Damnation by Opeth. It's a goddamn mood. Listen to the album in its entirety on a night by the fire or somewhere dimly lit. Put away your phone and just go into it. You would never guess they're a prog death metal band (or idk what they are now but it's a great contrast to Deliverance).

How is it different?

Damnation was released as an accompaniment to Deliverance.. and they are polar opposites in music style. The imagery conjured by the album titles is in contrast to the material on them... Whether, befitting the genre or not, it works both ways! Deliverance is a typical opeth album (pre Heritage) whilst Damnation was an amazing, essentially acoustic easy listening album.. but still with the lyrical genius. IMO
