They released a DVD in 2012, entitled ''Opus Diaboli,'' which — in addition to recording their 13th anniversary show at Münchenbryggeriet in Stockholm — provides some insight into their symbols and the religious aspects of their music. In 2014, they performed a show in Brooklyn, which has been labeled by tabloid media as the "Brooklyn Bloodbath". Their sixth album, ''Trident Wolf Eclipse,'' was announced in late 2016, and was released in early 2018. As of 2021, longtime drummer Håkan Jonsson has officially left the band and was replaced by E. Forcas of Degial, with his fellow Degial bandmate H. Death joining the band as the rhythm guitarist, and live bassist Alvaro Lillo joining the studio lineup. In 2022, they release their seventh album, ''The Agony and Ecstasy of Watain''.

Added DiffLines:

* FadingIntoTheNextSong: Downplayed with "Satan's Hunger", followed by "Withershins". "Satan's Hunger" falls into a creepy ambience near the end of the song, and "Withershins" only partly picks up where it left off, as there's a noticeable stop in between songs. Played straight with "Kiss of Death", followed by "Waters of Ain", where "Kiss of Death" ends with the sounds of waves crashing up against a shore, which continues into the beginning of "Waters of Ain", with additional sounds of thunder added.


Added DiffLines:

* NoEnding: Both "The Serpent's Chalice" and "Waters of Ain". In the former, it ends with a guitar solo that just slowly begins to fade out at the end until it goes silent. The latter is similar, except after the guitar solo, it fades into an eerie, watery ambience that also eventually fades out. Given the context of both those songs, RuleOfSymbolism may be in play here. This trope is averted for live performances of those songs, however, for obvious reasons.


Added DiffLines:

* RuleOfSymbolism: Erik has said this was the case on the title track of ''Lawless Darkness'', which is an instrumental that frequently changes and doesn't have any vocals or lyrics, symbolizing the primordial silence and chaos.
