Legendary album, but in early archaic church burning BM bands has nothing to worship it. Todays BM is much better, I cant deny roots, but I didnt like it in 20's now I dislike it even more, Fen, Immortal, Wolchant, and so many other bands are much better in all.
Yeah you can really hear Mayhem's influence in Fen.

But to this day there are still virtually zero bands that play BM that sounds anything like Mayhem.

Except for Mayhem. I get pretty annoyed sometimes for how much praise the band gets only for their cult status compared to the last 2 albums. I can't stress enough how much I love DMDS but Ordo ad Chao and Esoteric Warfare are an accomplishment on their own, a step forward for modern BM. In terms of sounding absolutely sinister, there are not many bands that can do that (see: Funeral Mist).
The last 2 are where it really is!

This. As far as I'm concerned Mayhem basically invented a new way to play black metal with Ordo. It's still unique to this day (outside of Esoteric Warfare to a degree) and as such still holds up to this day in how effective and brilliant it is. They're pretty much the greatest black metal band from the original lot for the reasons you outlined. I'm always amazed when I see the occasional person crop up saying that they're overrated or what have you.

A lot of bands copied/expanded on the sound that DsD (and Ved Buenes Ende to a certain extent) created but I haven't heard a single band that sounds like or .

Interesting riffs and a uniquely dark atmosphere ruined by unintelligible silly grunts that destroy my immersion.
The irony of rating Inquisition's work as some of the best black metal has to offer isn't lost on me.

This is an excellent album. Really atmospheric. Horror-like with touch of Gothic or Baroque mood... It mixes orthodox BM with avant-garde BM approach. It is very nicely produced as well. A milestone.
