What do you obtain when you combine the violence of “War and Pain”, the temperament of “Blood Fire Death” and the malicious groove of “Symphonies of Sickness”? Well, amongst unexpected atomic reactions with statistical possibilities including the destruction of all cosmos, you will meet this deservedly cult Kansas City band whose heatwaves are still crashing against metalheads’ record players in the form of not only Helmkamp’s Revenge and Keller/Miller’s Ares Kingdom, but practically everyone who plays war metal or simply impudent, militant black thrash. The debut album “Stillbirth Machine” is an eternal favorite from this solid discography. It’s one of those albums that relentlessly crush for their entire playing time, grinding riffs convolving into spectral dimensions underneath the precise drum/vocals interplay. While sounding extremely old school despite the aggressive means borrowed from the blackgrind generation of Blasphemy and Beherit, Order from Chaos merges the Faustian essence of vectorized attack into pathless realms (best exemplified by the vocal chorus manipulation akin to a belligerent neo-fascist Kraftwerk and the absolutely crazy leads that sound like a neutrino storm at CERN shooting off) with a modern streetwise speed metal sensibility of using common phrases that elsewhere would be utilized for beer-thrash, but here the elité ambience is extricated much in the manner of Bathory classics to lead the brain onwards to serious contemplation of triumph, death and destiny.
We stand on a constant threshold of
A quantum hierarchy, universal and pure
A fantastic album and a fantastic band. I find the Altars of Madness meets Celtic Frost vibe of Dawn Bringer to be the apex of the band’s work, personally.

Very Good! I like it a lot! The band is sick, and deserve’s credit, for being talented!!! But really? The fucking guy that typed that shit… Shut the fuck up!!!! You’re a fucking idiot!! You don’t even make sense!! Shut up, and stop talking! Let the band take credit! The only reason I kept reading is because you mentioned, ” Symphonies of Sickness!”
Any dumb ass that knows anything about anything knows good bands/good metal! Take it from a vet, that toured with Carcass and others! Good music is good music! You made it sound SOOOOO!!!…. Amazing, that when I actually heard it, I wasn’t impressed! You need to just shut your mouth, and let people hear it for them selves! Only then will they fully appreciate a good band like this!!!! The Band is really good! They are sick!!!! Let people make their own minds up!! Let them decide if they like it or not! So shut your face and say, “Hey this band is sick! Check them out!!” Then people will agree! Then!… They will.. WOW! Listen! Holy shit!
Don’t be that guy!
“I am the coolest metal guy on earth!”
“You all bow to me!”
“I know more about heavy metal than my mom!”
Just enjoy it! Fuck Head!

Yes Steve, because everyone’s name in METAL WORLD is “DUDE” and “FUCK YEAH”, and anyone doing more than making ape sounds is a pretentious prick. Wait….OH SHI-
