Dev said:NP . By the way, these tracks are total Monsters, and if their next album is following this direction it might be a little too much even for me. Goddamn Diabolicus Absconditus' intro is almost like Blut Aus Nord and both tracks are 20 mins. But those riffs.. (especially @ 10 and 16 minute )
M.Lehto said:The tracks are not recorded after Kénôse, so they don't really tell what is coming...
JayKeeley said:DsO are a breed apart.
That reminds me, I still need to hear this Lunar Aurora band you guys keep talking about.
Dev said:Not any of the two? Anyway, maybe they will come back to shorter songs. A new one for this year would be sweet

Heres an official statement by the band:
-Diabolus Absconditus (featured on Crushing the Holy Trinity, by Northern Heritage), Mass Grave Aesthetics (split with Malicious Secrets, by EAL) and Kénôse (by Noevdia/Ajna) are being released almost simultaneously in mid-2005. The different background of these recordings demands, however, a slight explanation.
The inception of the two first projects dates back to early 2002, and they emerged from the same recording session. Their lyrical dimension is subsequently a part of the global conceptual work that started with Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice, but they are not to be considered as chronological descendants of this chapter, rather as parallel or preceding statements that may enlighten certain aspects of this, or of future works.
Kénôse, to the contrary, is the immediate follow-up to Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice, in the sense that it is a conceptual appendix to this release, and that it constitutes a preamble to the actual second chapter of the trilogy.
Not much love for Kenose in this thread, which is mildly disappointing,
I know most generally like the Circumspice album, but the last 7 songs on that album are PURE CLASS.
That's like 35 minutes of some of the most supreme atmosphere / innovative songwriting I've heard in BM, no shit.
"Carnal Malefactor", with the whole monk chant thing going on, and straight into blasting riffs is exceptional.
Cannot wait for Kenose to show up. (I bought it blind, here's hoping).
EDIT: I know, I know, I'm late to the DO party....but it only really just clicked with me today.
