Deathspell Omega - The Fires of Frustration Rehearsal video

[vO)))id]

A little over five years ago, Deathspell Omega returned from Brittany after recording The Furnaces of Palingenesia.

Afterwards, the band started rehearsing to prepare for a series of concerts. Line-up complications eventually doomed the attempt at performing this particular album live.

The following video of the song The Fires of Frustration is an internal working document – the kind produced when musicians are scattered across a continent. The recording device was a smartphone.

While the idea of concerts for Furnaces is now water under the bridge, we can at least divulge a fraction of what we were working on. The performance itself reflects the early phase of a series of rehearsals and, as such, is not flawless.

the light placements :::::

very cool, to be honest i'm kinda good with the idea of them remaining a studio band though. i think it was a fine performance but, however silly and insubstantial it might be, there's a certain element of mystique that's appealed to me that i think would necessarily be spoiled by a live setting.

I agree. But it would depend on how they would perform live. Then again, we already have Mgła and enough other masked bands.

Agreed. It'd be like if Blut Aus Nord played live.
