Now THIS rightfully deserves an Album Of The Year award.

92/100, for me.

I heard Wall Of Water a while ago, and it blew me away. :O

However, all the criticism this album got drove me away from it. But reading the review, I think I'm gonna buy it now. :]

I guess it went over my head after my first listen; I'll be giving it a second chance soon.

Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to listen to Ordo ad Chao but your review is very good. I'll check it asap. I thought your album of the year would be Deathspell Omega - Fas :huh:

This is top-notch stuff. I was completely blown away by it, and it's about time this band put out something truly worthy of their respective talents. This is truly challenging the boundaries of Black Metal, and rips the rules right out from under their contemperaries feet. Album of the year, maybe even of the decade. Simply fantastic. If you're of the mind that Mayhem is overrated, this album will change your mind. It did mine.

great review. I've never been then biggest mayhem fan, but ordo ad chao is truly a great album. it's nice to see a band move ahead rather then stagnate and release something typical and boring

The production sounds wrong, and strangely it works.

What a strange album. I listened to it twice yesterday and to tell you the truth some songs really shocked me in a good way... Still that drum sound is so fucking annoying. I hope ill get past to it.

I just plain don't get this album. Maybe it will click if I'm in the right mood.

Well, the album wouldn't sound so fucking grotesque with a sparkly, Dimmu Borgir-esque production.

There used to be a Myspace page with Anti and another song on it, but it was taken down a few months ago. The other pages just have their old stuff.
