"If you seek His monument, look around you."
The mystic Latin of the title, the grotesque artwork, the blatant Satanic themes; Deathspell Omega might appear at first glance to be another copy-cat Black Metal band, but with this album they marked themselves out from the scene. Structured like a 1970s concept double album, each 'side' opens with a prayer- to the Morningstar, of course. This serves to prepare the listener for the prog and avant-garde influences that they incorporated into their traditional Black Metal for this record, rightly recognised as one of the most important recordings in modern extreme metal. Perhaps not as good as the EP which followed, but certainly worth a listen.
