I hope that Opeth is not going the way of Slipknot. That would be sad.
I saw Opeth in concert awhile back
They were fantastic. The lead singer had a cold, but still gave us an awesome performance.
As to lyrics, I am not sure. They aren't one of your blatant anti-Christian bands as far as I know (like Dimmu Borgir or Death) nor are they gore-core (Carcass, Six Feet Under). Everything I have seen of their lyrics has been clean enough, but then I have not seen anything like all of it. I highly encourage you to read their lyrics for yourself before buying.
Musically, they are fantastic and their extended-length death metal epics are a great addition to my metal collection.
