What exactly did the band/members do or say that got everyone in an uproar? I have seen conflicting account and I want to get my bearings straight on this before I spend anymore time delving into the discography. I have a hard time separating really fucked up ideals from the music whenever I hear these things

The vocalist on all their modern releases, Mikko Aspa, is a huge fascist. Absolute worst of the worst. That’s aside from his extremely dodgy side projects.

Those fucked up ideals aren't entwined with the music/lyrics etc. The vocalist is a session vocalist basically who comes in and just does the vocals IF you believe that. That's their stance. He's a national socialist piece of shit with a dodgy peado themed noise project and some other Peado themed shit (not making him a Peado but a dodgy fker) an unashamed facist who's played in fash bands and he's run a few fash labels. So you can not listen on that account, not listen because they allowed him to be the vocalist for so long or take their word he just does the vocals and separate that and listen to a catalogue of some of the greatest black/extreme metal albums of all time, the highest level.



For the record I'm the latter but feel dirty about it and would probably be giving other people shit if it was music I didn't like. A massive hypocrite basically

I remember when the identities of DsO was unknown. My times have changed.

gave this another spin and actually think im more on the 'this is weak' side after all. the differences were novel first time round but its pretty mid-tempo and bland. drumming is really boring on this

Their wiki still says they take inspiration from Bataille and Hegel. That's still cool right?

Yeah but the Hegel influence extends to making their lyrics as obnoxiously overblown and unreadable as possible

They forgot the part where they have any worthwhile ideas underneath

Hm, do you have an example off-hand or anything on mind? I'm not trying to be a hair in the ass here, just curious. Most of the lyrics I know by the band is just off of Chaining.

Good review of an awesome album.

Haters simply cannot comprehend that DSO are one of the most important black metal bands the genre ever had to offer.

Yes, Aspa is alt-right and probably an asshole. Saying he is a pedophile is simply hate speech without any reliable proof.

The band that is responsible for the music and the amazing lyrics are neither left wing nor alt-right.

But we are living in days of insane political correctness and black metal was always about shit the "normal" people despise. (Burning churches, Satanism, Suicide, Misanthropy).

Funny thing is almost all reviews on most metal sites are praising this album and do not even mention the connection of Aspa to the alt-right.

Have you asked yourself why?

Because they don't give a fuck about it.

Alt-right? Are you fuckin kidding? That guy is a neo nazi scene guy / cadre, playing in outright national socialist bands, holding benfit concerts for other neo nazis who murdered leftists...



Not that alt right wasn't mostly at least proto-fascist scum too, but still there is quite a difference...

The least surprising thing I've seen all day is a person with "RustCohle" as their username say that calling out someone fetishizing lolitas is hate speech.

Doesnt matter if Joseph Goebbels was on vox, the album still sucks in comparison to their other work.



I do long for that un-PC age where we didnt call out Nazis tho. What a fun time

Dude you cannot call it hate speech lmao

The man veers as close to being a child molester as one can get without actually enacting it. Mikko Aspa is a dodgy fucking weirdo and idk how you can refute that.



On another note rejammed Paracletus today and man does it put into perspective how much they've regressed on this imo

Also In listening to these tracks that dont have Mikko on Ive released how much his Vox are engrained into DSO sound. I always thought he was easily replaceable but im not so sure now, Maybe just Familiarity but those kinda broken pronunciations, and his tone, for me now seem more entwined that I realised.

@deez

Oh undoubtedly dude, the way he does harsh vocals still keeps the spoken voice intact imo so it makes all those accents and tones come through more. Honestly Mikko for all is...oddity is a p great bm vocalist.
