Progressive Metal
Progressive metal (often shortened to prog metal) is a broad fusion music genre melding heavy metal music, heavy metal and progressive rock, combining the loud "aggression" and amplified electric guitar, guitar-driven sound of the former with the more experimental, cerebral or quasi-classical compositions of the latter. The music typically showcases the extreme technical proficiency of the performers and usually uses unorthodox Chord progression, harmonies as well as complex rhythms with frequent Metre (music), meter changes and intense syncopation. The rhythmic aspects are especially emphasized in the djent subgenre. Although the genre emerged towards the late-1980s, it was not until the 1990s that progressive metal achieved widespread success.

Lamentations features Opeth playing the album ''Damnation'' in its entirety (with the song "Harvest" from ''Blackwater Park'' put in the running order before the last song), followed by some of the band's songs from ''Blackwater Park'' and ''Deliverance''.

Licensing issues with previous record labels prevented this from happening at the time of the disc's release. The DVD also includes a documentary on the making of both ''Damnation'' and ''Deliverance'' because both albums were recorded at the same time. This was the first Opeth release with ...
