'''''Damage Done'''''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://metal-archives.com/release.php?id=1264 |title=Encyclopaedia Metallum: The Metal Archives - Dark Tranquillity - Damage Done |publisher=The Metal Archives |date= |access-date=12 February 2012}}</ref> is the sixth [[studio album]] by Swedish [[melodic death metal]] band [[Dark Tranquillity]]. Here, the band returns to a more classic style while holding the changes made in their albums ''[[Haven (Dark Tranquillity album)|Haven]]'' and ''[[Projector (Dark Tranquillity album)|Projector]]'', especially in the keyboards, but this is the first record since ''[[The Mind's I (album)|The Mind's I]]'' that does not feature clean vocals. [[Martin Henriksson]] started doing some "[[lead guitar]] [[riff]]s" on the record, so the band showed influences from ''[[The Gallery (album)|The Gallery]]'' in the duality of lead guitars. [[Mikael Stanne]] said that the lyrics on this album are about the frailty of life.

The song "Cathode Ray Sunshine" is featured in the video game's soundtrack, ''[[Brütal Legend]]''.

Several versions of the album feature a [[bonus track]] entitled "I, Deception" as well as the "Monochromatic Stains" [[music video|video clip]] but it is known that the limited edition [[digipak]] contains them. The [[Japan]]ese version of the album features the bonus track, "The Poison Well". The [[Gramophone record|vinyl]] release includes "I, Deception" and also has different [[album cover|cover art]]. The 2009 reissue includes bonus tracks and digitally remastered audio.

This is the first release for the band to chart. The album cover art which was done by [[Niklas Sundin]] feature's [[Mikael Stanne]] kneeling and holding his head.
