Album Notes & Community Reviews
Representing a deliberate stylistic departure from their death metal roots, 'Damnation' eschews heavy distortion and harsh vocals in favor of sombre melodies, prominent keyboards, and clean vocal harmonies. The acoustic-driven album highlights the band's folk-indebted songwriting and introspective structural approach.
