Opeth’s Mikael Akerfeldt: A lot of people are gotten into this band since releasing Heritage

Opeth’s lead vocalist and guitarist, Mikael Akerfeldt, has revealed that a lot of people have started following the band since the release of our latest studio album, Heritage.

The band’s tenth studio album was released earlier this year and the 38-year-old guitarist has insisted that he is seeing very diverse crowd in the band’s recent shows.

“Well, most of them seem to like us. Not just this tour — gradually since we started touring a lot, there has been more of a diverse crowd coming. Especially with this last record [‘Heritage’], there’s a lot of people — I can’t say that they haven’t seen
us before. It just seems like a lot of people have gotten into this band in the later years and with the last record”

“Some people I can even see singing along to the new songs and when we break into a heavier old song, they’re like, “Hmmmm,” and start wondering off. [Laughs] Now we have all sorts of people there, all sorts of ages. We have lots of women coming, which you
can’t complain about. Just a diverse crowd. “Anyone” is maybe farfetched; I don’t think we go down into the hip-hop community. I think once you have a diverse taste in music, I think anyone could like it”, Akerfeldt stated.
