"Deliverance" is the title track of Opeth's 2002 album, and it's Mikael Åkerfeldt's song through and through: he wrote the music and the words, sings lead and plays guitar alongside Peter Lindgren. Martín Méndez handles bass and Martin Lopez the drums and percussion.
The band produced it with Steven Wilson, who also turns up as a guest on guitar, mellotron and backing vocals and helped engineer it, with Andy Sneap on the mix. That's a heavyweight crew, and the title track is where Åkerfeldt's vision gets its fullest airing.
