So, this time around I think they were happy and only afterwards, I found out they were confused about it. So, once that was all agreed, they finally said yes. The label stopped me in my tracks until I agreed that the contract stated that is was technically “ One” album and we only get the advance for “ One” album. The record label didn’t like the idea and were thinking we just wanted to get out of the record contract we had with them, but we had to explain to them that it was purely for artistic reasons. MIKAEL – We’ve literally done a ‘ two albums for the price of one‘ in the past with ‘ Damnation/Deliverance‘ (2015). OD – Do you mean two albums for the price of one, for the record label? In actual fact, when you think about it, this is two Opeth albums, and I’m thinking: “ Is this a dream for the record label or is it a nightmare?” OD – Of course, you will have the die hard Opeth fans that will have to get both copies of the album, so that’s double the sales. Like everything with Opeth, we just do what we feel is right and if doing an album just in Swedish is what feels right going forward, then I guess that’s what will happen.

I’m not sure if I want to get to ‘ gimmicky‘ if you know what I mean. I guess, I could also do one in Spanish, but I have to learn the language first. But yeah, it’s very possible that we’ll just do a future album in Swedish. It’s such a new album that I’m only concentrating on touring for now. I have to ask with the variations on the language options, now that there are bilingual language options available, and you’ve stressed that that original one is the Swedish version, do you feel confident in just doing a Swedish language album going forward? So, sit back and let us open the door into the mind of Mr Åkerfeldt… With the pleasantries out of the way, Mikael leans back and candidly talks about the many fascinating things that have brought the band to where they are today.
