The kings of dissonant metal, Deathspell Omega, return with another fantastic album that showcases exactly why the black metal throne belongs to them.

The Furnaces of Palingenesia is a twisted distortion of sanity put to music, and is not for those who insist on their music being super accessible. The black metal horror show bathes in destruction and darkness from start to finish, leaving little breathing room for listeners. You have to dedicate yourself to this one, like most of their catalog.

If you're willing to do this, you'll find one of the best albums of the year and just another fantastic release from Deathspell Omega.

Give it a spin.
