Possibility number one:
There are no other instruments playing at the time, andhis voice takes up the full spectrum of sound. There are no other instruments with which you can compare his voice to (relatively, given the exact moment/contrast) No bass blocking the low frequencies, no cymbals blocking the highs, just pure multitracked bliss.
As with most Opeth moments, it's all about the contrast. Beautiful acoustic section with great vocal harmonies, followed by lonely aggresive and layered vocals, followed by a major assault with distorted guitars, bass drums and of course extra guitars layers. Well planned, but not really any "heavier than any vocal lines Mike has done in the past. As a wannabe of a producer, that's my humble opinion. From now on, please respect the rest of Mike's great vocal duties with the same high regard in which you think of these!
Sorry, drunkeness makes you post things you would not normally think of....
Because he's never gone for a slightly more guttural growl before seems to be option number three
