Departure From Opeth
In May 2007, Peter Lindgren announced that he had left Opeth due to the rigors of life on the road as a touring musician and that he had lost his enthusiasm for playing in Opeth. Both Lindgren and Åkerfeldt said that the split was amicable. Lindgren was replaced by Fredrik Åkesson, a member of Arch Enemy. As of this time Lindgren was working as an information technology consultant in Stockholm and has so far stayed out of public eye.
