Opeth - Damnation (2003)

Post image

Another stunning hi-res recording. This time from the world’s best exponent of Swedish psychedelic progressive extreme folk metal. 

This is an album that would not offend anyone except maybe the hardcore Swedish death metal die-hard who considers this record the moment Opeth sold their souls in favour of enlightenment and creativity. I’m so pleased they did but really the signs were already in evidence in their masterpiece “Blackwater Park” which preceded this record. 

Hey people, get off your musical high horses and listen outside your typical musical genres, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Swedish Death Metal you can play to your church-going 90 year old grandmother or at the very least you are comfortable knowing you don’t have to reach for the volume controls every few minutes to avoid the growly bits.

You can’t be a passive listener with this! It can lull you into your happy place one moment then punch you in the temporal lobe when you are all nice and cosy.
