@warrenwally Apparently Mikael likes him because there are a lot of interviews on YouTube with these two. And they're usually good ones, despite the interviewers mediocre English.

Boogie woogie. Honky tonk. Coconut. I can see his point.

Opeth wanted Heritage to be different. If you've watched his interviews and listened to most of their records you'd probably know. They make each album unique and different to what they previously released. Mikael says they never want to go mainstream and this is how they do it.

He looks so relaxed. Like he is, to his core, at ease with how he stands in the world. His words and his music stand for themselves and have expressed exactly what he wanted. this is a man who can look anybody in the eyes.
