Mayhem

De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas

Now Legendary Album from an infamous band

Review Score:

(8/10)
This album is a step away from the brutality of early mayhem, moving us into a land of fast tremolo picking and furious drums. This cd is extremely atmospheric, especially the now well known song "Freezing Moon". It is a very dark work of old school black metal.
The few negatives I can think of for this album is slight repetativness, though for most its not an annoyance. The vocals of course are a huge debate, as Mayhem's vocalist dead died by his own hand before this album was recorded and so another voice was brought in. At times the vocals are very dark and evil, such as on freezing moon, while at others pitiful and almost humerous.
I recommend this album for any fan of black metal who wants to delve into the genre's past.
