** ''Music/DeliveranceAndDamnation'' was intended to be a double album, but Koch and Music for Nations disagreed with this notion and decided to release the albums five months apart. They would eventually be packaged together with the anniversary of both albums, compiled in a limited edition book format containing remasters of the albums.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Sort of. For the ''Lamentations'' concert, the band wanted to play the song "Demon of the Fall" from ''My Arms, Your Hearse'' as an encore, but licensing issues with Candlelight Records prevented them from including it on the DVD, so the band waited until the cameras stopped rolling, then came back out and played it.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: ''Ghost Reveries'' was originally intended to be a ConceptAlbum. Mikael had intended for it to be about a man who thinks he's undergoing DemonicPossession and how everyone and everything seems to be turning against him, but then he wrote the lyrics for "Isolation Years", which had nothing to do with the concept, but he liked the song so much that he scrapped the idea of the concept album, and the album's final track order ended up disrupting the intended "flow" of the story anyway.
** As stated above, ''Deliverance'' and ''Damnation'' were suppose to actually be a ''double album'', but problems with Koch and Music for Nations disagreed with this, deciding to release the albums separately five months apart. When they were remastered, they were bundled together as a double album this time around.

* CreativeDifferences: Why Johan De Farfalla was fired; he was a poor musical fit, and he apparently also wasn't getting along with the rest of the band by the end.

Added DiffLines:

* ThrowItIn: In a sense: The first pressing of ''Orchid'' was ''very'' problematic for the band: For one thing, they wanted the CD to be black, but the pressing had it come out blue. The lyric pages were also the opposite color that of what they originally intended. But the thing that upset the band the most was that the ending of "Requiem" was placed at the beginning of "The Apostle in Triumph", due to a mix-up in the mastering process.

Added DiffLines:

* CreatorBacklash: While he has no ill against the first two albums, Mikael did despised [[FollowTheLeader how many bands were ripping off the riffs and style]] of ''Orchid'' and ''Morningrise'', which is what prompted him to change the band's style to the progressive death metal style they're known for now with ''My Arms, Your Hearse''.
