Submit questions for Opeth interview . . .

[Windom Pearl]

According to some of your interviews you seem to be aware of the major life-changing effect Opeth has to some people. Do you ever think about the lives you´ve changed and if you do, how does it feel?

Question: Do you ever miss playing the older songs? When playing live, do you enjoy Forest of October more or less than the other songs? In the new show, will there be a variety of material? Maybe a preview of some tracks off Damnation?

When will Opeth unplugged arrive in stores?

Question: Has Opeth become "urbanized" in musical style and in image? A look at the cover of the first 5 albums give most viewers a sense of being in nature (beside a lake, a forest, a swamp...). This sense becomes even stronger when thinking of songs like "The Forest of October", "Black Rose Immortal" and "Blackwater Park" (both lyrical content and title of song). Last many fans talk about Opeth as forest metal; saying that the music of Opeth belongs to the forest and the autumn: -"The best way to enjoy Opeth is in a couch with a blanket and a cup of tea".

With the new release, it feels somehow that Opeth has moved closer to the city. The cover of "Deliverance" shows the inner exterior of an apartment and the song titles does not show any interest in nature. I have yet to hear the lyrics but the music itself this time is to me more of urban sounds and rythm (the train-like beginning of "By the Pain..." or the operatic feel of the ending of "Deliverance").

Thanks for the help and for the interesting questions! The interview was done appr. 2 weeks ago and finally it's online now.

I couldn't use all of your questions because they were in a hurry to call the next magazine... but some of them have been asked... check here: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=59454

yeh cooool interview! Good to see something that wasnt from Mikael for once!!

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

where? what?

 

[Powerslave]

Well if you had interviewed Mikael, a perfect question would have been "What is the concept and meaning of Advent?". Cause none of us have a clue. I know some of you don't wanna know, but some of us do

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Yay just read the interview, great stuff. Really long too, which is good.
