Deathspell Omega - Fas - Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum

Beyond black, beyond metal.

Holy fuck!!!! I just picked this up at the record store as a random buy, and i don't have the words to even begin to describe this brilliant work of art. I will in a few months though....

How I wish I could just walk into a record store and find stuff like this you did the right thing.

Good, but nothing more "flies away"

I bought this album a few years ago and only appreciated it. I thought it sounded a little too thinly produced ( scattered or web-like?) Listening to it recently It's become my favorite DSO album. It's really cool how the tempo is up-kept, changed, and bounced between the instruments and it just keeps coiling and shifting throughout. I'd say the seemingly thin production helps everything stand out, what with the velocity of tempos and melodies coming at you.

Still their best
*runs and hides from the Si Monumentum and Kenose lovers*

Nah, I gotta agree. Kenose and Si Monumentum are great but this is a whole nother ball game.

The quality of their music truly dropped with this album.

This album actually reminds me a lot of Mayhem's "Ordo ad Chao". I mean, the albums sound nothing alike, in actuality, but I feel they share a very similar essence. They're both very dense, chaotic-sounding albums with a lot of crazy black metal experimentation going on. Funny that they were both released only a few months apart.

I may actually enjoy this more than Kenose. I may enjoy it more than a lot of albums, to be honest. Going to have to bump my rating up.

Anything after Inquisitors Of Satan is for pretentious hipsters

Rose again with Unchaining the Katechon and Mass Grave Aesthetics though. Then plummeted with Paracletus, with only one good song on =[

Hands down the worst of the trilogy of pretentious anti-christianity.

Isn't it more pro-Christianity, seeing as they love Satan and that?

Still a fine album at any rate. Like 8 or so.

Well wikipedia says that is pretentious satanism. So I guess I was wrong.
I thought I would love this just like Si Monumentum and Kenose, but the songs here are completely unremarkable, nothing sticks to my head.

I only tried Si Momentum a long back and was so bored by it back then that I haven't bothered to check them out. Kenose was good, will try to give this a listen.

God this album is a fucking masterwork.

This is the thread for Fas, maybe you meant Paracletus?

Shieeeet, I meant Si Monumentum. I didn't notice that mistake

You meant, Si Monumentum instead of Fas, or you thought this thread was Si Monumentum?

The first one

This ones growing on me.

Best album ever written, both musically and lyrically.

Is this suppose to be a sequel/part 2 of Si?

Dillinger Escape Plan on steroids playing black metal. An album like this shouldn't be humanly possible. DSO are truly gods of the genre!

Sometimes I find glimpses of brilliance throughout this album, that's if I have the time, patience, and concentration for it, but for the most part it gets irritatingly complex, and I still find it a chore for the to get through tbh. Shame really

Have you tried Kénôse or Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice? I found those a bit easier to enjoy

I've never listened to that album, but I have listened to Paracletus, and remember getting into that quite alot more than this.

Interesting to see someone losing DsO virginity in reverse order. I never did it and initially got disappointed until it all made sense. When you do have this take hold of you you become patrician. It's the greatest trilogy in anything that is in threes. None of Blut Aus Nord's sets of threes comes close. And Panzerfaust in league with DsO?

My personal Top 3 songs from the album:

The Shrine Of Mad Laughter
A Chore For The Lost
Bread Of Bitterness
