Deliverance by Opeth
Deliverance is an album by Opeth, released in 2002. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 8 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Deliverance”, on 8 lists with a best position of #29.
Deliverance, Opeth's sixth album, came out on 12 November 2002, and it's one half of a deliberate split personality. The Swedes recorded it between 22 July and 4 September 2002 alongside Damnation, which followed five months later: that record got the band's soft, progressive rock side, and this one got everything with teeth. Steven Wilson produced.
It's widely rated the heaviest thing Opeth ever made. Mikael Åkerfeldt's growls and guitar lead Peter Lindgren on guitar, Martín Méndez on bass and Martin Lopez on drums through long, lurching compositions steeped in brutal death metal. The acoustic passages and sudden dynamic shifts are still there, but they only make the pummeling land harder. The title track, a sprawling bruiser, is the one that keeps turning up on the countdowns.
