Deathspell omega reveal new album, "the long defeat"

French Black Metal act Deathspell Omega have just revealed the details for their next album. The new work is titled "The Long Defeat", and is set for release next Wednesday on the 23rd of March via long-time label Norma Evangelium Diaboli.

The label commented on what to expect:

Stand witness to The Long Defeat! Hearken to the first emanation of the third era of DEATHSPELL OMEGA; forty-four minutes of Black Metal enacted through five instalments. Recorded live by the French power trio in July 2021. Bile and venom distilled and added until the leaves fell.

“The Long Defeat” unfolds over three parallel storylines told via three different mediums. Two in writing: the lyrics, as well as a fable. The third speaks through the artwork – two metres’ worth of maniacally detailed visions depicting the same premise its written content draws from. All three are fundamentally entwined but diverging in narrative, each complementing or contradicting the others.

"The Long Defeat" will mark the band's eighth full-length album in a career spanning almost 25 years, and features the following tracklist:

1. Enantiodromia
2. Eadem, sed aliter
3. The Long Defeat
4. Sie sind gerichtet!
5. Our Life is Your Death

The album will be available in digipack CD format, as well as a black vinyl LP edition which will ship at the end of April:
