    Mikael and Bloodbath

    Knowing that Mikael is not satanic/anti-christian....what's up with the new bloodbath album? Its vehemently anti-christian. Is this supposed to be just tongue-in-cheek death mental drivel...or is this outright hatred? Without getting into a religious discussion, the lyrics to mock the cross are...

    to rid the disease

    I know there's been a lot of discussion about this track. But I'm still not sure what its about. I've heard everything from an estranged relationship, abortion/miscarriage, to getting rid of the judaio/christian religion (I don't think its about this at all). What are some of your thoughts

    new to orphaned land

    I just found out about orphaned land today and order Mabool. So are these guys a Jewish metal band?? If so...that is so cool. Their lyrics don't seem to be your "normal" metal lyrics. The concept on mabool is pretty fascinatingIs there lots of growling on the album. I can handle that in small...

    To rid the disease

    Does anyone here have any clue what the lyrics are about. This is one of my favorite songs on Damnation...simply beautiful and haunting. But I can't make any sense out of the lyrics.

    Deliverance

    I know Mikael has said in concert that Deliverance (the song) is actually about the movie with burt reynolds....is that true or is he just being a comedian. Because that would make sense. I only saw the movie once, yet I don't recall any drowning scenes. At first glance the song seems to be...

    Opeth song titles/lyrics

    On Deliverance I don't understand the titles to Wreath, Master's Apprentices, and By the Pain I see in Others. Wreath seems to be about a nightmare, but what does wreath actually mean....same with MA and BTPISIO. What are the songs about, the titles don't seem to jive with the subject matter...

    Deliverance -the song

    It's commmon knowledge that Deliverance is about a guy who drowns a lady, and then looses his salvation. However, I understand that Mikael's lyrics were very personal, and I'm positive he's never drowned anyone. So I wonder what the deeper meaning is to this song. Mikael's lyrics have a deeper...

    satanic references

    I know that Opeth is not one of those satanic death metal bands (one of the many reason I like their music). Then why is it that Mikael sometimes makes satanic references at their concerts? Is it just used as a gimmick to get the fans all riled up? Any thoughts on this?
