Deathspell Omega is a black metal band from Poitiers, Poitou-Charentes, France that formed in 1998. Their lyrical content deals primarily with Satanism on a religious and metaphysical level. They have recently completed a series of three concept albums, focusing on the theological dispute on the divine essence of the devil, the roles and virtues of faith and the place of man therein. They are commonly regarded as more sophisticated lyrically and ideologically than most Satanic black metal bands. Some of their lyrical inspiration has come from the post-surrealist Georges Bataille.
