Mike i just want to apologize. In Charlotte nc back in 2011 when you guys played with Katatonia i was a very bad drunk and said you sucked when you started playing a solo song from damnation without the band. I actually got thrown out(well deserved) but ive been sober for 9 years now.
Was there... I was frustrated by the lack of respect for Katatonia and even Opeth. It was a good show but the public in general was Very Very annoying. Glad you are Sober & TCB.
I had to pause the video just to laugh. His comparison was so random that he said it with a straight face just to see the reaction of the interview, but he didn't understood the joke. Thank you Mikael.
The first opeth album I ever heard was Morning Rise. Completely changed everything for me. After all the amazing music they have put out throughout the years After all these years my top 5 albums in order are still, Morning Rise, Still Life, My Arm's Your Hearse, Orchid, Blackwater Park.
I have an advice - the interviewer should be miked up, as well, equally as the interviewee. We should not struggle to hear the question. Otherwise an ok interview.
It seems to be an album to returnig to the more extremely roots of its music.Where the Opeth keeps its progressivism and experimentalism out to embrace the dark and phantasmagoric one. And it'll be as good as everything ever done by Opeth.However,"tik-tok"record should not be a fairly nomination for it. Because its music is something to become a stuff stable not being likely a product to lifespan shorter.
@@trendmassacre8423 I would not say"polically correct"but marketing strategy to display something to public!I mean how to sum your product to people have understand that. And the term Tiktok coined by him to describing his music should not be a grand apresentation or categorisation for that one. There's no essemble of being polically correct or not it is just a point of view brought by myself up that concerns over marketing strategy,which the band has to show to be selling its product.
@@Ventryx It wasn't a joke,I completely disagree!But emptiness words to describe that.And some people like you can understand as a childish or something like it,other might not share the same point. The critically that I made was about how the album apresentation came down to.
Hate it when the interviewer talks more than the person being interviewed. I want to hear MA answer the questions, not the other guy paraphrasing over the top, constantly!
I don't think people understand how much I/some people want to hear so many different songs....people don't understand, in this quick world. pisses me the fuck off. also Clark was fucking awesome.
@@gerhitchman Im sorry but you and I know that the song they just dropped sounds nothing like sorceress (coming from someone that saw them on that tour)
I quit caring after Watershed, I tried listening to the last 4 albums but couldn't get into that 70 style influenced prog rock he was going for. I heard S1 and it drew me back into Opeth within the first 10 seconds, and now I cannot wait to listen to the rest of the album!
@@maxerea4380no, it isn't. Bloodbath has a vocalist. It'd be a ridiculous thing to ask. Should he have been asked if he's gonna step in for Jonas on another full Katatonia album, too? The first half of Bloodbath's career was great but it is not at all important to ask about it.
A word of advice to the interviewer, shut up and let your guest talk and ONCE they get done speaking THEN ask the next question and repeat the process!!
Mike describes the new album: “it’s like TikTok”
Classic tongue in cheek Mikael 🥸
he loves to do a little trolling
Damn i wish TikTok was like Opeth
😆
@@thiagobelline from the next album onwards, it will be!
I love Mikael's soundtrack for Clark!
i really like listening mikael just talk

Good on ya mate for addressing those issues
Well, that's good of you and I'm happy you're sober since it sounds like the best way for you, but I'm pretty certain he wouldn't remember that at all
@@EverestBlizzardalso, if he did, he ain't reading it here
@DouglasHeeren-k1whe would have been crucified on an upside down cross on stage!

Glad you are Sober & TCB.
i laughed so hard when he said the album is like Tik Tok, in a really unhappy with the comparison tone
I had to pause the video just to laugh. His comparison was so random that he said it with a straight face just to see the reaction of the interview, but he didn't understood the joke.
Thank you Mikael.
Great interview overal! I just wished the interviewer also had a microphone and didn't interrupted Mikael too much
classic interviewer mistake. thinks he's being friendly by finishing Mikael's sentences but in fact he's just interrupting
Even the editor cuts off his last se
The interviewer just straight up interrupting Mikael, wth.. we're here for Opeth buddy, not for you.
Yeah shit interviewer tbh
I think he did fine, not once noticed him unnecessarily interrupt
I thought he was very amateurish. Totally agree
Totally agree! This interviewer ruined the vibe throughout.
Totally ruined this interview - constantly interupting Mikael's flow
So confirmed more songs with more growls! Hell yeah!
It would have been so funny if all but the first track were Nepenthe 😂
Yep, lots of growls throughout (said a guy on youtube who got an advance copy).
i cant deal with interviewers that interrupt guests.
Aww... Mikael
Interviewer: How would you describe the new album?
Mikael: It's like uhm TikTok
xD
Mikael you are awesome 🤘🤘🖤🖤
I like band photos lol 😅 especially the Still Life - Watershed era photos.
Still Life is still the best ♥️🖤
My fave album of theirs 🤘

