Joe D Carpenter - Ordo Ab Chao

Posted on the 12 January 2024 by Ripplemusic

Joe's been kinda quiet of late, well, quiet with his solo career, that is. I know he's working on something pretty damned cool but that's all I'm saying right now. Hence, the lack of his own material but that is rectified with the new single 'Ordo Ab Chao'. And trust me, it's been worth the wait!

True to the title, "Order From Chaos", Joe is tightening the screws here bringing order out of fury and pure relentless chaos. The song is mainly a little bit over mid-tempo metal with razor sharp riffs and lead-heavy bass guitar and drums holding it all together. The rhythm section represents order and the guitar chaos and both are fighting for domination and this battle brings it all together making 'Ordo Ab Chao' such a brilliant song. In my opinion order reigns which also makes the composition so good, otherwise it would be too damn chaotic for me. But that's my opinion, to each their own.

Regardless, Joe's done it again and it's great to hear his own stuff. Guess I got used to picking up his frequent offerings and got complacent. Therefore, this break he took made me appreciate his music even more because 'Ordo Ab Chao' knocked me off my feet. More of this, please, Mr. Carpenter!
