		Mikael Akerfeldt: I think especially in the States and all of North America people seem to be very into the video thing, while in Europe it's not a big thing.
		Mikael Akerfeldt: Well, we had used him for STILL LIFE, and we were so happy with that cover we decided to work with him again.
		Mikael Akerfeldt: I think that it's pretty hard because the first two albums were a bit different than the last three.

	Opeth Interview
		Mikael Åkerfeldt is truly a dedicated man. Opeth’s frontman feels deeply and luckily we are able to share in his depth of emotion.
		Mikael: It was our American agent is basically running this whole tour, I think it was his idea and he’s been hooking up our tours for the last couple of years.
		Mikael: I had this early idea about writing some kind of occult concept, it would look like some sort of a regression to my death metal roots but I ended up writing a couple of songs that are connected together, surrounding almost like a cult or different demonic possession type of thing.

		When Mikael takes a break from doing death metal vocals and starts to sing, it is one of the greatest and calm moments ever.
		Being the longest song on the whole album, you'd expect more of the death metal vocals from Mikael, but overall, it is a track that you would be calmed and relaxed by.
		Mikael starts with clean vocals, but before long, he goes into the deep and extreme death metal vocals.

		Mikael: Yeah, just the way we were living and smoking and late nights, workit was just too much for me. But, then again, I’m very proud of the albums and I’m happy in the way that we did it and made it, although I kinda regret it because of the feeling of the whole recording.

	Opeth Artist Page on Music Emissions
		Opeth began their inexorable rise in Stockholm, way back in the late 80s when the then teenaged Mikael Akerfeldt was asked to contribute bass guitar to a fledgling incarnation of the band by its founder member, David Isberg.
		Mikael Akerfeldt: "Our drummer quit the band after two records and the bass player was kicked out.
		Arguably their heaviest and most intense album to date, Deliverance still contained moments of fragile grace and delicate aural poetry and again showcased the incredible vocal talents of Mikael Akerfeldt: from ethereal whisper to neo-demonic roar, his voice is one of the current metal scene's most justly revered treasures.

	Opeth - Satan Stole My Teddybear
		Singer/guitarist Mikael Akerfeldt has appeared on Edge of Sanity records and in return former E.O.S. mainman Dan Swano helped record this epic piece.
		Certainly Mikael Akerfeldt can be considered, along with Dan "I got my fork in the stew" Swanö, to be of godhead status in the dark metal scene.
		The impression is that bandleader Mikael Åkerfeldt pieces together a hodgepodge collection of riffs rather than visualizing entire songs within his head.

	OPETH Damnation reviews and MP3
		Mikael Akerfeldt is a man with an open view on the (music)world.
		Mikael Akerfeldt was inspired by a good friend of his from Katatonia to release a sort of 2-part album, and the idea then became the thoughtful, yet brutal "Deliverance", and the sensitive, dismal "Damnation".
		Mikael's in unusually somber voice (which for him is saying something!) as he sings lines like "And I should comtemplate this change to ease the pain...".

	Opeth: Progressive Metal
		Akerfeldt's vocals are monstrous, scathing and very convincing, also proving his talents in the clean singing department during certain moments.
		Akerfeldt's harsh vocals are deeper as opposed to the midrange rasp that was his primary approach on the first two albums.
		Mikael Akerfeldt has made it clear in interviews that he and his bandmates are lazy by nature, and would much rather hang around the house playing computer games than practicing new material.

		As I mentioned before, Mikael is one of the greatest death metal vocalists ever.
		Mikael holds a long, deep growl, and as it ends, the heavy music violently erupts into your ears.
		Mikael occasionally changes up his vocal style by growling very deep, then raises it up to a fl metal tone.

		Mikael can growl low, high, or knock your socks off with his magnificent voice.
		Mikael growls for the first few minutes on the song, but soon he enlightens you with his clean vocals.
		Mikael roars, "There is a voice calling for me...There is a light coming down on me...There is a doubt that is clearing...There is a day that is dawning...".

	Transcending the Mundane (TTM): Listen / Buy / Read Review of Deliverance by Opeth
		Mikael Akerfeldt is again brilliant with both the lyrics and his ever-developing vocals.
		Mikael’s heavy vocals follow along the expected path of being more guttural, depressing, and downright heavier than each previous album.
		I’m afraid that on their next “heavy” album Mikael will have to actually become possessed to get his growled vocals even more demonic than they currently are.

		Mikael, eight minutes into "A Fair Judgment" you sing "Came so close, to what I need most," and while I hate to over-analyze that, your voice cracks and wavers, achingly so.
		Mikael: I was writing in the middle of the night, tired, drinking coffee, and having cigarettes.
		Mikael: Being a record collector, there are a lot of obscure bands I feel should've gotten a lot more recognition then they did.

	Rough Edge: Opeth CD Reviews
		Akerfeldt's harsh growl is in fine form on this track and he effortlessly shifts to cleaner passages make the chasm of the song's sinister protagonist shifting between madness and calm all the more disturbing.
		Akerfeldt and Lindgren compose some of the most melodically perfect solos and lead lines ever heard on a metal album.
		Opeth is Mikael Akerfeldt on vocals and guitars, Peter Lindgren on guitars, Martin Lopez on drums, and Martin Mendez on bass.

