I don't know why I thought of this, but I was thinking about where names come from. Some surnames are obvious like Butcher or Wilson... some are a little more obscure like Osborne... so does Åkerfeldt mean anything?
Does "Åkerfeldt" MEAN anything in Swedish?

Hmm...Åkerfeldt is an old name i think.
Åker means going or driving, but in this case it means (i looked up the word, because i didn't knew it in english) something like "arable (land)". Sounds weird, but anyway...
Feldt (i think it's an old spelling for todays "fält") is field.
Hmm...this is very hard to explain and it sounds weird for the non-swedish people i can imagine! hehe
But this is probably the answer to your question.....i hope!

Åkerfeldt means business!
Heh heh! What's does Mike's name break down into? Traveling over land? That sort of odd because...that's the feeling I get when I bite into a York peppermint patty! I feel the icy blast of the Swedish winds and rolling forest below me as I soar with the Eagles...and...
"Shadows skulk at my coming.
We survey the slopes."
