Half their fanbase lost their minds. The other half put \u003cem\u003eDamnation\u003c\/em\u003e on repeat and didn't surface for a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere its companion piece \u003cem\u003eDeliverance\u003c\/em\u003e bludgeoned, \u003cem\u003eDamnation\u003c\/em\u003e goes quiet in the most unsettling way possible. Mikael Åkerfeldt buried the growls entirely and delivered forty minutes of progressive rock melancholy that owes more to Camel and early 70s British prog than anything happening in the Stockholm metal scene. It shouldn't work as an Opeth record. It absolutely works. The Swedes have always understood that darkness doesn't have to be loud, and \u003cem\u003eDamnation\u003c\/em\u003e remains one of the starkest proofs of that in the band's catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwedish progressive rock, 2003 full length.
