Stillbirth Machine

Order From Chaos were one of the most brutal and raw acts in the entire world, I think. They were influenced by Repulsion in the buzz guitar/bass sound and by the growing black metal scene in the inhuman Pete vocals, so screamed, brutal and original. One of the best screamers in extreme metal.

The music is never on blast beats because the drummer prefers at maximum up tempo sections, but more frequently quite fast bass drum parts with lots of tempo changes and mid paced parts. Anyway the production is quite raw and it privileges the vocals. “The Edge Forever” is truly a group’s classic while “Power Elite” features some of the most brutal screams ever. The solos are distorted and approximated, voluntary incomplete and raw.

The brutality level is so high that sometimes deletes even the refrains but the ones in “Iconoclasm Conquest” or “Forsake Me This Mortal Coil” are well stuck and audible. When the band is on mid paced parts it is fucking good because they are never chaotic but quite well structured with some classic thrash influences. The drumming on “Blood And Thunder” is great and this song is one of the most violent here along with “As The Body Falls Away” with a great death/thrash riffage.

Overall, a classic in this genre. I’m not gonna give a too high mark like in the reviews before because to me there are better releases in this kind of extreme metal and I surely prefer Pete with Angelcorpse for the music there done. Anyway this is a fucking brutal album that surely will make happy any black/death/thrash metal fan.
