Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who was the drummer on "Orchid" and "Morningrise"?

Answer: Anders Nordin

A childhood friend of Mikael �kerfeldt. He left the band in 1997 and moved to Brazil, almost causing Opeth to split up.

2. Mikael �kerfeldt was one of the founding members of Opeth.

Answer: False

He got invited by David Isberg to replace their bass player. Only downside was that he forgot to inform the other band members. This led to a fight and in the end all of the other members quit the band. They formed another band called Crowley, recording only one demo-tape before vanishing from the scene completely. Mikael and David continued as Opeth.

3. For which two bands, besides Opeth, did Mikael �kerfeldt perform as lead vocalist?

Answer: Bloodbath and Katatonia

He was the lead vocalist on Katatonia's "Brave Murder Day" and on Bloodbath's "Breeding Death" and "Ressurection Through Carnage".
He did appear on Edge of Sanity's "Crimson" and Ayreon's "The Human Equation" too, but only as a guest vocalist.

4. Which other well-known Swedish metal band was Martin Lopez playing drums for before he joined Opeth?

Answer: Amon Amarth

He was behind the kit on "Once Sent From the Golden Hall", Amon Amarth's first full-length album.

5. Which two Opeth albums were supposed to be released as one double-disc, but eventually got seperated into a heavy and a mellow album?

Answer: "Deliverance" and "Damnation"

"Deliverance" is the heavy album and "Damnation" is the mellow one. They played both albums in full on their live-DVD "Lamentations".

6. Who was the producer for "Blackwater Park"?

Answer: Steve Wilson

Better known as the lead vocalist/guitarist of "Porcupine Tree", a British progressive rock band. He also played as a guest musiscian on the album, and on the two albums following it. The "devious movements in your eyes..." part of "Bleak" is sung by Steve Wilson, for instance.

7. Out of these four vocalists, who has Mikael �kerfeldt never sung on the same album with? In brackets are the bands they are most famous for.

Answer: Peter T�gtgren (Hypocrisy)

He sung with Dan Swan� on Edge of Sanity's "Crimson". He performed together with James LaBrie and Devin Townsend (and many others) on Ayreon's "The Human Equation". Peter T�gtgren, however, replaced Mikael as Bloodbath's lead vocalist on "Nightmares Made Flesh". This was due to Mikael wanting to focus more on Opeth.

8. "Ghost Reveries" was the first official Opeth release to feature Per Wiberg on keyboards.

Answer: False

No, the first release he was on is their live-DVD "Lamentations".

9. Why does Martin Lopez no longer play drums for Opeth?

Answer: Psychological issues

In late 2005, Martin Lopez, for at the time unknown reasons, appeared less and less behind the kit in concert. After some time it became clear it was because he experienced anxiety attacks and quit the band completely in May 2006. Martin Axenrot, who had replaced him during his abscence, became the new drummer.

10. What was the first song Mikael �kerfeldt and David Isberg wrote, that actually appears on one of Opeth's albums?

Answer: Forest of October

Track number four on "Orchid".
It was called "Mystique of the Baphomet" and "Mark of the Damned", before it turned into "Forest of October". It originally had satanic lyrics, but on the album it has lyrics about depression.
