De RigueurMortis (stylised as De RigueurMortis) is the fifth studio album by Australian alternative-rock group TISM, released in October 2001. The album peaked at number 24 on the ARIA Charts.
The title is taken from a line in the song "Come Back DJ, Your Record is Scratched". The album cover is a tribute to the fantasy-themed artwork of Roger Dean, famous for his work with art rock bands such as Yes.[citation needed]
Initial copies of this release, dubbed the Connoisseur's Edition, included several untitled tracks and a bonus CD titled 2Pot Screama, a 40-minute "rock opera in one act" which TISM described as "West Side Story with Tourette's syndrome".[citation needed]
The censored name in the final track, 'BFW', is Kylie Minogue. At the time of the album's release, both TISM and Kylie Minogue were label mates on Festival Mushroom Records. The track was censored at the record company's insistence.[citation needed]
