opeth's intro music?

[amc]

So I was wondering what Opeth's intro music was... the music that comes on right before they start playing. It starts out kinda slow and then it gets a bit faster just before the guys start playing. It sounds like some sort of sitar effect with more delay/swell effects on it or something. They have a little part on Black Rose Immortal that reminds me of it except the BRI one is more folky and a little less evil sounding. Either way they both sound awesome. Anyone have an idea what song it is? Mikael?

Ometh is correct.
