Damnation is the seventh full-length studio album by the progressive death metal band Opeth. It was released five months after Deliverance which was recorded at the same time. The album was a radical departure from their typical death metal sound and into the much softer, 1970s progressive rock genre and features no growled vocals. The album was critically acclaimed and boosted their popularity, leading to the release of Lamentations on DVD in 2004.

It was Opeth's first album to reach the Billboard Top 200, with a peak at #192. It also charted #14 on the Top Independent Albums chart. "Windowpane" was the album's single and has a music video for it, which is edited down from its original length. Recorded simultaneously with Deliverance, Damnation was entirely devoid of the musical elements of death metal and instead showcased a 1970s progressive rock vibe, with clean vocals and guitar sounds and prominent mellotron. The album was also produced by Steven Wilson, who contributed backing vocals and keyboards, and co-wrote one song, "Death Whispered a Lullaby." Mikael Åkerfeldt dedicated Deliverance and Damnation to his grandmother, who died in a car accident during the recording.

This album is added to the Collecter's Edition Slipcase.

Lamentations is Opeth's first live DVD, released under the Music For Nations label in 2004. This live recording at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on Thursday 25 September 2003, features Opeth playing the album Damnation in its entirety, followed by some of the band's songs from Blackwater Park and Deliverance. The DVD also includes a documentary on both the making of Damnation and Deliverance, which has a running time of approximately 65 minutes. The documentary covers both albums because they were recorded at the same time. A 2-disc CD version of the live recording was released in 2006 in a collector's edition slipcase.

The only song that was played from albums prior to Blackwater Park was "Demon of the Fall" (from the album My Arms, Your Hearse) as an encore song. This song was not filmed for the DVD. Licensing issues with previous record labels prevented this from happening at the time of the disc's release. Given that the band now has the backing of a larger record label, Roadrunner Records, they have the ability to negotiate the inclusion of some of their older songs on future DVD releases (such as The Roundhouse Tapes).

The recording is generally regarded as having exceptionally clear and beautiful sound and visual quality, although Allmusic reviewer John Serba complained of the ubiquity of shots from what he termed the "Åkerfeldt Orifice Cam", showing close-ups of the singer's mouth and nose in excruciating detail.

Blank face in the windowpane.
Made clear in seconds of light.
Disappears and returns again.
Counting hours, searching the night.

Might be waiting for someone.
Might be there for us to see.
Might be in need of talking.
Might be staring directly at me.

Inside plays a lullaby.
Slurred voice over children cries.
On the inside.

Haunting loneliness in the eye.
Skin covering secret scars.
His hand is waving a goodbye.
There's no response or action returned.

There is deep prejudice in me.
Outshines all reason inside.
Given dreams all ridden with pain.
And projected unto the lost.

Oh My Odin, Mikael is my personal jesus. I know that is a contradiction in religions, who fuckin cares, I'm Atheist anyway. This band....this lovely mash of acoustic, metal, clean vox, dirty vox...the wonderland that the entire band weaves is just too godly. They removed anyone that might have been my favorite band and have claimed the spot.
