wow, awesome news! Love hearing stuff like this, i wish Mike and his family all the best! I hope this daughter will be the inspiration of another excellent album!
I would say you're a very lucky man - but really, you worked very hard to get where you are, so I'd say luck hasn't been so much a factor to your success as perseverance. That, and just being an awesome guy
Damn - the lad's come along way from selling his amp to pay rent and searching under the fridge for food (circa 2000, according to a Lamentations of the Flame Princess interview) Stories like that are always very inspiring.
Haven't checked this forum in a couple days, congratulations Mikael and Anna! A few new additions to the Åkerfeldt family, a daughter, a couple guitars, and a new record.
That is awesome all around, you deserve everything you have worked for.
