so when he says on stage, "This song has some lyrics that are absolute black metal nonsense..." is he just kinda poking fun at himself? i can't imagine him labeling himself that.
also, i usually do some fact checking on allmusic.com and they have "Death Metal/ Black Metal" among a few other genres. so, it seemed ok. sorry about that. I updated the piece and removed "black metal" and replaced with progressive death metal. thank you very much for your input.

i suppose it is an easy mistake to make if you havent listened to much black metal. I could easily see why someone would think it was black metal without hearing something like bathory or Venom or amebix etc etc because it just sounds like opeth would fit that catergory without hearing much of the genre. and judging by the other reviews it doesnt look like there is much more of the metal genre being reviewed. Still, its expected that most people on the board would prompt this small detail as some sort of insult
