If you dig Deathspell Omega and want something with different vibes but similar execution this is by no means a replacement, but a nice addition.
Can't believe you put DsO and this shit in the same sentence...
i dunno they both play wacky black metal and say things like this:

- It took us over two years to conceive "SMRC", actually about three years if we speak about the global concept of which this album is only the first part out of three, as you say. Before writing a single note of music, a foetal structure of the lyrical aspect has to appear clearly, because the origin of our inspiration communicates - or shall I say imposes ?- through intellectual concepts first and foremost, sensorial elements are subordinated. Of course, this initial structure is bound to grow, to be mutilated or enhanced during the actual work, but this is the starting point that later on guides the creation of the musical support. At the moment of this interview, a superficial yet extremely furnished density of written word is available as the chaotic skeleton of the second part of the trilogy, and actually, some semen for the third and last part are available, too. A lot of discipline will be required to shape this material into something that will allow us to start the purely musical work, although some sketches have already been tested, some patterns of which have turned out to be satisfying, others not quite in communion with the rest, thus, discarded.
As you may imagine, we will furthermore enter the dimensions of theological uncertainty, and the resulting, ever growing ecstatic anguish may very well materialize itself in a musical form quite different again. It is way too early to predict anything though; realistically, the second part will certainly not be finalised before a couple of years. It may be accurate to underline that the music being subordinated to the global intellectual impulses, the Black Metal genre is not the only shape it may take.

My view is that the individual is epiphenomenal, a mirage, and that attachment to individuality is a disease. Especially when I’m, say, making music, I am not an individual; I’m not responsible for what I do – I’m channeling social, cultural, technological forces which work through me in ways I don’t understand. Liturgy is more interested in subjectivity than individuality. The Subject listens to himself, to the urges he has but doesn’t understand, and he follows what’s interesting to him with courage and fidelity. That’s when new things are created. So Liturgy is an opponent of the Individual and a proponent of the Subject.
(black metal must be the only genre where looking like a normal person gets you called a hipster lo)
They're a good band, if you're not familiar, modern stylings performing the job of the old-school in a way. Drumming, as you'll note, is excellent. COTB, be interested in your thoughts on Ruins, assuming you aren't directing those comments my way. You liked the last Satyricon, so should definitely enjoy this.
