Deathspell Omega - Fas - ite, maledicti, in ignem aeternum (remastered)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2024
- This is a remastered version of Deathspell Omega’s fourth album, 2007’s Fas - ite, maledicti, in ignem aeternum (Latin: Divine Law - Depart, Ye Cursed, into Everlasting Fire; a reference to Matthew 25: en.wikipedia.o.... I’ve made two significant changes to the audio (my source was a lossless rip of the CD), and I feel both improve significantly on commercial releases of the album.
First, I mitigated digital clipping with iZotope RX3 Advanced’s declipper. (If you don’t know about digital clipping and the loudness war, TV Tropes has a good overview at www.tvtropes.or.... But a warning: TV Tropes will ruin your life.) The result isn’t as good as an unclipped master would be, but it has far more dynamic range and “punch” than commercial releases and is a less fatiguing listen. (For those familiar with the TT Dynamic Range Meter, this version is DR12, where the original CD is DR6, and even vinyl rips have been DR10 or DR11, though the DR meter isn’t too reliable for vinyl rips: the vinyl master has the same clipping as the CD, but it’s still a less fatiguing listen due to the nature of vinyl.) I don’t fully understand how iZotope's declip algorithm works, but it seems to scan amplitudes within a selected threshold for frequency data, waveform slope, and number of clipped samples; then fill audio outside the threshold with its guess of what was stripped out.
Second, I amplified quiet passages with a gain envelope. Many segments of this album were mixed so quietly as to be effectively inaudible. They’re still quieter than the rest of the album here, but they’re clearly audible, reframing the louder parts within otherwise inaudible context.
The result has raised this album from being on par with Deathspell Omega's other work for me to by far my favourite of their releases and possibly my favourite album of all time. I hope you enjoy it.
I make no claim to owning this audio, and the processing I did wasn’t particularly complicated on my end (though iZotope's declipper is presumably extremely complicated); all rights to the audio belong to Deathspell Omega and Norma Evangelium Diaboli, while the rights to the cover art most likely belong to the estate of the artist, Timo Ketola (R.I.P. - 2020 was such an abysmal year overall). If you enjoy this and can afford it, you should buy the album; you can purchase a digital version at www.qobuz.com/.... Those who prefer physical versions of music should be able to find CDs or LPs easily on Google; NoEvDia has reprinted both fairly regularly.
For more info on this band, I strongly recommend their June 2019 Bardo Methodology interview: bardomethodolog... in which, inter alia, they note their intention “to shatter a myth that’s so central to stability both on an individual and civilisational level: the impervious necessity to believe that what we do is just, that we are just, that good and evil in intent and deed are as distinct as night and day. That what we do is condoned either by God or whatever man-made order that’s taken precedence - whose exceptionalism is of course indisputable and acts like a secular religion.”

reddit's Deathspell Omega wiki at / index is also a wonderful resource; it’s certainly more comprehensive than Wikipedia, which has annoyed me by deleting pages for several of Deathspell Omega's releases. (I'm not sure how anyone finds The Synarchy of Molten Bones to be non-noteworthy, for example.)

I’ve always said deathspell omega creates music for the VIP rooms in hell if there was such a thing
I really hope everyone has an album they love as much as I love this one
This is literally one of the most wholesome comments I've ever read
Perhaps the greatest album ever produced in music. Like the twisted musical sensibilities of Ophanim gone rogue, bending the timespace fabric with their 4D+ vision. Hail DSo for this magnificent piece of art.
A masterpiece, completely terrifying, out of this world, the sound is the pinnacle of black metal, the first time I heard the bread of bitterness I understood the feeling of having no faith or hope.
"A Chore for the Lost" is a masterpiece that continues to elude my understanding, even after all these years. Despite more than 20 years of studying and listening to all kinds of music, I still can't grasp how it was composed or the level of musical skill required. It's a profound mystery to me.
This album itself even rivals with the classical greats such as Beethoven, Mozart and even Bach.
@@cantresistobsession9611 If you aim to create a track like any of DSO, even if you follow all the right steps, use the same song structure, add dissonance and melodies in the same places, and use the same tuning, there is still an element of madness, mysticism, and perhaps extraterrestrial insight that can't be replicated. DSO's music possesses a level of intelligence unmatched in the current music scene
After listening to metal music for almost a decade, i can say that nothing tops this, when i first listened to this album, it was the best music experience i've ever had. I wish i could listen to this masterpiece for the first time again.
It was so extreme, I almost had a panic attack the first time I listened to The Shrine of Mad Laughter lol😂
The first time I heard bread of bitterness, I looked for the lyrics to understand the lyrical part, when I understood the lyrics together with the music the result was that I understood the terror of not having faith or hope, it was a shock I even believed that It was cursed, it is not from this world, a masterpiece
@@darkbreathhound4215 I've been a metalhead for 35 years. The only metal that has affected me as much as DSO was the first time I heard Deicide - Legion. Prior to that the heaviest thing I'd heard was Slayer. Deicide scared me. Nothing else scared me until I heard DSO and I felt like my soul was being brutalized. My sense of harmony was warped. Normal music sounded weird. The fragile guitars reflected my fragile soul being debased. Frightening music and awesome.
