to anyone who's thinking about commercial moves...

...i say: remember mikael's words: "The day we would limit ourselves or adapt to the music scene, would be the day Opeth dies."

labels could do what they want with opeth stuff, but i believe that opeth music is always the music opeth want, and is not what people would like to hear...

well, the reason for this is that mikael is just a metalhead just like we are. he thinks exactly what we are thinking when we talk about such things as "commercialismi mainstream, pop, etc." ive read just too many interviews by him.
