In the year of our lord?

[Venometal]

In the year of our lord? what does this mean? its on the back of the 2 new opeth shirts. just a little confused somebody help me out....

 

[unknown]

Yeah I've seen that and was caught a little off guard

 

[osse87]

I think the year of our lord is the year the DVD was filmed. I think the shirts are form the Lamentations tour.

 

[T-Rat]

hi ya
this refers to the Christian calendar (now pretty much everyone's) in which the year zero became the year of Jesus' birth--(like B.C./A.D.) "year of our Lord" ("AD= anno domini in Latin which means the same thing) implies this scheme for logging years.
the Jews, for example, are in their year 6000 (alomost) because they didn't (religiously) start over with Christ.
not sure why Opeth put this on the shirts, (i guess that it fits the religiousity of the Damnation/Deliverance titles) but that's what it means...

 

[Master_Debater]

hell, I'm still trying to find out why they put Profondo Rosso on one of them...

 

[zeroMaximum]

profondo rosso? look your last upon the sun?

are those 2 just to look fancy?

 

[NFU]

Profundo rosso was an italian horror flick from 1976 directed by Dario Argento, and featuring "goblin" (an italian progressive rock band) doing the soundtrack for it...Mikael is a goblin fan and perhaps an italian horror flick fan, and i suppose thats the reason its on the shirts.

 

[Katatonic]

Look your last upon the sun is a line from Ivanhoe, which Mike likes.

 

[Cephalanthera]

you guys know a lot about opeth. what if i was to tell you... i am mikael akerfeldt. would you all piss your pants cause you worship me?

 

[Cephalanthera]

you guys are too smart for me. i must obey your heirarchy of needs and requirements AHHHHHHHHHHHh remember shaq? remember shaq in shazam?

 

[Arnold Layne]

Goblin are awesome and so is Dario Argento, i recommend Suspiria.

I have one of the In the year of our Lord Shirts, i thought it was ment to be funny or ironic or something comedic.

 

[dorian gray]

shaq? what the fuck? where did that come from?
also, profundo rosso and all that is on opeth.com.

 

[deliverance]

it says In the Year of Our Lord 2003 on a shirt (2003 AD)
it says In the Year of Our Lord 2004 on another shirt (2004 AD)
know why?
cause in 2003 they toured, then in 2004, they toured again.

 

[Hulk Hogan]

you're so wise

 

[deliverance]

just pointing out the obvious, my alphabetic friend.

I saw that film and loved it. Creepy as hell.

Storywise its pretty shit, but the atmophere is brilliant, one of the creepiest films ever. Sadly some holywood cheesemeister is going to remake it, (Opeth could do the soundtrack) but it sounds like a bad idea.

morte macabre should re-form and do the soundtrack, that would be fantastic.

 

[unknown]

morte macabre should re-form in general
