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

[AshDLS]

no, but being a black metal group makes them black metal

Uh, which they're not.

 

[all_sins_undone]

k stfu though.

i still think kenose > fas.

kenose is flawless

 

[Agalloch]

Fas is better than Kenose. Kenose is great for a while but doesn't have the lasting power of Si Monumentum or Fas.

 

[all_sins_undone]

nope

 

[Agalloch]

Yep.

Yeah right..

 

[MasterOLightning]

Kenose is probably the best BM album this decade. Fas Ite... is a very good album as well. I'd say it ranks about even with SMRC to me.

^true

 

[Sadguru]

Kenose is probably the best BM album this decade.

No. Just...no.

 

[wankerness]

No. Just...no.

Wow, you sure showed him!

 

[Sadguru]

Wow, you sure showed him!

Yeah, I know...

 

[all_sins_undone]

sadguru fails

 

[MasterOLightning]

No. Just...no.

Would you care to elaborate? I suppose it is a bold claim of me to make considering I have not heard every black metal album released this decade. But I do try to keep up with the acclaimed stuff. Any suggestions?

Well FIRST off, your quote is wrong simply because SMRC is miles better in the first place. If you can't understand this, then you ned to listen to SMRC more.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I would rank SMRC higher if it were more concise. Either a few repeats should have been cut out or a song or two should have been. The second half of the album is also weaker on the whole. The prayer tracks are interesting, but I prefer the approach they took on Kenose in integrating these elements into the songs. Mass Grave Aesthetics is also a good example. Fas actually didn't do a very good job of this.

 

[all_sins_undone]

kenose > just about anything by anyone though
