Damnation is the seventh studio album by Swedish progressive metal band Opeth. It was released on 22 April 2003, five months after Deliverance , which was recorded at the same time. Damnation is the last Opeth album to date to be produced by Steven Wilson although he did mix two future albums, Heritage and Pale Communion .
Opeth was formed as a death metal band in April 1990 in Stockholm, Sweden, by David Isberg, with some friends from Täby; [2] [7] Isberg was the lead vocalist. [8] The band name was taken from the Wilbur Smith novel The Sunbird, in which Opet is the name of a fictional city. [9]
The second album, Damnation was released a year later, and peaked at number 192 on the Billboard 200. [4] [6] Per Wiberg joined the band as a keyboardist and recorded Ghost Reveries, which peaked at number 64 on the Billboard 200. [6] Lopez and Lindgren both left Opeth and were replaced by Martin Axenrot and Fredrik Åkesson.
Isberg invited him to play bass for Opeth and Åkerfeldt accepted the offer. When he came to the rehearsal, however, none of the other members of the band knew Mikael was coming and they did not want to kick out the bass player they already had. The ensuing argument played out with all the members of Opeth (aside from David) leaving.
Lamentations features Opeth playing the album Damnation in its entirety (with the song "Harvest" from Blackwater Park put in the running order before the last song), followed by some of the band's songs from Blackwater Park and Deliverance.
All of the songs on My Arms, Your Hearse are shorter than ten minutes, whereas on Opeth's previous album, Morningrise, every song exceeds this length. The album is dedicated to Lee Barrett (of Candlelight Records). [3] The title of the album is derived from the lyrics of the song "Drip, Drip" by the band Comus. [4]
To rightwing church movement he follows, Pete Hegseth's nomination is an answered prayer amid push for Christian influence in government and military.
David Isberg formed Opeth in April 1990 with Mikael "Micke" Bergström, Dan Nilsson, Martin Persson and Amirion "Rille" Evén. [1] During an early rehearsal, Isberg brought in Mikael Åkerfeldt to replace Persson on bass without informing the rest of the band, all of whom he fired following the event.
