Well wider appeal or not they obviously aren't hiding the black n' roll sound, you like it or you don't. I really like their old material and I haven't really sat down and listened to anything after Nemesis Divinia on purpose, based on what I've heard because I knew I wouldn't care for it. Except for this album of course...I was listening to this and Darkthrone all weekend, guess I like black&roll.

Frost is 1000% solid on this album and every stroke is perfect. He exhibits some blazing speed in some parts but never relies heavily on blastbeats.

Maybe this along with the new Immortal would have appealed to more black metal purists (I use that term without any snobbery intended) if the production was intentionally shitty?

I really dig Mayhem's Ordo Ad Chao btw - the shit production gives it evil overtones which they couldn't do with crystal-clear high frequencies and fat bass.


i will fully back Rebel Extravaganza, but anything after is just painfully bad to me.

intentionally shitty production bugs me sometimes, i love raw and gritty production, but the way they did it back in the day had so much more belief behind it. now its done to be kvlt instead of being done because that's what they had available, or preferred. yet at the same time, some of the classics had pretty good production. look at De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, that has clear production and is one of the most powerful in the genre.

and no matter how many times i listen to it, i think Ordo Ad Chao is crap. the drums sound awful, and the riff work is weak.
