In all the years since my having been affiliated with black metal music, I've heard of no better masterpiece than De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas. The only part of the album, which could perhaps be questionable are Csihar's unorthodox vocals, but after a person listens the album through a few times, they will see that even the vocals are praise-worthy.
Hellhammer's drumming is extremely inventive and unmatched, and the riffs are some of the most epic ever to have arisen out the black metal scene.
Truly a work of art.

MayheM... back then they were good (I don't like the new MayheM).
This is my favorite Black Metal album. This one leads my way into bm. It's cold, it's evil, it's raw, it's how it shoud be: Kvlt as Fvkk. Just listen to Freezing Moon and you know what I mean. Csihar's vocals fit perfect with the atmosphere. The drums are like hell and the overall sound is just great.
De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is a masterpiece in Black Metal history. 5 pentagrams \m/

What can be said that has not been said? An utterly monstrous beast of an album. Unsurpassed in its pure one-dimensional deployment of chilling aural devastation. The band was led by guitar player Euronymous, [Oystein Aarseth] who took his name [apparently] from an old Hellhammer, track ‘Eurynomous’ found on the 1983 Satanic Rites demo. The band name is taken from the Venom song "Mayhem with Mercy.
Guitarist, Oystein Aarseth can be cited as the godfather of Norwegian Black Metal, his very name evokes the acute reality of the scenes early ascension, and his band surmounts the impressive list of bands who make up the scene, as true cult legends. The very mention
of ‘Mayhem’ overshadows the very point of its existence, the music.
This statement rings true with every other Mayhem release, being that the music has never lived up to expectations and how could it? De Mysteris Dom Sathanas [translated as ‘Lord Satan's Secret Rites], contains the very embodiment of Euronymous, at a time when a whole movement was about to erupt. You can smell the smouldering remains of wooden stave churches amongst the music’s claustrophobic atmosphere.
With original Vocalist ‘Dead’, having blown his head off, the vocal duties passed to Attilla Csihar [from Hungarian band Tormentor], and his hellish drones are forever immortalized within the blood letting magnitude of the album.
The cover is a silhouette of the Grand Cathedral, Nidaros-Domen, a place Varg Vikernes had hinted at blowing up.
The songs are peerless, dispelling all pretenders to a fiery end. Contrary to popular belief, Count Grishnackh does play bass on this album; his bass was not removed as is widely thought.
Snorre Ruch plays guitar on the entire "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" album, Ruch was never credited on the original version, but he is credited in the liner notes for "The Studio Experience" box as well as on Attila's "Beast Of" compilation. He also wrote a few riffs (intros to Cursed in Eternity and From The Dark Past, and possibly a few more shorter parts) and edited/partly re-wrote four of the lyrics, as they were in fragments after Dead's death. [Info courtesy of Dan Thorbjørnsen]
Some argue that without the controversy of events outside the music, this album would be taken as a basic/standard Black Metal workout, nothing special and doomed to obscurity. I would argue the opposite, as De Mysteriis, just batters the air and subsequently lays barren any preconceptions of ‘the sub-standard’ to dust.
It is far cry from the bands 1987 debut ‘Deathcrush’, a toneless adaptation of Venom and Hellhammer, and consisting of all the limitations of an inexperienced first release. By contrast the follow up to the virtually immaculate, De Mysteriis, was Wolfs Lair Abyss [1997] and A Grand Declaration of War [2000] were pale comparisons, lacking personality and depth, albeit strong quality Black Metal releases.
The release of the Ordo AD Chao album has reasserted the bands former greatness, having captured the very wrought staleness of De Mysteriis, and harnessing the bands most bleak sounding opus since that classic debut.

Mayhem is one of the most highly recognized bands in the black metal genre due to their controversial past (which I won’t go into detail here), but they are also well known for their music, specifically their first full-length album “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas”.
Now, as for the music, “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas” proves that there is more to Mayhem than just a controversial past. All the songs found on this album are top quality black metal tracks, and fine examples of black metal being performed at its absolute purest. But what also helps makes this album even better is the fact that every song, while being filled with darkness, coldness and evil, is a different, unique and memorable listening experience. Anyone who listens to this will recognise why “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas” is one of the most highly regarded albums in black metal.
The production for this album is very well done, not quite raw but not exactly a clean and polished job either. In a way this gives the best of both worlds, for those who adamantly prefer their black metal raw or clean, this gives a great balance between the two which everyone can appreciate.
“De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas” is a perfect example of black metal done right. 5 out of 5.

Of all the thousands of Black Metal albums released over the years, this might just be the only one you need. This is early Norwegian Black Metal, writ very large.
