Their lyrical content often deals with metaphysical Satanism,[1] and the philosophies of Bataille[1][2] and Hegel.[3]
From 2004 to 2010, the band released a trilogy of concept albums — Si monvmentvm reqvires, circvmspice, Fas – Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum and Paracletus – which focus on the theological aspects of God and Satan. With the band's seventh album The Furnaces of Palingenesia (2019), there was a shift in lyrical focus to anti-authoritarian political themes.[4]
The band's eighth and most recent album, The Long Defeat, was released on 23 March 2022. The band described the album as " the first emanation of the third era of Deathspell Omega".[5]
