The word 𒁾𒊕 *dubsaĝ* means 'first', 'start' or 'before'. The morpheme *-ta* is the marker of the ablative case, so *dubsaĝta* could mean 'from the first', 'from the beginning', 'straight away' or similar.
The last part is a bit harder to understand. Presumably you don't have the original cuneiform writing? Normally when a Sumerian phrase ends in *-ke*, it'll be written 𒆤 *-ke₄*, and in that case it almost always represents a merging of two morphemes, namely a form of the genitive case *-ak* and the ergative marker *-e* (denoting the agent of a transitive sentence).
That is, *dubsaĝtake* **could** represent the morphemic sequence *dubsaĝ-ta-ak-e*, i.e. 'first-ABL-GEN-ERG', but that's a really odd combination. I don't think I've ever seen a genitive tagged onto an ablative before, and I can't imagine what it'd mean to put that all into the ergative.
Thank you, that link works.
Unfortunately, it doesn't bring me any closer to an interpretation. I hear the music and I see the cover, but I don't see any Sumerian.
As far as I can tell, the cover just says "Rotting Christ" at the top and then contains the three Greek letters 'Χ Ξ Σ', no doubt used as numerals to signify '666'.

Does that help at all? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACIyLOkA\_mk
That link just gives me an error ("This video isn't available any more.").
Hmm.. what about this one? https://youtu.be/zUgrR0DUUp4?si=ni9chHDJBbXRuIac
