Deathspell Omega - Chaining the Katechon (first half)

[CINGO25]

What a mindblower.... Excellent band!

[GrinderDevil]

I think the first minute just got me into black metal...

[Leonard1rg]

where did you get that picture?!

[standardzhapor]

beyond earthly confines 

[oobaby85]

ear rape.

[isak69]

MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[Barqu3ntine]

Masterpiece!

[wownov83]

The signature "dso sonic bombardment" at 8:20 is mindblowing

[justmehelenp93]

fapped through the entire first half and I'm a freaking chick.. fuck, I love Deathspell

[castout85]

4:10 fapped

[deathincambodia]

What is the name of the picture and where does it come from?

[ClavicleofSolomon]

@deathincambodia It comes from the liner notes of EP this song is from. I don't know if it has a name. Deathspell Omega's releases have a lot of exclusive artwork that isn't labeled with any kind of title or author.

[Steelarvore0]

@deathincambodia Timo ketola i think

[m16pig]

oooo come on guys!!!! dejen la controversia a un lado y disfruten k esto es jodidamente chingon!!!

[whatthemeh]

This music is beyond notions of race. It fucking hates you all. To put it simply.

[gusanotaylor]

Three thirds together. Three thirds forever. All demons are currently at war against satan. Thank you Jesus. Glory be to God forever.

[ILGustavo]

I can't stand how much I like this.

[bentheiburg]

1:41. nuff said.

[mhkpor]

@K3lin you're embarassing metal fans, please shut up.

[Obsidus]

K3lin just stop. If you had any advanced education whatsoever you wouldn't be able to say some of the shit you're saying. And if you had any sense of perspective on things of objective value, you wouldn't say the rest of it. Having a debate of this magnitude on fucking youtube comments is not gonna happen. So I'll stop here.

[Obsidus]

Oh and just because its a likely rebuttal. I'm white, I can trace my family line back to William the Conqueror. And I grew up in Chicago where I dealt with alot of bullshit from black gangs and black crime in general. So I'm not some "minority" or a liberal wanker. I have reasons to feel otherwise, to probably agree with you. But I care about the truth, objectivity. The difference between the relative and the absolute. So therefore, enough with the cliche NS white power rhetoric.

[wownov83]

7:38 holy fuck

[danzlag]

kult

[str8fromthaNebula]

I think he need a Hug, a big Hug and a warm milk with honey

[z0z0bra]

6:17 holy shit

[TakashiMiike17]

This EP is magnificent.

[kushharada]

if u like them listen to absentia lunae

[rudisimo666]

This, my friends, is the future of black metal.

[wizardmansir]

@rudisimo666 noet your frend

[Kackerlackan]

Just relax and enjoy. Life is short

[Herulfr]

hahah why are there always so many smartasses commenting on deathspell omega videos?

Listen to the music and enjoy.

[Sandemose]

Because some people ara smarter than others and like to comment? How can one be bothered by the fact that DO make people think and express their thoughts. Isnt that what music and arts in general is all about...here we go again...smart-ass-comment, huh?

Best, Sandemose

[sludgedemon]

@Herulfr

Well said - quit your damn bellyaching and just enjoy the beautiful chaos that is DsO!!!

[Obsidus]

But I digress. Youtube is NOT the place to start a debate. The comment system is notoriously atrocious.

[UBERGRIMKVLT]

Well by people i mean all of humanity. Christianity or not they will do horrible things. Look at all the communist dictators in the 20th century.

[evilsherpa666]

Anyway, the part from 1:41 on is probably the most epic i have ever heard

[nunobelo]

wow... too much hate around here...

chill... ;)

[TheCrystalknight71]

brilliant structure!! this is sic666666666...L.M.A.O at the children flexing there intellect , This only for true believers! hail extreme metal

[Monumentum616]

I don't think Mikko Aspa does the drums! This is purely conjecture.

[devaloki]

*yawn*

[beowulven]

Your mother yawns to take the girth on my cock into her maw.

[devaloki]

lol whatever. i just can't get into the first half of this track

[beowulven]

@devaloki

Aah. I see. Sorry about the, erm... yeah...

[DieMotherFukker]

nah, he's right, fuck you.

[devaloki]

@DieMotherFukker lulzzzz

[CharlesDeGore]

Pretty proud that this comes from France - Blut aus Nord as well

[FearOfNapalm1]

well said

[nilzardo]

truth. You deserve a chocolate bar.

[devaloki]

@pronihilo agreed

[K3lin]

@pronihilo What does nationalism have to do with Deathspell Omega? And... Nationalism is not a disease. You must understand that some cultures are unique and they must keep their unique-ness. Others have great history, others are great countries, others are rich countries. Its normal these countries not to accept things from other non-unique cultures.

[BLCEK]

@K3lin Nationalism like all the fate of all human ideals got corrupted and has resulted in brainless crap. I understand waht you mean though.

