2012 EU 8-track audiophile 180gr vinyl LP. On MUSIC ON VINYL label. Catalogue No: MOVLP609. Barcode: 8718469531479.
Before Damnation was released in 2003, all of Opeth’s albums were known for the contrasting black and white, violent and delicate, heavy and light aspects in their music. On Damnation however, they abandoned this concept of short musical interludes separating the band’s explosions of black metal fury and progressive rock. Except for brief moments in “Closure” (with producer Steven Wilson on Mellotron) the listener can’t find one distorted power guitar chord, nor a pounding bass drum or growled vocal on this album. The album is filled with only mellow melancholy, reflective and alluringly mournful tracks like “Windowpane”, “Death Whispered A Lullaby”, “Hope Leaves,” and “Ending Credits.” Condition:BRAND NEW - SEALED
