Damnation, from the recent interviews with parties involved, will be mostly clean guitars (electric and acoustic) with some distorted moments here and there. It will be prog rock in a very 70's manner, hence the mellotron, but also because of the songwriting/production style. There won't be any death vocals. Martin Lopez said it's his favorite Opeth record so far, so I doubt it'll dissappoint.

I think there are going to be fender rhodes keys too and some percussion stuff like in Wreath.

A Mellotron is an early synth keyboard that loops a certain sound (first strings, then other stuff) and changes the pitch compared to what keys you hit. For instance, the beginning to King Crimson's "Epitaph" or Yes' "Heart of the Sunrise" are good examples.

Just thought I'd clear things up for ya.
