Here's a new interview with Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth!

This session was aired earlier this evening by Crew Rock Radio, in anticipation of Opeth's upcoming show at Bloodstock festival on August 9th. It's an open and honest conversation, and Mikael seems to be on good form as they talk through festivals and other metal bands.

Thanks to Crew Rock for airing this, and to Iro Kalligeri for the incredible photo (taken during Opeth's most recent concert in Athens on July 3rd).

Lastly, apologies for the tensecond gap around the 3:00 mark, when my internet connection briefly cut out. I've minimised this in the final edit, missing only the interviewer starting to ask about fanpicked setlists.

Enjoy.
