Malevolentia – Ex Obivion
Throughout the infamous, controversy-splattered history of black metal, many of its contributors have fused the genre’s trademark raging harshness with orchestral arrangements.

Continuously shrouded in a massive cloak of mystery and rumors, avantgarde black metal troopers Deathspell Omega aligned their powers in Poitiers, France in 1998 and focused much attention on Satanism and metaphysics. The band’s earlier work unleashed a raw approach similar to Transylvanian Hunger era Darkthrone. Since then, the work of Deathspell Omega has become
