Deathspell Omega: Third Prayer thru' to Malign Paradigm

I'm glad I came back in here, Blut Aus Nord mp3s and Vader getting crazy while I'm staring at DARK HELMET??!!

That's like, 7 stars at least.
 
Feck, I get these terrible java pop-ups (in Firefox) when visiting yousendit :| I've never seen it before, so is it only me or have yousendit sold out?

Oh, and could someone upload one track from the Lunar Aurora album everyone is ranting about please? I've heard Elixir for Existance which was pretty mediocre, the only really good song (Hier und Jetzt) was also the sample I heard before getting the whole album. Hmpf.

well maybe if you listened to it MORE you would not only notice that the album is called "elixir of sorrow", but also that it mostly fucking rules and that songs like "angenblick" and "zorn aus äonen" are just about as good as "hier und jetzt"

Haha ok:

But I agree, Zorn aus Äonen is also good, but then that's about it.
Though Haudiga Flaug from the split with Paysage d'hiver is really cool, so I have not lost all hope.


@Dev: Thank you very much

i may buy deathspell omega, but it seems they have zero epicness to them, so that's a minus.

No, it's epic alright...shit, I wouldn't like it otherwise. I am the king of epic. This isn't the sort of thing that you'd play on random song order. (How anyone can do that I don't know) but this is three parts, divided by three "prayers".....

It's tough to even sample because one song doesn't really reflect the entire album.
 
If you like any sort of decent metal then just buy the goddamn album.
I can't imagine anyone who likes good black metal not liking this album, in fact I would almost go as far as to agree with Opeth 17 that it's the greatest black metal album ever.
 
It's a far shot from being "the best ever", but it's definately the best pure black metal album that's been released the last five years. Maybe even more.
 
Good point, but I did say I would "almost" agree, there is just too much out there to ever make a statement like that and be sure it's true.
Either way, it's my favorite.
 
That statement obviously implies that it is the best black metal album I've ever heard, you obviously can't place it above something you haven't listened to, but those releases don't factor in for the same reason. If you can't claim an album to be the best there is or your favorite for lack of having heard everything that genre has ever released, then there would be no great albums because they would be great in comparison to what?

I also don't put "classic" releases on some worship level that should make me like them or respect them more than another release because they are older or helped innovate a genre/idea. I look at things in terms of quality musically and separate their influence, importance and other non-factors into a separate category. The best and most important albums do not, in fact, have to have anything to do with each other.

Some may argue Transilvanian Hunger or Pure Holocaust are the best black metal albums ever. To me, they aren't, though they were obviously important albums. Where it actually counts, in the music itself, SMR,C > either of those albums. Sorry if I'm not sentimental enough to restrain myself from committing blasphemy.

(I really like Carnal Malefactor :Spin: )
 
Anyone know if Deathspell Omega has a band email address? I emailed Drakkar Productions about a possible re-issue of Hirilorn's "Legends of Evil and Eternal Death" and they said it was up to the band. I found an old Hirilorn email address but it no longer works.

blut aus nord sucks. deathspell omega is really good. overrated by some, but really good.

truth, but I've only heard one Blut Aus Nord album. I'm entirely willing to give their older stuff a shot!
 
I think I've heard the Hirilorn/Merrimack split and maybe something else by them, which could be summed up from my very vague memories as :kickass:
