Dies Irae is the fourth and final studio album by Devil Doll.

A concept by Mr. Doctor, 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. About 23 minutes of silence follows and a 2:13 song leads to the end of the track. This song is sometimes referred to as "Part 19".
