About this album
Damnation is Opeth’s seventh full-length studio album, released in April 22, 2003, following the band’s previous album Deliverance the year before. The album was a radical departure from their typical death metal sound and into the much softer, 1970s progressive rock genre. The album was critically acclaimed and boosted their popularity, leading to the release of Lamentations on DVD in 2004.
It was Opeth’s first album to reach the Billboard Top 200, with a peak at #192. It also charted #14 on the Top Independent Albums chart.Windowpane was the album’s single and has a music video for it, which is edited down from its original length.
Recorded simultaneously with Deliverance, Damnation was entirely void of the musical elements of death metal and instead showcased a 1970s progressive rock vibe, with clean vocals and guitar sounds and prominent mellotron. The album was also produced by Steven Wilson, who contributed backing vocals and keyboards, and co-wrote one song,Death Whispered a Lullaby. Mikael Åkerfeldt dedicated Deliverance and Damnation to his grandmother, who died in a car accident during the recording.

generic, dull, unimaginative, stupid and with mtv lyrics and song-structures, only Opeth fans can listen to this kind of crap and pretend it's good

People thinking it sounds like U2 or Coldplay (two bands I like, not the problem) should seriously wash their ears.

mastrerpiece! no doubt, pure masterpiece! why people are comparing that music with any other? or any album with any other music? If you like this- then you like THIS, if you don't, then you do not. simply, isn't it? don't say "this is shit, because nightwish is much better". if you dont like this, you shouldnt make an effort to live a shout here.

@BaselineOOO This is CD only about 1 million times better than the cheesy extra lame nu-metal, Emo-friendly, eMpTV -orientied, corporate pile of bullcrap like the new Nightwish or Evanwho? Come on. Your mentions are a brainless joke. Hahahahahha, at least I can laugh with people like you. Keep it up, laughter is a good thing apparently.
