Don't underestimate the metal underground. A lot has changed since their 2000 tour, and music like Opeth's is FAR MORE readily accessible to far more people today.
For the record, 'Deliverance' opened at the #1 spot on the CMJ 'Loud Music' charts, which is taken from college stations & metal/harder airplay stations.
Irving Plaza in NYC holds MAYBE 1000 people when it's at capacity. I've seen far lesser bands than Opeth sell that place out. Also, keep in mind that Paradise Lost & Lacuna Coil aren't exactly "unknown" bands with no fans.

heheh, I don't think the MTV crowd is into experimental old 70's prog, which is what Mike said Damnation sounded like.

Yeah man, I understand that. I don't like shit like: they will appear on mtv and stuff. Do you think they are commercial and trendy shitheads??? I think no!
