Mikael Akerfeldt About Linda Perhacs:
"Well, I love Linda through her music. I met her once in LA (House of Blues) and she was amazing. I just want to do everything I can so that she gets more recognition. For me, she is up there with Joni Mitchelle and Laura Nyro and Buffy Saint Marie. Very, very unique! She is my idol basically--"
Linda about Mikael--
When I saw Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth perform my song “Parallelograms” at the House of Blues in Hollywood a few years ago, I was so amazed. He is like the Great Nordic wind doing a low voiced Wahaaahhhhhh!!! Combined with the biggest, warmest heart you could imagine!
What a combo!! Step aside, ladies, here comes a true Norseman!
While my music is like soft delicate rain, his is magnum powered! And yet, in talking with all of them after their set at the House of Blues, there is a vibe: an invisible essence you feel when someone knows and respects the natural forces of the universe--- like the balances and the winds and mountains and waters etc. He has this deep essence in him. It is a quietness and respect people feel for one another when this unspoken essence is in them. He is a true brother and a friend forever.