So excited I cannot wait for my box set!!!
Nice bit of pryma at the start 🤘
ORAN!!! You legend ... see you soon, I hope !!!!
Everyone pronounces his first name incorrectly. It's "Mick Ale"
See you October 27th in Denver! 😊
Oct 24th in Austin. Can't wait!
Hooray Mikael! Extreme prog metal living legend. We are not worthy.
I have an advice - the interviewer should be miked up, as well, equally as the interviewee. We should not struggle to hear the question. Otherwise an ok interview.
... and bloody Orchid!!
please come to philly dam it
That's what I'm saying.... how'd they choose Pittsburgh over Philly??🤬

So you felt the need to become politically correct?

Thanks for this!
Interviewer needs to shut the hell up and listen. We are here because of Mikael. Let him talk.
His name is Lars Mikael Åkerfeldt, not Mikael Neil Åkerfeldt 😥
Platinum medal !
Yes, i knew the album had something to do with Succession! 😎
Opeth je viens vous voir pour la troisième fois..a bientôt en Belgique ❤❤❤tickets déjà en poches ❤
seems like mikael is a big fan of sucession
❤🔥❤
🖤🖤🖤
If you just release the record to me, I pinky promise to not let anyone listen and I'll write a top tier review!
🤘👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹🤘OPETH from Poland 🇵🇱🇵🇱
Sweden* 🇸🇪
Wait, wait.... Mikael NEIL Akerfeldt??

That interviewer is clueless (about past shows, Clark, etc) and is interrupting non-stop...dude shut up and research beforehand
May as well just ask a diehard Opeth fan to do it. 👀 Like dude, do you know what genius you're in the presence of?! 😤😆
Holy shit when MA refers to a record as dark you know he aint playing around!
he referred to sorceress at dark so

@@trendmassacre8423 100%!!!!
got a little messy at the end there
let the guest speak, please!
This interviewer is yapping too much man
So why isnt he asking if he would make another album with Bloodbath?
Because it's not important
@@petershortland478 It IS important.
I don’t think so, or at least I think it’s not a priority for him. Besides Bloodbath already has a vocalist
No point of asking that, Nick Holmes is the singer of Bloodbath
@@maxerea4380no, it isn't. Bloodbath has a vocalist. It'd be a ridiculous thing to ask. Should he have been asked if he's gonna step in for Jonas on another full Katatonia album, too? The first half of Bloodbath's career was great but it is not at all important to ask about it.
Fans are not allowed to choose 🤘🤘
let him speak! interviewer talks so much, it's so annoying
Mikael is constantly interrupted towards the end... tbh kind of annoyed by the interviewer
Why is he interrupting the poor man and not letting him speak? 🙄
I can’t stop noticing how similar Mikael and Asmongold look, even their expressions
W
We see that he just want to be creative and f**k off all business side and bs but he must do so he do!
What happend with axle? Did he not get the jab?
Oh! He has a REALLY long beard now!
what? who has a long beard?
I wouldn't call that a really long beard lol
@@henrywalton5967 nah not that long but I was surprised at first sight. xD
Irish interviewer and failed to ask him about a Dublin show
A missed opportunity by the interviewer.
A word of advice to the interviewer, shut up and let your guest talk and ONCE they get done speaking THEN ask the next question and repeat the process!!
Mikael [mee-kaa-ell] Åkerfeldt [o-kerr-felt]
Why is the interviewer interrupting all the time? Freaking annoying!
So annoying interviewer, interrupting like crazy
but am I the only one who hates growling? For me "In Cauda Venenum" it's an absolute masterpiece
Terrible interviewer.
Let the man speak this is annoying to watch.
The interviewer ruined the vibe completely imo
I double dare you to interrupt Abbath the way you did with Mikael .
