We last discussed an Opeth album way back in November 2020 on our fourth ever episode. We finally circle back to the prog metal icons with an in depth breakdown of 2003’s Damnation. A fascinating counterpoint to Deliverance which was released only a few months earlier, Damnation showed a softer side for the Swedes. But what did the guys think?
