Dies Irae is the fourth and final studio album by Italian-Slovenian rock band Devil Doll, released in February 1996.
A concept by Mr. Doctor, it is inspired by the life and music of George Harvey Bone, the poems of Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Brontë, Emily Dickinson and Isidore Ducasse.
The lyrics contains multiple references to the poem "The Conqueror Worm" by E. A. Poe (with the entire final stanza of the poem reproduced almost verbatim). The sample used at the beginning "Part 12" is from the film The Night of the Hunter, and is the character Pearl Harper (played by Sally Jane Bruce) singing.
"Part 18" ends at 2:52 and is followed by 23:20 of silence. A hidden track then starts playing. This song is sometimes called "Part 19".
