It does mean something like: "The only truth is the finality of death" or "True annihilation lies in Death".
It is also a phrase used in a type of Heavy Metal music, called "Death Metal", characterized by deep growls, loud bass, and screams.

Certainly Latin, grammatically correct, and literally "nothing is true except death". Given some context, there might be a more idiomatic translation.

As the others have said, this is in fact Latin, but no one so far has actually translated it correctly. It means, quite literally, 'nothing is true except death'. Hope this helps.

Verum Latin

NIHIL= (undeclinable) nothing
VERUM= Not found.
NISI=if not, unless, except.
MORS=death.
those are Latin translations, real translated into latin is:
verus=true, real, proper, right.
vere= in fact, real, true. truly, really, actually, rightly.
unless verum is bad dialect, it is not Latin

"Only death is real" or "Only death is final." Yep, it's Latin alright.
