OPETH's frontman on favorite dish, new album and influences



zoom
It Djents: Hey Mikael, thanks for taking the time, how are you?

Mikael Åkerfeldt: Hello! I’m doing fine. I just went for a little jog. Shaking these ol’ bones around a little.

ID: The new Opeth album, Sorceress, is out since September 30. How do you feel about the release and did you receive some first impressions?

Mikael Åkerfeldt: I don’t really actively search for reviews, but I’ve seen a few that have been good. No bad ones just yet, but I’m sure they’ll come. I am very happy with the album of course. It wouldn’t have been released otherwise! It’s a lovely sounding record with what we feel are great songs. It feels fresh and new. I like to believe we still maintain a strong identity in whatever scene we belong to.

ID: I had the pleasure to listen to album and was very happy to recognize some Baroness/Mastodon/Stoner/Sludge-esque influences. How do you think about Opeth’s constant evolution?

Mikael Åkerfeldt: I don’t listen to either Baroness or Mastodon, even if we are buddies, so I’m not sure where you heard those comparisons. I never listened to stoner rock either, with the exception of ‘…Sky Valley’ by whatever they’re called…Kyuss!, back in the day. I would say I am influenced by my record collection and it consists of old shit, mainly. I love for this band to move forward or sideways every now and then, but as long as the songs are good, I’m happy.



ID: Can you talk a little bit about the lyrical content on Sorceress and did your stylistical evolution have any impact on your lyrics?

Mikael Åkerfeldt: They’re more culled from events in my personal life than before, perhaps. More based on my own ponderings. I’m not sure if it’s a particular style I have really. I just write, trying to find a feeling and a theme. Usually it begins with a line I like and then I write the rest around that. It doesn’t hurt if it’s halfway poetic and certainly not if it’s dark. I’ve been fairly lucky so far.

ID: We can watch the videos about the recording process, but are they any „uncaptured“ anecdotes or funny moments you want to share?

Mikael Åkerfeldt: Not really. We didn’t have time for much fun outside of the fun of recording the record. We didn’t party much. I think the funniest thing that happened was watching Fredrik eat a extremely hot curry once. He sweated like a sweaty pig. I find it extremely funny when he eat spicy stuff, so I try to egg him to do so as often as I can.
ID: We all know you as a musician, but can you tell us about some of your hobbies/interests? Like your favorite dish, movie, book or something like that?

Mikael Åkerfeldt: I love most food if it’s cooked well. Or uncooked well, like sashimi/sushi. I love burgers, if they’re done with a twist. I eat a lot of veggie stuff now, fake meat which I’ve started to love. Movies would be B-horror, or nice films like ‘The Deer Hunter’, ‘No Country For Old Men’, ‘There Will Be Blood’. That kind of stuff. Drama, I guess.

ID: Soooo, time for a maybe uncomfortable question: As a band, you’ve done so many things right. Was there a moment when you feel you’ve made a wrong decision, and what would have you done differently?

Mikael Åkerfeldt: I probably made more bad decisions than I’m willing to admit, but one was to play only soft stuff during a world tour. Some people left disappointed and that won’t happen again. When it comes to the creative side, I don’t make mistakes.

ID: Any interesting bands you enjoy at the moment?

Mikael Åkerfeldt: Loads of old bands, as usual. And artists that are either old or dead. John Coltrane, These Trails, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Peter Hamill, Family. Stuff like that.

фильмы хорошие назвал, во всяком случае. группы - тоже, но то, что он так зацикливается на нафталине все ж расстраивает(
24 окт 2016
то что он не слушает мастодон и баронесс - ему большой минус, тк они уделывают это скучнейший Опет по полной программе
24 окт 2016
Да последний альбом Баронесс как-то тоже не покатил. Хотя слушал много раз. Что-то там много самоповторов.
24 окт 2016
Hellg, слабее желтозепеного, но все равно крепкий альбом
24 окт 2016
Очень притянутое сравнение с этим вот всем. И то, это работает только на заглавной.