This music composition is unworldly. No way a human can create this.
Have you listened to Elliott Carter? 🙄
@@bernabefernandeztouceda7315 or Xenakis :D However, the most experimental metal is comparable to contemporary music, more than anything else (together with jazzy stuff lige Anthony Braxton or so).
I agree, It completely transports you to horror without the need for violence, gore or explicit content. It is in the lyrics and his musical composition, Terror,
Man I just cant believe that this album is a real thing, it's so out of this world.. The guitar riffs are beyond what we even measure as creativity
pfffffffffffff
agree, probably the best black metal album ever made.
I'm glad I always see a Czech name under a black metal video. Love my country
The creativity never came from man......
I have thousands of metal albums that are interesting like this.
I suppose you just need to love music and play many instruments. You can really appreciate the originality of it all then?
It's almost impossible to believe that human beings came up with this calculated cacophony. I don't think they're of this realm.
Received from outside forces
Probably recorded live
@@impavidvs_ the way all the instruments ring out sounds as if they're being played in a grand concert hall, I'm very curious how they achieved that effect. Not that any of them are talking
Music of Black Demons
@@michaeljohnston8891sorry for replying almost a year later lol... But I think you're right about it being recorded on a giant concert hall. We can just speculate everything. I would love to know more about the mixing and production overall. Best album of my life.
*NEVER TAKE THIS DOWN*
As a fellow sound engineer, I must say - excellent work on the remastering. Most importantly, it did not take anything away from the original masterpiece. The quiet parts that are now amplified only amplify the entire experience of this album, so thank you!
IMO The Greatest Black Metal album ever!
agreed. I just had it tattooed
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Chaining the katechon.
@@ChodeMaster Drought
Kenose
CtK
@@ChodeMaster good but not an album
Overwhelming intensity.
Here is the best moments of the album (in my opinion, of course):
1) Obombration, Pt.1 (as a whole)
2) The Shrine of Mad Laughter: 7:33-10:05
3) Bread of Bitterness: 19:57-20:46
4) The Repellent Scars of Abandon & Election: 27:48-29:03
5) A Chore for the Lost: 42:30-43:20
6) Obombration, Pt. 2 (as a whole)
The small piano part in The Repellent Scars of Abandon & Election is my favorite part of the song, the rest I agree with.
Thank you so much. My SINGULAR dislike about the original release was the guitars being wayyyyyyy too drowned out in the mix. This rules.
The most terrifying and Mysterious Album ever is Finally more detail thanks bro!!
listen to :Pure Misanthropia sweet summer child then come back.
I just did and whoo weee that's alot of noise horror.
@@serialdrunkdriver wow I just read my old comment and that was a joke also I never said anything about genre. I described it facetiously lol.
@@serialdrunkdriver follow up are you ok also I dont use 4 chan so good to know where that came from ha
el grupo de WA hermano
@@jesuscontreras124 Simon we pásame tu número....
I still can't believe this album came out after SMRC. What a change
I know man, the jump from SMRC to Kenose and Fas is just colossal
Kénôse
@@Zalkard Full length but yea I get your point
42:30 This is the best that the outro of A Chore For The Lost has ever sounded.
I will say this again, this is absolutely some of the most sheer genius, brilliant art I have ever heard. Deathspell is unparalleled in extreme metal. No one has done it better.
Also... Fantastic remaster. Would be very curious to see how you did it. The guitars are much clearer.
🤛
This and Negative Plane - Stained Glass Revelations
Have you heard of Fractal Possession by Abigor? FAS is exactly paralleled with Fractal Possession, counting that band members shared and exchanged their ideas.
@@johndore582 really odd comparison….that’s a great album btw. Negative Plane doesn’t come close to DSO though.
@@user-xb7rt8ci7m Fractal Possession is such a slept on album
This album is so good! The best of DSO catalogue for sure!
What a masterpiece, true extreme and disturbing music. 💀
oh hell nah 💀💀💀
NoEvDia should use this version as guidelines for an official remaster.
Amazing job, it really helps highlight some subtle details that were hidden in the original master.
Excellent! I've listened to this album hundreds of times and it's nice to hear the subtle changes that enhance the overall sound.
A terrifying album....made more terrifying.
Couldn't have been said better.
So fucking evil, I'm listening to this on a dxm trip rn and I knew itd fit well
If poltergeists could play music it would sound like this album
Wow, that description sent shivers down my spine.
29:50 my brain is melting
Sounds excellent. I wish this was official
I would love to see a video interview with Deathspell Omega but this will never happen
You did a great job! Should have been a official re-release on Norma.
They have a very unique riffing style...
They have no actual riffs, lol
@@sexkarabin5688then what qualifies as an actual riff then?
@@sexkarabin5688 'course they have. They don't randomly strike their guitar strings.
@@BlackAngel-wk1ir you think they do randomly strike their guitar strings? Wtf
@@quentinexus fuck I'm blind, didn't notice the "don't"
nevermind lol
I don't even like black metal but man THIS SHIT SLAPS
Thanks for your work! Sounds ace.
