OUT ON 15<sup>TH<\/sup> DECEMBER (MUSIC FOR NATIONS)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To mark the 20th anniversary of&nbsp;Opeth&#8217;s&nbsp;ground-breaking 2003 album  Damnation, a special vinyl re-issue was recently announced, which has been meticulously crafted to pay homage to a pivotal and trailblazing moment in the band\u2019s illustrious history. Originally recorded in the serenity of&nbsp; kerfelt\u2019s&nbsp;native Sweden, with additional production from Porcupine Tree\u2019s Steven Wilson, the album acclaimed by fans and critics alike has since received a re-mix and master in 2015, pressed to vinyl on a double LP together with the dichotomous  Deliverance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now just a month away from its release, Music For Nations have re-discovered the long lost video for the single  Windowpane. Originally released in 2003, the Fredrik Odefj rd directed video has been digitally processed from the archival tape for 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the video now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/juxHzSlMbNQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Released on 15<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;December (Music For Nations) this marks the first time exclusive and deluxe vinyl pressings have been given to  Damnation. A record that represents a paradigm shift in the band\u2019s approach to composition, seeing them side-line their metal roots from the forefront of their arsenal. Instead replacing it with an additional insight into ambience, atmospherics, and progressive rock, this together with&nbsp; kerfeldt\u2019s&nbsp;signature lyricality and musicianship creates a unique record of ethereal beauty and longing, and one which remains top of mind for many&nbsp;Opeth&nbsp;fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 20<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Anniversary versions sees the 2015 re-mix and remaster pressed to standard black vinyl, as well as being available on deluxe and limited colour finishes, and for the&nbsp;very&nbsp;first time available on an exclusive picture disc that highlights and reflects the album\u2019s ethereal and bleak visual world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pre-order now:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/opeth.lnk.to\/Damnation20\">https:\/\/opeth.lnk.to\/Damnation20<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking on the release, the band\u2019s lead vocalist Mikael&nbsp; kerfeldt&nbsp;comments,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em> Hello folks! Our old &#8220;partners in crime? Music For Nations are planning a 20th-anniversary re-release of one of our odd records, this time  Damnation. We want our records available on vinyl at all times, and it turns out we can\u2019t keep stock! Our vinyl editions are flying out. I\u2019ve seen it with my own eyes when I helped out in a record shop during the pandemic. Some customers didn\u2019t know they\u2019re buying it from one of the people responsible for the music. Of course I went:  Good record, good band!. So before there\u2019s any moaning about  another reissue, another cash grab? I want to stress out that it really comes down to public demand. We\u2019ll present Steven Wilson\u2019s updated mix (first available in 2015 or thereabouts) on limited edition opaque and transparent vinyl as well as on a picture disc, which I believe is the first time ever.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&nbsp; Damnation is a special record, even if they\u2019re all special to me. I remember hearing the first mix on headphones in a crummy hotel somewhere in the UK. I had trouble believing it was us, myself, Peter, Lopez, Mendez (as well as ol? Steve on keys). It was completely different from anything we\u2019d done up to that point, and quite frankly, since. Out of all of our records, I think this one is most suitable for the vinyl format due to the fact that it is not really cluttered with stuff. A pretty airy recording with 5 musicians and done on 2 inch tapes as well. It\u2019s a record I\u2019m immensely proud over and it also remains a fan-favourite I believe.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commenting further Steven Wilson adds&nbsp;<em> At the time I remember getting death threats from metal fans for  ruining the band! &nbsp;As if it could be anyone\u2019s intention but Mikael\u2019s to do a record like that anyway. &nbsp;Damnation was when everyone understood that he was not going be trapped within the confines of any genre or label, and that the band\u2019s importance and influence would be far reaching. &nbsp;Rightly so Damnation is now seen as a timeless masterpiece, and I\u2019m very proud to have had my part in making it. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>TRACKLISTING<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Side A<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 &#8211; Windowpane<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2 &#8211; In My Time&nbsp;Of&nbsp;Need<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3 &#8211; Death Whispered&nbsp;A&nbsp;Lullaby<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Side B<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 &#8211; Closure<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2 &#8211; Hope Leaves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3 &#8211; To Rid&nbsp;The&nbsp;Disease<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4 &#8211; Ending Credits<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5 &#8211; Weakness<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Opeth&nbsp;?&nbsp;Damnation;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mikael&nbsp; kerfeldt&nbsp;? vocals and lead guitar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peter Lindgren \u2013 rhythm guitar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Martin M?ndez \u2013 bass guitar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Martin Lopez \u2013 drums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VINYL REISSUE OF DAMNATION?
