Brilliant! Thanks!
Check out the interview too. Good questions that other interviewers seem to never ask...
"
IC: I want to talk about your signature death metal growl. Is it something that you’ve developed over the years, or did you always have it – just walking around with that deep growl?
MA: I don’t know. I basically started doing it because I thought I could do it, because I wasn’t really a normal singing type of singer. So with my first band, basically we just made a few simple riffs and did some naïve lyrics and screamed. Later on, I came up with something that I wanted to sing over, so I tried that, too, and eventually I was kind of doing both styles."

"IC: Part of the unique sound of Opeth is made up of some of the more complex harmonies that you compose. Did you ever study theory or any kind of harmony in particular?
MA: No.
IC: Do you know the chords that you’re playing?
MA: No.
IC: You just do it all by ear?
MA: Yeah"