		Mikeal Akerfeldt and crew remain the reigning masters of death metal, and this release only reaffirms it.
		Akerfeldt's voice is awe-inspiring (beautiful singing and soul-withering, crackling death growls) and Martin Mendez wins my eternal respect for his awesome headbanging on "Master's Apprentices".
		Mikael's vocals seem a little rusty in the first 2-3 songs but he quickly get into the act.

		True, mastermind songwriter/guitarist Mikael Akerfeldt is the incandescent core of the band, but drummer Martin Lopez (ex-Amon Amarth) and bassist Martin Mendez display progression and ability necessary for such demanding material.
		The song also demonstrates Akerfeldt's broad range of vocal styles that, like the music, move effortlessly from one style to the next.
		Akerfeldt's voice is at a level that he really should be acknowledged as one of metal's most diverse vocalist.

	Opeth [www.progweed.net]
		The heavier sections are complemented by lengthy acoustic sections, for which guitarist Mikael Akerfeldt is a sublime master of creating artful and atmospheric textures.
		This one is arguably their best album, and it was at this point that lead songwriter Mikael began to become supremely influenced by 70s progressive music.
		Akerfeldt takes on a low guttural roar that stands in contrast to the higher pitched rasping on the earlier albums, which you prefer is simply a matter of preference.

		While Akerfeldt reports being happy with the band's choice - he says "Ghost" is selling better and quicker than the band's past releases - he understands they're not a driving monetary force behind Roadrunner.
		Akerfeldt said he's not exactly bristling over the fact he and his Opeth mates aren't celebrities.
		While Opeth may not be headlining arenas tomorrow, Akerfeldt says he's comfortable with the niche his band has carved, even if every now and again he's chastised by someone who doesn't understand why the band's music isn't all thrashing all the time.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: DVD/VIDEO REVIEWS
		Opeth were certainly aware of it, as Mikael Akerfeldt noted that "we’re a little nervous", but didn’t let that awareness get in the way and played a superb two-part set.
		The performance was "clean," i.e., no pyrotechnics, lasers, or "gimmicks" other than the band logo back-projected on a screen and basic colored lights, and demonstrated just how talented Opeth truly are and how well they connect with their fans.
		Wilson himself talks about his relationship with Opeth and gets a great clip where he introduces Mikael Akerfeldt to the mellotron - the look on Akerfeldt’s face is one of pure rapture, the look of a man who’s just found the Holy Grail.

		On the opposite side, those into melodic rock will probably not go a bundle for singer Mikael Akerfeldt's very deep death metal growls or the more blatantly metallic moments.
		Akerfeldt is certainly one of the best death metal singers I've heard but he has more up his sleeve.
		Akerfeldt then switches to his cleaner, more melodic vocal.

		And speaking of live performances, after 10 years in the business and six albums to their credit, Mikael Akerfeldt and company decided the time was right to release their first concert home video.

		A truly superb effort by a very talented drummer, the album is abundantly full of pace setting high hat rhythms and irregular drum beats to keep any sense of monotony from setting in.
		Making various appearances on the album is Mikael Akerfeldt’s close friend and Porcupine Tree frontman Steven Wilson, who provides some great atmospheric feels, courtesy of a Grand Piano and Mellatron.
		Mikael Akerfeldt delivers some of the saddest and most heartfelt lyrics I’ve ever heard.

		The starry 4/4 sprinkled guitar notes of the middle section, melodic metal frame, and the intense performance of Mikael Akerfeldt all enhance the power of the song's flow.
		Borrowing Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth for vocal duties, whom I consider to be one of metal's best vocalists, only adds to the brilliance with his tortured guttural outbursts taking their previous sound to a totally new level.
		For their second full-length album, the band decided to enlist the help of their friend Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth to do the vocals, since Jonas Renkse was unable to produce any harsh vocals at the time.

		Brought together in Stockholm by guitarists Peter Lindgren and Mikael Åkerfeldt in 1990, Opeth added progressive influences and acoustic instrumentation to their brand of Swedish death metal.
		As the group progressed, it was very common for an Opeth live set to fly in several different musical directions, on top of an average song lasting no less than ten minutes.
		FaceCulture met singer/guitarist and songwriter Mikale Akerfeldt of Swedish metalband Opeth just before their gig in the Melkweg in Amsterdam on September 9.

		Opeth is a band renowned in the Underground for it’s member’s uncanny ability to mix complex and well-written, yet simultaneously brutal and catchy Death Metal grinds together with pretty, almost hypnotic, acoustic passages.

		A mix between grunts and clean vocals, many recurring themes throughout the disc, guest vocals by Mikael Akerfeldt, this one just has it all.
		He is a multi-instrumentalist, one of the only guys that has a proper clean voice and an understandable grunt at the same time (Akerfeldt being the other one), and during the nineties he did a few brilliant production jobs in his own Unisound studio.