[K3lin]

@BLCEK It's not something that has to be corrupted. I mean, nationalism exists from the day countries existed. It's obvious that someone should love and praise the country he lives in and of course his race. This has nothing to do with what other people think and if they are corrupted or not.

[BLCEK]

@K3lin I guess we have some differences on the subject. Nothing will change with an internet argue though. Lets share an E-beer now :P

[ClavicleofSolomon]

@K3lin How is it obvious? It seems to me to be quite immature. Sure it's fine to love the places and people one lives among, but to believe there is some transcendent greatness about it JUST because you were born there is a serious failure in logic. Race is also a completely arbitrary category. There is no scientific genetic basis for race. Ethnicity, skin color, facial features, etc. exist on a scale that is easily attributable to environmental factors that affected human evolution.

[ClavicleofSolomon]

@K3lin And this is precisely why nationalism is retarded. Who gets to decide which cultures are "non-unique"? Every culture in history has borrowed from previous cultures and to honestly believe that the culture or nation one was chanced to be born in is the best or most special is perhaps one of the greatest human follies, perhaps even greater than religion.

[K3lin]

@ClavicleofSolomon Are you serious? Can you compare the Greek culture with african barbarian cultures? It's a fact that White people have accomplished much more than black people have and metallers have no reason to deny that since most Metal musicians are White... and we can see the mind difference between rappers (that are black) and metalles (that are White). That's why Metal is so much better music than hip hop (lyrically, vocally etc.).

[ClavicleofSolomon]

@K3lin You're obviously a dumb teenager, so I'm not even going to waste my time any more talking to you. Grow up a bit. Read about cultures outside your own (including so-called "barbarian" ones). Realize that there is a world outside of your homeland. Realize that the problems that affect other ethnic groups are often traceable to the harmful influence of the "accomplishments" of white people. Learn the difference between facts and beliefs.

[ClavicleofSolomon]

@K3lin Also, there's plenty of great hip-hop. It's a different genre with different values from the metal genre. That doesn't make it inferior. Metal music some times has more intellectual lyrics (but often has really silly and inspid lyrics too, just like hip hop), but hip-hop, I believe, is better at conveying a wider range of emotions and beliefs through lyrics (when they are written well), unlike metal, which often leaves no place for vulnerability (and it doesn't surprise me that a

[ClavicleofSolomon]

@K3lin a teenage white supremacist/nationalist would gravitate toward that). In the end, though, it's rather futile to compare them. Both have strengths and weaknesses. Metal is undoubtedly the more musically proficient genre, but then, musical complexity was never the point of hip-hop. There's no objective criteria for what music is best. You don't dig hip-hop. I do. You, for some reason, feel the need to attribute your distaste in hip hop to an imaginary racial superiority.

[K3lin]

@ClavicleofSolomon So you are comparing these poetic lyrics with the stupid punky lyrics of hip-hop? This is a good example of White Supremacy.

[ClavicleofSolomon]

@K3lin How is this an example of white supremacy? Because some French dudes can write good music? So could Miles Davis and John Coltrane. There's also nothing in DSO's lyrics that suggests white supremacy. I'm aware of Mikko's views and the band's views in old interviews, but their current lyrical concepts have nothing to do with white supremacy. In fact one of their main influences is Georges Bataille, who was an anti-fascist and an admirer of "primitive" art.

[ClavicleofSolomon]

@K3lin It's also bizarre you should deride hip hop for having "stupid punky" lyrics when almost all early extreme metal, such as Bathory, Hellhammer, Venom, Sodom, Kreator, Sarcofago, Sepultura, etc. had incredibly poorly written and immature lyrics that are far below the power of certain rap lyrics. Incidentally, early extreme metal was also influenced by punk.

[K3lin]

@ClavicleofSolomon Anyway, who the fuck made you a niggers lawyer?

Metal is not compared with rap nor lyrically or musically.

White people have had historically better cultures than niggers.

And niggers are stupid, as Herodotus once wrote.

End of the subject.

[YTisMyPlaylist]

@K3lin Man, heard about Tosin Abasi? Metal is not only for "white people".

Also there are loads of good hip-hop.

[NailbombSurprise]

@pronihilo

With that said, you contradict the believes of named "Mikko A."

[nailay7]

@pronihilo yeah seriously people need to realize that the world is more important than individual countries

[nattulver]

Well most of the band is French, Mikko Aspa does vocals/drums and is from Finland.

[beelzebub686]

fuck you stupid christian asshole...

[GoregardenStudio]

Godamn fucking christian assholes should be fucking shot.....7 times 70 times....

They don't even deserve to be in hell. there should be a place for stupid ass mutherfuckers like christians.........

[UBERGRIMKVLT]

I find atheistfags to actually be more annoying. Theists don't bother me as long as they keep to themselves.

For whatever reason atheists feel like they need to attack everyone that doesn't think like them, much like theists use to do.

