Topic: Deathspell Omega Appreciation thread <3 Posted: July 26 2012 at 15:15 |
I think that suffering slightly always is being OK in a way. Idk... There's like a fairly normal level of "ok" which constitutes a bit of suffering from your boring life or something like that.

Well I can get behind that. Suffering is what most humans spend most of their time doing anyway, even if they're unaware of it.

I don't think they're Nazis I think they're very open minded about who should suffer; everyone with no relation to race, gender, sexual orientation, glasses or no glasses :D .

I'd been called a Satanist before and considered it something of a compliment. I'm actually a nihilist.
So yeah. Are these guys Nazis or not? I need some new music.

^ yeah that interview was really early in their career so it'd explain the ridiculously hilarious attempt at kvltness I would like to think they're a bit more rational and... well, intelligent these days :D

Yeah I know what you mean, I like the whole "questioning God side" but until I came here and read that interview, I thought that's all Deathspell was. But they're also all about destruction that's where it gets goofy and simply not logical. But other than the "being happy watching everyone suffer" side they're really cool and I enjoy trying to decipher their lyrics. This is the epitome of Progressive Black metal... almost makes Meshuggah sound like Metallica

Quite an obscure band, yet I believe they just get better and better. I really hope they'll also play live some time despite their current reluctancy. I'm definitely a huge fan!!

I have no issues with Satanism. Satanists tend to be some of the nicest people around.
My biggest hangup with getting into black metal is finding out that the band members are Nazis. I don't want to accidentally enjoy a band fronted by Nazis.
Are any of these guys Nazis?
I dug the first few minutes of what I heard.

Drought is probably my favorite DsO release :O
Yeah atheist Satanism is kinda just extreme Hedonism but there are many variations on Satanism.

I'm not a Satanist but it seems like a rather reasonable belief system (unless we're talking theistic satanism, which is ridiculous).
But the new Deathspell EP is fantastic.

I'm down to discuss some lyrics, I just got into these guys and they're badass... How about just discussing certain songs at a time? I'm not big into reading, and I'm not very much into religon either so a lot of this is very confusing to me. Some of the phrases I'd like to investigate are: "Where cause becomes consequence" and Hegel's quote "Death is the most terrible thing, and to maintain it's works is what requires the greatest strength." Maybe it would just be better to go one song at a time because a lot of this has to deal with it's context, it's not right to take out phrases and just look at those.

I think that "Drought" is probably in my top 3 favorite releases by them. Just incredible.
The Satan thing I feel like they might've taken it somewhat seriously in the beginning but since then they've probably lightened up to some extent.

So new Deathspell what does everyone think? Good stuffs. Really could have been one track the way it flows. It probably was meant to be. Just split into "sections" by parts and lyrical themes I bet.
Also, does everything feel like the Satan "the Haulocaust was great not because it killed Jews, but because it caused suffering, Just like Pol Pot was a great leader for killing his people" attitude is tongue and cheek because their music sounds so evil? Or do you think they are really actual evil terrible people that worship Satan?
I feel like the Satan thing started as tongue and cheek but I can never tell where seriousness begins and ends.

I've been a fan since I first heard Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice. I even used the album title to get bonus points in Latin class. Although my interest in music with that much aggression has waned, I still enjoy their more atmospheric songs.
