DAMNATION

Opeth "Damnation" is a superlative album from this swedish band. The depresive sounds melting with the enforce that encourage each song, riff guitars, drumming drive to the listener through a ethereal trip to the fantasmagoric and diabolic environment or scapes developed by this album. It´s really fantastic the visible Steve Wilson`s touch not only in the short and long songs by the use of a very skillful mellotron and grand piano. The lyrics interpreted without the astonished and distorsional Mikael Akerfeldt voice get another album`s highlight. I give it four stars because "Damnation" is not a masterpiece but it achieves to be an excellent album to any prog listener... a necessary and sufficient musical jewerly.
