I hope I like this band. I keep hearing alot about them, which can only mean one of two things... thanks for the link.

Seems like this band is either hated or adored. I extremely admire their musical style combining black metal with progressive and experimental elements. Like some people have already stated, i agree that everything about DsO is very well done, i can't ask for much more in any black metal band.
Definitely looking forward to getting this album, seeing as SMRC and Kenose are both masterpieces in my eyes.

If anything I would have thought that Deathspell Omega's time being "in" would have been long over by now? To me it seems like the past couple years Peste Noire has received that kind of fan boy popularity as it reaches more 'mainstream' territory, and I use that term rather loosely. Even a couple years ago, I remember it seemed like nobody had even heard of Peste Noire.
However, I think it's stupid to dislike a band because of their fanbase but at the same time, I dislike those fans who latch onto bands proclaiming that everything the band has released is a masterpiece, and no less than perfect. To me, I almost get the impression that there are people out there who read too much into others' opinion so that when they listen to a band that is heavily regarded, they almost formulate the idea that the album is in fact a masterpiece before they even listen to it, and show very little understanding as to why it is so highly regarded.

heh i was actually thinking exactly this, youre pretty much right but they definitely were trendy circa 2004...now it's just expected that you like them, and as you said, peste noire are the new "in" band (who also suck now - never heard anything before the last 2 albums but those are horribly overrated. success breeds artistic failure!)
Well I've liked Peste Noire for quite a long while now, and I enjoyed their demos to start with and when their first full-length album came out, I was quite pleased. The newest one is 'good' in comparison to what is out there but 'good' in a very disappointing sense to what Peste Noire is capable of...and yes of course as is the case more often than not, as a band reaches a decline in quality it will just so happen that their popularity will skyrocket.
This goes with another favourite lesser-known French black metal band who released an EP this year that I was very, very disappointed with. Luckily they haven't achieved the mass appeal that Peste Noire has.
I can't believe it, but I actually agree with Wires and Waves for once. Fas... FUCKING SUCKS. A bunch of random "technical" riffs stitched together with random interludes isn't high art when it's called black metal any more than when Cryptopsy did it on "And Then You'll Beg".
In closing, I'd like to say that if you like this album, you're probably a furry.

A few of my friends said it is like Gorguts gone black metal, at the point I don't care because I'm not in a BM mood anyways.

all the sheep loved them, then found out the band was a fraud, so all the sheep hated them. fucking trendy leeches.
Personally I couldn't care less about DsO. They should have kept Hirilorn going.

I don't really see the Ruins of Beverast comparison (that album is amazing by the way), but overall, I can enjoy the new Deathspell Omega album, I think I need to give it more listens though.

I bought the cd and lp tonight. Halfway through, it seems like it borrows a bit from the ideas on the two 20 minute songs on the compilations. Very frenetic and chaotic at times. The production really hurts this album. When the guitar parts are so difficult to follow, you really need production that makes them rather audible. The drums are too loud. I'm sure that in many listens I'll sort things out, but this would be much better if the production had the excellent balance of any of the band's previous releases, all which were produced near perfectly after Infernal Battles.
