Poitiers, Poitou-Charentes, France (1998 – present)
Deathspell Omega is a Black Metal band from Poitiers, Poitou-Charentes, France that formed in 1998.
Their lyrical content deals primarily with Satanism on a metaphysical level. There are currently two albums through a series of three concept albums, focusing on the theological aspects of God, Satan and man’s relationship with the two. They are commonly regarded as more sophisticated lyrically and ideologically than most Satanic black metal bands. Some of their lyrical inspiration has come from the post-surrealist Georges Bataille.
Initially, Deathspell Omega produced raw, traditional black metal akin to Darkthrone’s Transilvanian Hunger or Panzerfaust; however, their 2004 release, Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice, marked a change to a more diverse sound heavily influenced by choral music.
They have a cult following amongst the underground scene, mainly due to what many consider their seminal work: 2004’s Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice. The first chapter in a planned trilogy, the album was released to critical acclaim and continues to be praised. The album’s title is a twisting of a popular Latin phrase. The original was “Si Monumentum Requiris, Circumspice,” meaning “if you seek a monument, look around you”, a phrase that appears in St Paul’s Cathedral as a dedication to Sir Christopher Wren. Deathspell Omega’s version translates to “if you seek His monument, look around you.”
