satanic references

[RavenousDaemon]

Well it doesn't really matter if Satan's your bitch. But does it matter anyway?

So Mike is anti-jew and anti-christ?

 

[Djm]

So Mike is anti-jew and anti-christ?

Well, duh. How could you not be that cool without selling your soul?

 

[John Gargo]

If you play "Black Rose Immortal" backward, it's a twenty minute love poem to Satan and I can't speak for anyone else, but my weekly goat sacrifices have been going so much better ever since I've started using ORCHID as the background music.

 

[Nico]

^Right on! Killer avatar too.

 

[John Gargo]

Hey, yours is awesome too... Agent Orange kicks my ass every time I put it on.

 

[Nico]

The day Agent Orange stops kicking my arse will be the day I die.

 

[Kloris]

Not if he kicks your arse hard enough to kill you.
I don't even know what you're talking about, or who he is.

Mikael told me he used to be a Christian until his dog died when he was 7
and nobody told him it was dead so he kept trying to play with it, he thought
it was just sleeping or something. One day he petted it, and it's body opened
and his hand slid inside the dog's body and he couldn't get his hand out. Mind you,
the dog had been dead for a long while. Anyway, he kept trying and screaming
pulling at his hand to remove it from the dog corpse, and when he got it out
it had a pentagram on it, and also he had the dog's moldy heart in his hand.

That's what he told me anyway a few years back when I was jamming
with him at his place. I'm not quite as good as him... actually I'm not close
but he didn't seem to mind. We've been friends for a long time, we met in
Stockholm and were going to start a band but my guitar sucked and he went
on and started playing with other people, eventually forming some band,
I think it was called "Erection".

 

[Nico]

Are you certifiably insane?

 

[cthulufhtagn]

hey i remember erection...i think it was how mikael got the idea for the title "morningrise"

 

[The Dude]

hahaha

 

[OpethNZ]

yes its definately tounge-in-cheek, like on the DVD, i always laugh when Mikael says "are you ready to turn this place into...i dont know...hell!", i think he almost laughs at himself there

 

[synergy]

aaahhahahahaa

 

[CERVEZA]

HAHAHA!!. I saw them live and Mikael does make references to satan. Then again it's all part of the show. Whoever think that death and black metal bands believe what they write (lyrics), is fucked up in the head. Ask Mustis from Dimmu Borgir and he'll tell you.
Personally I don't give a shit, since God will always be with me.HAHA

 

[RavenousDaemon]

HAHAHA your god is dead. :Smug:

 

[John Gargo]

HAHAHA your god is dead. :Smug:

Man, I feel sorry for whoever's going to have to do the eulogy.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

hey have you all heard the good news about jesus christ?





he's dead!

 

[RavenousDaemon]

Yay!

 

[the_drip]

I laughed during the whipping scene of the passion. and masterbated during the crucifixion.

 

[foulwing]

it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that opeth is not a satanic band. it's all a joke...one of the shows i saw he dedicated the tour to "our lord satan"...it was fun

the show ended and they came out a couple of minutes laters for an encore and mikael goes.. This song is dedicated to our lord SATANAS!

and they played demon of the fall

ahahah it was awesome
