A Gothenburg classic finally gets the analog monument it deserves. It’s taken over two decades, but at last, the wait is over: Sevan Mater has unleashed the first-ever vinyl pressing of Live Damage, the iconic live performance by DARK TRANQUILLITY, captured during their “Damage Done” era. Pressed on Gold and Black swirl vinyl, limited to just 500 copies, and housed in a stunning gatefold cover, this reissue is nothing short of melodic death metal heaven.

 

Originally released in 2003 as a DVD, Live Damage immortalized one of DT’s most intense and electric live shows – recorded in Krakow, Poland. Now, for the first time ever, that raw energy, that iconic Swedish aggression, and that perfectly balanced blend of melody and brutality has been etched into vinyl grooves for audiophiles and collectors alike. From the soaring leads of The Treason Wall to the punishing drive of Final Resistance, every track explodes with clarity and presence on wax.

 

The vinyl mastering brings new warmth and immediacy to the performance, giving fans the closest thing to being there, without the sweat and flying beer. And the packaging? Absolutely elite. Sevan Mater delivers a luxurious gatefold, featuring rare tour photos, liner notes, and an aesthetic drenched in cold, melancholic elegance.

 

If you’re a fan of At The Gates, In Flames, or if Damage Done was the soundtrack to your early 2000s fury, this release is a must-own. More than just a live album – it’s a time capsule of melodic death metal at its peak.
