New Deathspell Omega Split Announced

According to a fan site. This is Mikko Aspa.

There is no concrete information on the band members, only rumors. The main one is that Hasjarl and Shaxul teamed up to form Deathspell Omega after the split of Hirilorn in 1998. Mikko Aspa would have eventually joined the band to replace Shaxul on vocals in 2003 for the recording of SMRC.

the question is who is the brains behind the operationn i've heard some aspa solo projects and it's nasty shit like pornogrindcore or smth, absolutely ridiculous.
 
There are soo many rumors around the place as to who is the writer. The most common one seems to be that its Hasjarl. But they eluded to in an interview that DsO may have a large number of writers and is a collective of the best french underground bm movement. I've even read Neige has had some hand in it.
 
Nar man I read it ages ago. Was talking to cartas about it the other day and searched for where I read it. Where I think it was is a dead link now. It's most likely some dso fanboys idea of trying to see how hard he can get his cock.
 
This is the album I meant BTW, has anyone heard it? Is it good?
Moonblood "Sob A Lua Do Bode" / Deathspell Omega "Demoniac Vengeance", Split LP, End All Life Productions/Sombre Records, 350 copies, 2001
 
From the interview I posted the link to on the previous page: Deathspell Omega is a collective entity of minds (or a force), not to be seen as band members/individuals. Why this approach? Can you say that this will remain a firm stance on your part? And, obviously this would mean no live stations, correct?

- First and foremost, we want to avoid at all costs this very human illusion of being important and gladly leave these fifteen minutes of fame, as Warhol brilliantly put it, to whoever wants them. In regard to what we are trying to understand and dare to praise despite the immense restrictions of human understanding, we are nothing. This being said, we are of course better than most humans, our humility lies on a metaphysical level. Eventually, it should also be considered that we honestly can not say how much of the artistic or intellectual impulses truly come from us, and which percentage of, for example, "Si monumentim requires, circumspice" was conceived through or maybe even despite us. Claiming the paternity of a child with such odd and uncontrollable origins would be very vain, indeed, even if -at least- the credit of being an instrument remains. ("I shall descend in humiliation before Thee - And ascend before men only if thy will ordains me")

There we have it. Not human. As expected. To Ozzloaf: not worth it. Everything before SMRC isn't very good. Inquisitors Of Satan is ok that's about it.
 
Wow, they sound quite pretentious... they come off as intelligent though, which is much more than can be said for most metal bands.

Everything before SMRC is indeed far inferior to their later work. But I quite like the moonblood split. But it is old school dirty black metal, which is rather simplistic, and with little clue to what they would later achieve. It's worth checking their earlier work for curiosity, but don't expect SMRC. I personally still love their older stuff.

Also the idea that Deathspell Omega is moreso a collective rather than a band, is absolutely fascinating. Like how fripp said that King Crimson wasn't so much a band, as a way of doing things.

The prior stuff is not awful and some of it has it's moments. And yeah that split was better than most of it, though it's pretty much a different band. STILL can't find anything on the running time FFS LEAK PLZ!
 
^ +1. It has to leak in a day or two, don't they have to send copies off to journalists for review and stuff? Some dodgy writer will leak it soon I hope.
 
^ Wow! That's an incredibly positive review! God I want this to leak so much! Sounds like it continues from where Fas left off.
