I know this isn't an Evergrey specific question, but can anyone explain why it seems so much "DEATH" and "BLACK" metal seems to come from Sweden and the surrounding areas? Several times in the ANTR DVD Tom comments about the occult and "Hail Satan". I know that EG's earlier albums had Andy from King Diamond working with them. What is the fascination, is it because it is so cold and dark all the time where they live or is really part of a belief system for them? Just Curious.
I have a guy who frequents my music store who is satanic grotto master??? and is quite a like-able fellow. His wife bought him a guitar for Christmas and I asked him "what's up with that". He said his Christmas was just a little more evil and that if you move the letters around in santa you get satan.
