Shrouded in mystery, they used to play a more typical (but very good) raw sounding black metal but 'Si Monvmentvm Reqvires, Circvmspice' saw the progression on to a more modern, intelligent form. They are perhaps most famous for their lyrical content which is concerned with satanism on a metaphysical level. You have to see and hear the lyrics for yourself to gauge why they're so phenominal.
Probably my fave black metal band really.

This post always gets completely off topic. In a way, its respectful that the band is mostly unknown. I don't think anyone can really make room to judge them or ever say they're selling out, haha. They've just created something of their own and stay completely in the shadows. I've read that one interview from AJNA, but that was it..I think. Even if they would come out as a band, things wouldn't change..hopefully.

Written by [user id=4365] on 01.09.2008 at 12:04 exactly. plus you don't have to contemplate on the persona of the band members. i really hate when all the discussions about a band is basically about the members, and not about the music.

I think I'll be getting those too as well. I remember hearing some SVEST, but don't remember what it was like. And releasing a split cd as two different minicd's is a fucking rip-off.

It means that an opportunity to get svest some much deserved exposure might be missed. Most people buy CDs and most of these people won't pay extra to get the other half of this split if they haven't heard of svest. What's really frustrating about this is that there doesn't seem to be any reason for this aside from making money.

New track is burning my ears like hot wax. Fuck this technical wankery. I want Shaxul back.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 10.12.2008 at 14:20 definitely. the stuff on those two Manifestations released this year easily beats everything religious they put out.

Written by Damnated on 10.12.2008 at 15:48 I beg to differ there. I like the old stuff but prefer the religious stuff by far.

Written by [user id=4365] on 11.12.2008 at 16:01 Heard it yesterday and I totally agree with you. This is their best so far. What especially works well is when they shift down a gear and slow down parts. I listened to it on a good stereo and a mediocre one and this certainly a release to be listened to over a good stereo with a lot of bass in it. Btw, I don't understand people calling this ep technical. There is nothing technical about the song at all imo.

Written by Lucas on 28.11.2008 at 16:43 Actually the split vinyl 12" is twice as expensive as the ep cd. So, not a rip off, just weird imo to release it as two ep's

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 21.12.2008 at 15:20 Then that's a rip-off too.  I want to check it out, but I'm broke.  Next month.

Written by [user id=4365] on 21.12.2008 at 17:18 And even Fas I don't consider technical at all. Fas is actually an album that comes across best over a pair of really good headphones and played in a a good stereo so not over the computer via mp3. As for the new ep it really is well paced and considered. All the breaks are in just the right place.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 21.12.2008 at 17:22 what do you mean? if one plays Fas in mp3 format one hears technical gibberish while playing it from an original cd one hears amazing black metal

Written by Damnated on 25.12.2008 at 15:06 what technical gibberish? There is nothing technical about that album at all. Maybe it sounds disjointed to you (that doesn't mean it is technical) But that's the problem with listenign to it over a computer as mp3s, the quality is so much less than on an actual cd over a proper stereo with good headphones. Okay you don't like it, but calling it technical is just non-sensical.

I just ordered Veritas Diaboli Manet in Aeternum, both the Deathspell Omega and SVEST. That is kind of an awkward deal, but its still the same price as some other CDs I've seen in shops like Kataklysm or something. It costs 9 Euro for each one. I look forward to adding this to my growing collection! Oh! I can't wait to get my hands on it! And I'm keeping this order on the down low since this is the "secret" account

I've been meaning to check out Deathspell Omega for a long time.. Then again I've been meaning to check out lots of bands. Anyways can some people recommend me their best releases?. So far I've heard good things about the releases Si Monvmentvm Reqvires, Circvmspice and Kénôse I just want some of your thoughts.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 25.12.2008 at 17:51 nothing technical? what do you call the mixture of constant tempo changes, layered and atonal riffs, varying time signatures, lack of choruses if not technical? the music also has a post-rock sound structure, starting from a simple core evolving in it's complexity, not built around riffs, but more on atmosphere and ambiance.

The song from their side is really strong, haven't heard the SVEST part yet. 'Chaining the Katechon' is definitely better than their release on Crushing the Holy Trinity. I have nothing against that song, but I got a better vibe from the VDMA release. Why is that not on metalstorm yet?
