* SongStyleShift:
** The last two ''Deliverance'' songs stand out regarding the usual style for Opeth.
*** "Master's Apprentices" has a Music/MorbidAngel-esque death metal riff that appears in the verses but also a lengthy acoustic midsection that abruptly cuts to a heavier climax.
*** "By the Pain I See in Others" is a complex but mainly heavy number that also has a carnival music interlude.
** The ''Damnation'' songs are generally consistent, but live performances of "Closure" tend to extend the outro into a lengthy jam that contrasts the gentle vocal sections.

''Deliverance'' and ''Damnation'' are the sixth and seventh albums, respectively, by Swedish ProgressiveMetal band Music/{{Opeth}}. ''Deliverance'' was released on November 12, 2002. ''Damnation'' was released on April 22, 2003. The two albums were produced as a DistinctDoubleAlbum - ''Deliverance'' being a heavier album, ''Damnation'' being a softer ProgressiveRock album - but ExecutiveMeddling from their label instead made the albums be released separately, roughly five months apart. The two albums were bundled together for their 2015 reissue, called ''Deliverance & Damnation''.
''Damnation'' is the band's first album to use keyboards extensively. As a result, Per Wiberg was hired as a touring keyboardist for the Damnation tour. He was promoted to full member for the follow-up album, 2005's ''Ghost Reveries'', making him their first full-time keyboardist.

* Mikael Akerfeldt: Lead vocals, guitar
* Peter Lindgren: Guitar
* Martin Mendez: Bass
* Martin Lopez: Drums
[[AC: Additional Musicians]]
* Music/StevenWilson: Keyboards, backing vocals, additional guitar
!! Deliverance troped back at me:
* BreatherEpisode:
** "For Absent Friends" is a calm instrumental sandwiched between the melancholic "A Fair Judgement" and the heavy "Master's Apprentices".
** The relatively upbeat instrumental "Ending Credits" appears between the spooky "To Rid the Disease" and the minimalist DownerEnding track "Weakness".
* DiesWideOpen: The protagonist in "To Rid the Disease" is implied to have known someone who had this happen to them.
--> "I try not to care. Dead eyes always stare."
* DistinctDoubleAlbum: ''Deliverance'' is a heavier album resembling Opeth's usual sound at the time. ''Damnation'' is LighterAndSofter, containing no real metal elements and leaning more towards ProgressiveRock.
* EpicRocking:
** All but one track on Deliverance ("For Absent Friends") is longer than ten minutes.
** The songs on Damnation are shorter, but "Windowpane" (7:44) and "To Rid the Disease" (6:18) still qualify.
* FadingIntoTheNextSong: The piano at the end of the title track leads to the intro of "A Fair Judgement"
* GriefSong: Grief is a prominent theme in both albums, but "Hope Leaves" stands out.
--> "And I know you'll never return to this place"
* HiddenTrack: ''Deliverance'' has two back masked vocal tracks from "Master's Apprentices" about a minute apart, following a period of silence at the end of "By the Pain I See in Others".
* {{Irony}}: "Closure" [[NoEnding has no closure]].
* LastNoteNightmare: "A Fair Judgement" has a pause at the end of its last line, followed by a doomy riff that plays several times until it fades.
* LimitedLyricsSong: "Closure" has two stanzas at the beginning and just one more in the middle.
* LongestSongGoesFirst: "Windowpane" (7:44) is the longest song on ''Damnation''.
* MinimalisticCoverArt: The cover of the reissue containing both albums is merely the Opeth "O" logo on a white background.
* NewSoundAlbum: ''Damnation'' is a softer ProgressiveRock album, albeit one not as pronounced as Opeth's prog-era albums from Heritage onward. It also uses keyboards more prominently than previous albums.
* NoEnding: "Closure" abruptly segues into "Hope Leaves".
* NothingIsScarier:
** There is about a minute of silence between the two hidden tracks at the end of ''Deliverance''.
** Invoked in "To Rid the Disease"
---> "There's nobody here, there's nobody near"
* ShoutOut:
** "For Absent Friends" is titled after a song by Music/{{Genesis|Band}} from ''Music/NurseryCryme''.
** "Master's Apprentices" is named for an Australian progressive rock group that once had a drummer who would later become a founding member of Music/{{ACDC}}.
* SongsOfSolace: "In My Time of Need"
--> "Would someone watch over me in my time of need"
