Deathspell Omega - Paracletus

[Ellestin]

ok downloading this in spite of merciless hatred for FAS. We'll see how the so-called "merger of styles" works.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

It's actually quite good.

so so good. Listened to it about 5 million times already.

 

[Agalloch]

Malconfort is just one of the coolest, most intense tracks I've heard maybe ever.

 

[Agalloch]

I don't think people who hated Fas will like this, but I think this holds to repeat listens more than Fas does.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Should I even bother?

 

[Dev]

Track no. 6 'Epiklesis II' is interesting. Was bored by the rest.

 

[Ellestin]

Should I even bother?

not really, no. As bland as expected. Though better than Fag Ite Malerectum by a long stretch, this is nowhere near the indomitable spite and riffing goodness of everything up to SMRC, sadly.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Checked the track that Dev linked to me. Meh. The intro is interesting than it just gets dumb.

 

[lurch70]

the intro is interesting because it sounds like Blut Aus Nord.

as far as the rest ... i think i finally figured out what DO sounds like ... you know when by accident you have 2 browser windows open and you have the same youtube video playing in both at the same time but each started at different times ... there you go!

I have listened to this about 10 times now, and I fucking love it. The melodies woven into the technical dissonance are fucking brilliant; they just come across as downright evil.

This is an example of how the intrinsic qualities of an album can be more or less dented by the name of the band doing it.

(IMO OFC)

Another great and informative post. Thanks man!

 

[Ellestin]

I just had 2 Deathspell tracks running at once, and I was thinking "Shit... this sounds good."
Having said that, I really like that Devouring Famine track, a lot.

 

[Caelum Adustum]

Brilliant album. It is a musical novel in itself & ties the trilogie perfectly (which i would say really begins with Kénôse tbh).

Is there any evidence that Mikko Aspa is the vocalist? because i do not believe it despite similarities. I've noticed the way he (the singer) pronounces "sublime" sounds like the way a francophone might mistakenly pronounce it, & i've heard my wife say "vine-uh-ger" before, too .

Also, it's spiffy that they use more French...

 

[swizzlenuts]

Why do you care if he's the vocalist?
