Quotes:
Some songs are put together like that where I didnt know I had two sections that would go well together until I actually tried it. Some parts I wrote entire arrangements and songs at once.
-Mikael Akerfeldt
Weve used piano before on our third album My Arms Your Hearse, but I was doing it all and Im not a piano player in the same way as Steven. He can pretty much play every instrument. We wanted to add something special; also to get him featured on the album, we got him singing a couple of lines as well and he played one guitar solo.
-Mikael Akerfeldt
Well people love to categorize and they ask me what they should call Opeths music and I tell them Id like it to be categorized under Good Music.
