Deathspell Omega - The Synarchy Of Molten Bones



7.8 | 158 votes |
Release date: 8 November 2016
Style: Avantgarde metal, Black metal

Owners:

105 have it
12 want it


01. The Synarchy Of Molten Bones
02. Famished For Breath
03. Onward Where Most With Ravin I May Meet
04. Internecine Iatrogenesis

So here we are. Six years and two EPs later, the mighty Deathspell Omega have returned with new material. It's not "Doomspell Omega" or a reggae black metal album, and sure, one could complain about a rehash of old ideas here. But I'll be damned if it isn't nice to have these titans of French black metal back on the throne showing all their emulators how the game is really played.

Go and get it.

It seems that someone is adding the albums according to MA No one said that it will be an EP.

So its a full length then? Even more awesomeness. Probably should get the format changed here rightaway.

Someone tell me what Internecine Latrogenesis means thanks

The title is misspelled here. It is actually Iatrogenesis, note the "I" in place of "L".

It could mean something on the likes of "Unexpected (mostly harmful/negative) side effects brought by an doctor/physician when trying to cure an illness that affects both the doctor and the patient".

internecine
ˌɪntəˈniːsʌɪn/
adjective
adjective: internecine

destructive to both sides in a conflict.

iatrogenesis. - Any injury or illness that occurs because of medical care.

Weirdly there does seem to be a few entries for "Latrogenesis" on Google in medical texts etc. Can't seem to find if one is an older term or something. Guessing it's not a word used much these days anyway.

I've stopped trying to get any clear idea of where exactly the cutoff is for an EP vs a full album on track time, since bands don't really seem to give a fuck anymore. The Chaos Echoes "EPs" are like 40 minutes long, so is that ambient one Urfaust put out just recently, some grindcore full lengths are only like 20 minutes long, etc. Whatever the band says it is, it is

It was only a matter of time

I am surprised to not see any definite Latin or Greek names, although I'm posting this out before I care to find out about what Laxativegenesis was/is..

Everyone here is seeming to be masterbating themselves edging for a Kenose 2, and I don't blame them, I just have. Anywho, I think this will be competitively exciting to see whether if all the fafffing DsO copycats will finally be in a league with them. Because of them its going to be a much harder game for quality, bar Drought.

It doesn't say that its a full length either. All we have is

Quote:
Released as CD and LP


Which means in this context that it will be released as CD and Vinyl and releasing something on vinyl does not make it a full length

Yeah, I submitted the edit to full length rightaway after the news and K7 flagged it.

It will be 4 songs and under half an hour. So the best guess is that it will be called an e.p.

Has there been any failures? If you are refering to what wrongly is seen as a failure here it will be hard to top. My guess is though that this will be something different than that as these guys dont seem to semi-repeat themselves for more than 1 full length + 1 ep.

Nah, Drought was a failure in my eyes too. Probably great if you like lifeless technical metal but lacked most of the soul of a DsO released.

Dunno why but I feel like this is going to be their slowest release, perhaps even doomy. Just a hunch though.

I mean the Drought Ep. Basically what Joe said, lifeless technical metal without any soul or good songwriting to back it up. Paracletus had at least the depth and a bit of a replay value. I can imagine that it will be some sort of mix of their older and newer period.

I think the calm dissonant almost post-metalish riffs mixed with the furious jazzy parts are great on Drought. A mix of old and new could be on the cards for this but Its been 4 years so my guess is that we will be suprised.

It can be a LP, check Reign in blood. Plus when they announced Drought in 2012 they said :"New Deathspell Omega MCD, In June" MCD is EP. And the new album si considered as CD or LP.

I'm confused NoEvDia still haven't answered my question.

Noevdia has already started pre-orders saying "This LP comes with an insert & A6 card."

I believe it's a full length record which shouldn't get changed due to its length. The funny part is people still getting apeshit on fb whether this is an EP or LP and negating excitement of new DsO.

Whatever the case may be, i'm looking forward to it. "Paracletus" was amazing while "Drought" came to be little bit less interesting.

Who cares about LP or EP. Some bands (Zeal and Ardor comes to mind) release 25 minute LP's and one particular group of Finnish vikings released a 68 minute EP a few years ago. All that matters is if the music is good, and knowing DsO it probably will be.

Which only shows up if you preorder the vinyl http://www.noevdia.com/shop/lp-dlp-gatefold/deathspell-omega-synarchy-molten-bones-lp/

The thing you quoted DOES NOT appear if you preorder the CD http://www.noevdia.com/shop/cd-digipack-digibook/deathspell-omega-synarchy-molten-bones-cd/

Which means when they are saying 'This LP', they are actually saying 'this vinyl'

I haven't seen anything saying it's an EP anywhere. Just "Deathspell Omega will be releasing their new album." That's not necessarily saying it's a full length, but I think it's safe to leave it as that for now until evidence to the contrary arises. So it's been changed back to that. If someone shows me something that in plain letters says it's indeed an EP, it'll get changed back. Until then, stop fucking with it, and remember...

>Chaos Echoes - Tone Of Things To Come (EP): 39:20
>Urfaust - Apparitions (EP): 43:41
>Nails - Abandon All Life (full length): 17:22
>Death Of Self - Mental Disintegration (full length): 9:33

Album length really isn't a factor here. Stop being so numerically focused
