=D

Oh yes, i cant wait! the last part of the trilolgy is upon us!

If this is really the cover art, it kind of reminds me of Leviathan's ''Massive Conspiracy...''.

This should be an awesome release, looking forward to it.

Already nervous =P

Just finished the first listen. This is... Incredible. Transcendental.

Bow to the masters.

One of the most complete and simply stunning pieces of art ever created.

Awesome!!!

I've listened to this one a couple times through now. I'd say it's okay, but really nothing to get too excited about. They do have a neat way of layering the sound, especially evident on Apokatastasis Panton, but I would rate this middle-of-the-pack as far as 2010 releases are concerned.

The fact that anyone could possibly begin to justify giving this album a 1 or 2 rating is an insult.

That usually happens when an album starts to get highly praised, then someone gives it 1 or 2 just for the sake of downrating it. Nevermind, it doesn't affect the album's real value after all.

Just listen with good headphones, and close your eyes.


Need to say anything?

Clearly the crescent exposition suffered by the band was urging for a proportional crescent accessibility of the sound... -_-'

I would give this a round 7, snapping one point off for slowing things down, and for the abscense of a +10min long song... =/

Listen to the entire trilogy chronologically back to back so starting with SMRC and ending with Paracletus, but without an interruption so 166+ minutes of DSOon the trot.
I know it's along haul, nut let me guarantee you it's worth it and so much more things on all three albums suddenly make much more sense and get an entire different meaning. And then all the Paracletus naysayers will realize what a perfect closer to the trilogy Paracletus is.

Excellent and very mature release.

My first experience with DSO, but a very good one. Will listen to other records.

Epic record. This is technical black metal. It's growing on me. Love the drumming.

Especially when it comes to technical music, if I don't listen with good headphones or I listen through my speakers, then it tends to sound like a mess. This added to the possibility of poor production and shit like this is hard to listen to. I'll definetely check this out. I've head good things about DO. Not only that, but Deathspell Omega is probably one of the best band names I've ever heard.

The more I listen to this the weaker it seems. Obvious chord progressions, overtly meandering songs and technical wankery in place of intensity make this a weak link in an otherwise exceptional DsO discography.

I was recommended this band by several people when I told them I was trying to get into BM. I didn't really like it... Yet I love Nyktalgia and Austere...

Is something wrong with me?

Well... this is definitely NOT an album I would recommend to anyone who wants to start to get into BM. Because it's not bm in the traditional sense not to mention it can be hard to stomach to those who don't really listen to this music...

Listen to Kenose or Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice instead of this one.


So... those people just told you one random album without thinking tbh.

That person was Troy

I have accepted BM now, but I still like the Doom Black and shoegaze stuff.

He was obviously trolling then. I don't blame him then.

I told him I was star6ting to like BM and he told me to check out DSO.

I picked the first album I saw...

Uhh.... I always felt it was obvious to always ask before checking a certain band or at least read what others think about the albums. Specially if you know absolutely nothing about them.

Actually I just searched "Deathspell Omega" and this was the first thing to come up :S


I'll try the ones you recommended though.

SMR,Q is more accesible but it's very long (but hey, you can just stop it...) so I'd go for that one. The first three songs (long intro + two songs) sums the atmosphere of the album nicely.

I liked Si Momentum a lot. How does Paracletus and Fas Ite differ from it?

More dense and technical.

Musically, less or more melodic? Less or more tremolo?

There were multiple moments where I thought to myself...wow this is brilliant. Then there were moments where I thought...where is this even going? Overall a very good album.

EDIT: More listens lead to ... it is just brilliant haha.