[evilsherpa666]

UBERGRIMKVNT

As soon as religionites rmove all their nonsense from the public life, we atheistfags will stop complaining. Until then we will call them on their stupidity where we see it

[UBERGRIMKVLT]

The problem is that the public is religious. Atheists loose ground when they force their opinions on everyone else. Religious people have the freedom of expression, you can't take that away. If they want to put up religious decorations on a religious holiday (Christmas), then who are you to stop them?

The problem is atheists are still the same untermenschen as theists most of the time.

Believe me, I hate Christian logic, my family is Christian, but the problem is people, not their ideology.

[dwyermckerr90]

And you are at the top of the pile?

Untermenschen? I love black metal but I don't believe in fairies or god or demons, because they don't exist. It's just music, calm down ubermensch.

[evilsherpa666]

The problem is EXACTLY the religious ideology. It only seeks to enslave us and stop us from truly progressing as a species.

Besides that, way to lump all atheists on a single pile. Atheism merely stands for an absence of religious beliefs, it is not an active 'beliefsystem'. It is true though that with the worrying trend of increased religious influence (creationism, religious fundamentalism etc) some atheists have become more vocal in their opposition

your use of 'untermensch' is pathetic

[UBERGRIMKVLT]

You lump all religious groups together then say not to lump all atheists together?

You seem to have failed Neitzscheian philosophy.

[evilsherpa666]

I guess you aren't intelligent enough to see the difference between organised religion based on dogma and doctrine on the one hand and individuals who have nothing in common besides the fact they do not believe in a deity. No doctrine, no dogma, no organisation.

i guess you never heard the expression 'atheism is a religion just like not collecting stamps is a hobby'.

And Nietzsche? hahahaha... another tragically clueless blackmetal nerd who cites Nietzsche but hasn't got a clue.

[UBERGRIMKVLT]

I see you are either of a lower intelligence, or just young. Here's to you becoming smarter.

Cheers.

[seeminglytransparent]

Love this band, that drummer is fucking rad.

[DeathTragedy666]

These guys are the future of black metal, perhaps metal in general.

[93riven]

this is the future of music. not only black metal. music in genral

[LordCADAVER]

BLUT aus NORD and Deathspell Omega - kings of avantgarde -art - black

[MarquisRattlehead]

They're gonna have to contend with Ephel Duath for that title.

[has9]

i personally love blut aus probably because they are lot more accessible than Omega in terms in song structure. but Omega is down right insane !!!!!

[Steelarvore0]

@LordCADAVER peste noire also!

[Harmozel]

We went to the trough , Lord.

We went bent and convulsed.

We saw blood, Lord.

It was glittering.

You dispensed it and we drank it.

We saw your image.

The gap of your eyes and mouth is void.

We went bent and convulsed.

It broke us and dissolved us.

[GoregardenStudio]

Sounds like the eucharist. In addition to the blood there were chuncks of decaying flesh to get washed down with the blood. This is my decaying putrid body, take, eat in rememberance of me, saith the lord....and this is my blood, drink this and don't forget that i am your god....I love the eucharist. Drinking blood and eating the flesh of a 2000 year old dead jew.

[Sandemose]

Im probably wrong, but after listening for several years to contemporary serialistic composers I think I recognize some serialbased gestures in their riffs from time to time. Apperently they are aware of the prinicples of composing with different systems and that they know composers like Ligety and Schnittke among others...

Best, Sandemose

[c4bo0s32]

@Sandemose Do you know what tuning this song is in?

[Sandemose]

@c4bo0s32 I think the tuning is satanic major, but Im not sure.

Best, Sandemose

[c4bo0s32]

@Sandemose I think minor.

[fredmachine]

@c4bo0s32 Well, the song is in the key of mixolydian satanic satan. That can be played on a standard tuned guitar, but requires more than two hands to play.

So I guess they tune their guitars to open satanic major to play it.

[c4bo0s32]

@fredmachine Oh now I finally get it!

[Sandemose]

@c4bo0s32 I think satanic major, because that would be more unexpected, and you never know what to expect from satan.

Best, Sandemose

[HisokaThorongil]

@Sandemose Maybe you guys are being facetious, but there is no satanic major scale. -_-

[LarsYenin]

@Sandemose maybe some of their stuff. but i'd like to hear much more webern-like stuff in extreme metal.

[JuIsTheLaw]

The chord progression at 2:33 hits me so hard, every time I hear it my heart skips a beat. Unbelievable album, its only 22 minutes long but it really is quality over quantity.

[Sandemose]

Yeah, I totally agree. There are so many moments in this song (hymn, compo-sition, manifestation etc?) that are so beautiful. I read through the text (found on google) while listening. I lost contact with my self, felt very unsettled and uneasy for a long while. It was beutiful and frightening at the same time...maybe it was so beutiful it became frightening? Thanks for uploading, really appreciate it.

Regards, Sandemose

[seraphlaim]

Thanks for putting this up. The new EP is great. I love how, like Kenose was to Si Monumentum Circumspice, the EPs are cut from the same cloth; are in fact like a bonus side. I can't wait for the last installment of their trilogy.
