De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas

Mayhem's Satanic Mysteries

Review Score:

(10/10)
"De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" by Mayhem is the greatest masterpiece of black metal music. It has no boundaries for description. It is great! This was the last album of Euronymous who was later killed. Vocals feature Attila from Tormentor and Aborym. Basses are arranged by Varg Vikernes, the murderer of Euronymous. Drums are by Hellhammer. Mayhem's triumph is "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas."

First of all, the album is cold, dark, black, desperate, grim, hopeless, disgusting, evil, pessimistic, ugly, mad, insane, filthy, dim, ghastly, horrible etc. All these apply to this album. That's what makes "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" an excellent work.

Euronymous' guitars are, as always, great! Basses of Varg Vikernes ( or Hellhammer's in later editions ) rock! Drums are tight and fast. The vocals are masterpiece! Attila's voice is a mixture of falsetto, growls, screams and rasps, which tone the album perfectly.

The greatest masterpiece of black metal! The essential meaning of black metal!
