Review : Opeth's seventh studio release Damnation marks a drastic change in their signature sound . While recognized and respected earlier by the metal community and fans alike for their heavy and dark approach to progressive music , this time however they have mellowed down and settled with a more accessible , progressive rock sound while still maintaining some of their dark elements and abstract poetry intact . Though this is not my favorite Opeth record of all times it surely is a good one . Very relaxing and soothing side of Opeth . Mikael Akerfeldt's clean vocals are of top notch . No death growls . No abrasive tones here , just blissful Opeth songs to enjoy and maybe hum along once you are acquainted with it . Like recent Opeth albums it’s a grower . I guess Opeth wanted to appeal to a wider variety of listeners with this release and they have succeeded in putting up a record that sublime , dark and enjoyable by any fan of progressive music and beyond .
Rating : 4 outta 5 .
