About Deathspell Omega

Deathspell Omega is a French black metal band. Their lyrical content deals primarily with Satanism on a metaphysical level - as the band has stated that "all other interpretations of Satan are intellectually invalid" - and other various theological topics. They have recently completed a series of three concept albums which focus on the theological aspects of God, Satan and man's relationship with the two. Some of their lyrical inspiration has come from the post-surrealist Georges Bataille as well as existentialist themes. Deathspell Omega was created by Hasjarl as a side project before Hirilorn broke up. After Hirilorn split Shaxul, Hasjarl and Khaos carried on with Deathspell Omega as a three piece. Eventually, Shaxul left due to distaste for the band turning direction towards Orthodox Satanism and was replaced by Mikko Aspa on vocals Hasjarl is the owner of End All Life Productions and one of the main guys behind Norma Evangelium Diaboli. Mikko Aspa is the owner of Northern Heritage Records and Freak Animal Records (power-electronics label). He is also supposed to own a prog rock label called Totuuden Sarvi Levyt. Shaxul (ex member) is the owner of Legion of Death Records. Formed in 1998.
