On May 17, 2007, Peter Lindgren announced he would be leaving Opeth after 16 years. "The decision has been the toughest I've ever made but it is the right one to make at this point in my life," Lindgren said. "I feel that I simply have lost some of the enthusiasm and inspiration needed to participate in a band that has grown from a few guys playing the music we love to a worldwide industry."<ref name="Lindgren quits">{{cite web| url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/guitarist-peter-lindgren-quits-opeth-replacement-announced/ |title=Guitarist Peter Lindgren Quits Opeth; Replacement Announced |date=June 17, 2007 |publisher=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |accessdate=January 13, 2008}}</ref> Ex-[[Arch Enemy]] guitarist [[Fredrik Åkesson]] replaced Lindgren, as Åkerfeldt explained:
{{Quote|"Fredrik was the only name that popped up thinking about a replacement for Peter. In my opinion he's one of the top three guitar players out of Sweden. We all get along great as we've known each other for maybe four years and he already has the experience to take on the circus-like lifestyle we lead as members of Opeth."<ref name="Lindgren quits"/>}}
