ive never seen them on tv, ive heard them once when mike was interviewed for a metal program at 11 at night and i cant buy the cds in my town (population 100,000). not mainstream where i am.
Well one good thing out of Opeth becomming bigger is that more and more bands will be influenced by them so we could see some real quality emerging in the next few years. Also, I am not advocating that bands should sound like Opeth but rather the quality of Opeths music the main influence.

I'd say the music's too complicated and the songs are too long + there's no absolute direction. I'd say we're too diverse to become mainstream. We have sold over 200.000 copies of Ghost reveries which is pretty good for a band with our style but it's far from being mainstream sales.
With that being said I do believe we can get bigger.
Cheers

Where'd you get those numbers? Those might be US figures but not worldwide....
