Damnation (album)

Uncommon card · No. 169852

Damnation is the seventh studio album by Swedish progressive metal band Opeth. It was released on 22 April 2003, five months after Deliverance, which was recorded within the same time frame. Damnation is the last Opeth album to date to be produced by Steven Wilson (although he did mix two future albums, Heritage and Pale Communion). Damnation was a radical departure from Opeth's typical death metal sound, and the first Opeth album to use all clean vocals, clean guitars, and prominent Mellotron. Damnation was inspired by 1970s progressive rock, particularly the work of the British band Camel, which typically features no heavy riffs or extended fast tempos. Despite the change in style from Opeth's previous albums, Damnation received good reviews from critics and their fans.
