Actually, I think this album could rival De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas as being their best effort.

Nice review, I agree with you about Attila, he is one of the greatest if not the greatest voice in BM. I never like Maniac as well...drums are savage as hell, and the guitars are perfectly in sync with the atmosphere, it is indeed a journey listening to this album...but a very memorable journey. I could say that I prefer this over DMDS right now, this album is just an awesome comeback.

Maybe it was the production? I know quite a few people who weren't able to click with it. Loss for them I guess. I honestly don't think its overrated. Just look at this review, only a few comments and look at the mayhem thread, not alot of people are really going on about it. If anything, new Mayhem is vastly unnappreciated.

I remember a certain argument between Dr. Rock and Damnated.
Anyway, I'd also say this album is really underappreciated. Plus, it's definitely not for everyone.

There has to be something wrong with me as I always find myself enjoying the albums that are said to be non-easy listening and require time to grow, from the first time I hear them. Got it today and I was hooked immediately, also I don't understand the complaints about the production, the production is one of the best I've heard.

Yes, I really enjoyed it. Haunting and without doubt one of Mayhem's better works... or dare I say... maybe even their fucking best work?

Hmm I wouldn't know. It is a close call with De Mysteriis for me, that's for sure.

Great review, it describes this album perfectly. I just bought 7 records yesterday and Ordo Ad Chao was among them. I've listenned to it twice until now, the first listen was'nt easy, but i still found it really awesome. The 2nd listen, the songs were sinking in easier. I think this album is fucking killer, and the reasons why is that it's unconventional, Attila's vox are absolutely amazing, very dark, and the song structures are just WoW, crazy but interesting. It must be a little hard to play these songs live

This album keeps growing on me, and it's very likely that it'll creep up into my top 10 of 2007. Attila is a fucking monster, and his vocals at the beginning of either track 4 or 5 (can't remember atm) make him sound like a screeching dinosaur.

I prefer the things they did with maniac over this, Ordo Ad Chao sort of just sounds like mediocre doom metal more than anything else, but perhaps I have to let it grow on me like most of you say. Who knows...

This album didn't really need that much time to sink in with me. It really just knocked me off my ass and was as straightforward as raw BM should be. I find this album kind of catchy.

i see that, but it should be removed. you are staff members now, and you got promoted based on your reviews , well sorta. so these reviews reflect the opinions of the MS staff.

Lucas rated this album in the best way. and explaining Attila's role in Mayhem was really great too. I like this review because I'm totally agree with this review. And it can be a bit unfair to De Mysteriies Dom Sathanes but I think this album is better than DMDS!
A special thanks to God/Satan or anyone else who has sent back Atilla to Mayhem, to release another great album again.

After a long time, I have finally decided that Ordo Ad Chao is way better than DMDS. And Attila is really a cool guy. (have to brag about interviewing him with Jerry =D). And live... even in daylight they were great.

It's hard for me to choose. While "Ordo Ad Chao" blew me away as soon as I pressed play (and still does actually) I feel that "De Mysteriis dom Sathanas" has more replay value. I guess I want to say that "Ordo Ad Chao" is the better one, just to be a little different. But I really don't know. But the "Ordo Ad Chao" vocals are insane, those can't be beaten. I was shocked when I heard stuff like "Deconsecrate"!

To me, this album perfectly captures the atmosphere that every other black metal band always wished they could achieve. Totally insane.
