DAMNATION

This is a very drastical change from OPETH's usual Melodic Prog Death Metal Style. Now they just sit back and created a Melancholic Prog album in the vien of old Floyd or Porcupine Tree. The Acoustic creativity of the band and the interesting voice of Mikael Åkerfeldt are now a definitive element in Opeth's music. "Damnation" is an alum you can easily fall in Love with. Because of its melancholy and purity. Tracks like "Windowpane" (in more of a Canterbury feeling here) and "To Rid the Disease" (A floydian masterwork) stand out as two of my av. tracks ever. In short, this is a GRRREAT work, and a brand new experience for Opeth listeners. We're waiting for the new album!
