Man, that comment. Heard so many variation of that over the years. And it's never more than just ruining everyone's good time. Sometimes including the band.
There are interviews with Åkerfeldt where he tells his side of that story. Apparently some fans were even threatening them. He seems pretty pissed about the whole affair.
This band's profile is 'invisible', meaning that it's much less prominent on the site - either because it's incomplete, or maybe doesn't entirely fit MS format.