Masterpiece!
19:57 "CHRISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS"
dude that's funy
The eternal fall of the being
THIS IS SO GOOD OMG. How did I not know about this earlier in my life
Welcome to the Deathspell Omega rabbit hole
@@Tha3rdworldghost Yeah, been obsessed since then. I love most of their material but this album is just something else.
Part 2 of my DsO trilogy indulgence. Si Monumentum was stupid good. This is painfully dissonant.. and can't wait for Paracletus after this masterpiece. A trilogy only rivalled by Mr Bungle and their 90s offerings. Keep it noir!
Synarchy best
One of their best albums. The transition for them
Phenomenal.
very low dost thou bring us, very low hast thou brought us...
Oh holy fuck
Towards the rupture...
wut does that mean and do I want to know?
Splendide !
29:36 A real skull blowout!! 💀 Deathspell Omega has been consolidating with its experimental music 😈 HAIL!!
One thing to ask is I reaaallly wanna have these as MP3s~ It sounds so great.
Ponyfæg
@@ChodeMaster yes I'm gay what's it to you
@@ChodeMaster You wanna kiss them or what?
@@feartheb33k33p3r no!!!
just type in google mp3 download youtube, and you'll get pages where you can take this link and bassicly convert the mp4 video into audio only mp3 format then you can download it and save it on ur pc
Sounds great! Btw, is this a modified artwork? I see words on each yellow line that I don’t see on my record artwork.
Would you be willing to send this to me as a FLAC if I showed you proof of purchase for the album? I just really enjoy this mix and would love it in my collection.
bro soulseek exists. you really don't know how to pirate music lolololol?
@@wesNYC it's easy to rip music from RUclips, but getting it at the best possible quality is another story.
@@Terrorforming soulseek is the place for free music in FLAC format
36:35 is insane.
Oh my... 21ish minutes in.. really weird guitar part... fucking WOW 👌
Dillinger Omega!
never really understood this album, can't hear any of the riffs. paracletus and katechon i can actually hear what the guitars are doing. drumming on this album is fantastic though.
in black metal you don't need to hear riffs or anything clear it's just about felling the atmosphere and the darkness
what's the source of cover art?
This is a representation of the human weakness against the power of god and satan
Humain is not able to understand all this things , this is why the guy on art falling down
what the fuck how did I miss that
This album is the most fucked up thing I have ever heard, right next to abruptum and emit
Abruptum was total bullshit I bought into it like at idiot had that album was shit sold 99% of my black metal CDs lol made a couple hundred bucks. European distributions in America = premium prices
Check out xenakis- cendrees
@@billybobthekidiswackpolla ta dhina
is this album just 100% disonance lol
Not all as always dso has some incredible melodies hidden in the Most venenous Guitar sound!!!....
Usually dso inspired black metal bands use dissonance to create melodies that are actually harmonic
With you on this one. Taken at face value, this kind of Metal does not sound pleasing to the ear.
I think fans of this style of metal just use the chaotic sound to fill a blank canvas in their mind and paint a mental picture or direct a mental movie with the music as the soundtrack. I find that visualizing and experiencing the music synesthetically in this way helps a lot with making it more listenable. You're even able to "fill in the blanks" and imagine that it sounds coherent when it might be 100% dissonant.
Still, not for me.
@@Tonycaveman nah not really, while a lot of the riffs are pretty abstract, a good amount of them are pretty melodic, it's just that the melody is obfuscated by the dissonant harmonies they are a part of, and by the band's heave use of bending which adds this micro-tonal off-kilter feel to anything they do. It's basically dissonant voice-leading. Their song Chaining the Katechon is a much more palatable example of this, especially in the riff that starts at the 23 second mark.
its really not tho. its a very rewarding experience if you relax and pay attention to it, you will find some many missed micro-riffs and melodies. it has such a big replay value to me personally
Is that Lucifer falling from heaven
it's the "fear" of God from mankind , as the first phrase of the second song on the album say: "God of Terror, very low dost thou bring us, very low hast thou brought us".
Why does the first track remind me of the shadow temple from Zelda ocarina of time
Hot take here but I would argue that this album would be even more powerful as an instrumental album.
Mayhem children. However , this kicks no end of body parts. And nobody died!!!
much superior to mayhem
This is nothing like mayhem lmao how retarded are people in this comment section?
@@antvre Yessss!
You know not much Steve Jones.
I don't still find it as good as Si monumentum...
Wow you so wrong!
I don't find any DSO to be as good as I think it should actually be
listened to this and the one before it. Not a huge fan of Deathspell Omega tbh
Sad
:(
Entirely your loss.
Be gone peasant.
That's okay. It's not for everyone and you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. What's more your area?
In the end I have to say that this album is pretty ... boring.
Ur ass
Try to read It if you have the booklet and with lightouts...
in my humble experience, boring = whoosh
You are NUTS or not a musician ...
Lowest form of criticism is calling something boring. At that point you might as well say "I don't like it because I don't like it".
