNeverIsForever said:where in any Opeth song is there reference to satanism? Because I don't see it if there is.
clearly you don't know what you're talking aboutGoober said:mikael doesnt believe in a god for 2 reasons
1. Sweden is the biggest athiest country in the world
2. In one of bloodbaths lyrics, it states something like "Look to the sky and you will see there is no God".....which actually kinda shows hes not a satanist lol. When you think about it, satanists believe there is a god, but hate him, and it seems within those lyrics, he doesnt believe in a god, therefor, cannot be a satanist. Hmm, cool i guess.
umdebaba said:Please grow up. Watch the Opeth documentary, and read some books. So what if Mikael is atheist, doesn't mean he is a satanist and in no way is being atheist negative. Just because a band does not have the same philosophical ideas as you does not change the music. They do not make music to share philosophy or shit like that or else they would write a book. If you want someone to share your ideas, join a church group. You all have a misconception of Satanism. OMGZ COF ARE TEH SATANIST. THEY MUSTBE TEH SATANIST CUZ THEY WEAR SPIKEZ ANDSHIT AND ARE ZUPPOSEDDLY BLACKMETAL. Yes sorry my capslock got stuck, don't cry. Go research on topics before you make misinformed assertions and start taking sides on those matters, please.
