Deliverance was originally released in 2002 and Damnation followed the next year - but Mikael Akerfeldt and co had planned them as one volume. Available in four-disc bookset and triple-vinyl editions, Deliverance & Damnation comes with 5.1 surround mixes, one by Steven Wilson and one by Bruce Soord, redesigned artwork and sleeve notes by Akerfeldt and Prog editor Jerry Ewing.

Akerfeldt says: "The 5.1 surround mix for Damnation was done a while ago by my buddy and co-producer for both albums, Steven Wilson - I've been itching to have it released as it's simply stunning!
