Once we got in, the first opening band Black Anvil only took a few minutes to take the stage, once they started i was immediately in the mood for the show, they were a great opener and got the crowd in a good mood. About 10-15 minutes after they finished up Inquisition came out to an already packed crowd in the Ballroom. Inquisition completely blew me away, so much so that I bought their new album on vinyl, and a T-Shirt. About 20 minutes of setting up the stage later the theatrics started for Mayhem, and when Funeral Fog kicked in the place went crazy, with a huge pit taking up around half the floor. Mayhem was incredible and it was truly a once in a lifetime kind of show.

The Norwegian black metal band Mayhem are one of the heaviest bands I have seen live, but I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. From the stylised vocals, to the constant shredding of the guitar, and their quirky props such as a skulls head, the show was electric and exciting. Since the release of the EP back in the late 80s, they’ve had a loyal following, many of whom were at the concert I saw them at. Their experimental elements of the black metal make their shows exciting and innovative, and also won them an award for their album Ordo Ad Chao.

They opened the show with a lengthy instrumental performance that I hadn’t heard before, which really got the audience in the spirit for the show. It’s always great to hear new material by talented musicians, and this went down really well. Their set and costumes were also visually incredible, and added to the performance, putting an element of excited fear in the audience.

They played a selection of tracks from Ordo Ad Chao, as well as many from their newest album, Esoteric Warfare, which was epic to hear after such anticipation of the new album. The band put on a brilliant show, which really blew everyone away.

Kacey Musgraves announces world tour in support of new album 'Deeper Well,' new song

mayhem world tour

Kacey Musgraves is back on the road in a brand new, 44-date world tour in support of her fifth studio album, " Deeper Well ," which arrives on March 15.

The Grammy-winning performer will kick off the tour in Dublin on April 28, while the North American leg commences on Sept. 4 in State College, Pennsylvania and ends in Nashville on Dec. 7. Supporting artists for the Deeper Well World Tour include Madi Diaz, Father John Misty , Lord Huron and Nickel Creek.

A trio of NBC-related appearances in the next two weeks — on "Saturday Night Live" on this week, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 14 and the "Today" show on March 15 — will accompany the album release.

Musgraves has also partnered with Jack Daniel's to allow fans to win a unique concert experience . One fan will have the chance to meet Musgraves at an upcoming show; plans for the location and time of the meet-and-greet show are in the works.

The tour announcement arrives with the announcement of another "Deeper Well" track, " Too Good To Be True ."

"Please don't make me regret opening up that part of myself that I've been scared to give again," she sings on the sparsely arranged guitar ballad.

"Deeper Well" offerings to date note how Musgraves' time spent in Manhattan's West Village and the iconic Electric Lady Studios — in a manner akin to Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger, plus writers like Allen Ginsburg and Jack Kerouac — inspired what she told Apple Music Radio's Zane Lowe was a different "mojo" and "energy" than Nashville at-present in creating the album.

Sonically, the album is a collection of self-described "classic songs" that involve "harsher" sounds and synths, a few "softer songs," and the influence of wanting to return to an "organic wooden instrument place and just no punches pulled."

"Deeper Well" is the 14-track follow-up to Musgraves' critically acclaimed 2021 album "Star-Crossed" and a past year that saw her achieve her first No. 1 entry on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the recent Grammy-winner (Best Country Song by a Duo or Group) "I Remember Everything," a duet with Zach Bryan .

Mayhem’s Long, Dark Road to Reviving a Black-Metal Classic

  • By Kory Grow

“We were repulsed by music about love and kindness – we just hated it,” says Jan Axel Blomberg, drummer for the pioneering Norwegian black-metal band Mayhem, who is known better by the name Hellhammer. “We wanted to make music that was the extreme opposite of that.”

“I guess there’s a lot of good things in life,” offers vocalist Attila Csihar, who pronounces his last name “chee-har” in a thick Hungarian accent. “The sun comes up every morning, and it’s beautiful, and there’s nature and family. But if you look at what’s going on in the world … we are living in a nuthouse with fucking wars and governments controlling people. So it has been my personal path to understand and embrace the darkness.”

More than 20 years ago, Mayhem put out an album that radiated the sort of angst that spoke to Hellhammer, Csihar and their bandmates at the time: De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas , the title of which roughly translates to “Lord Satan’s Secret Rites.” Its lyrics speak of growing darkness, bottomless hellholes, pagan fears and the undead returning to recount their damnation. It’s pure Stoker with a side order of Poe, uniquely orchestrated to caterwauling gothic guitar and death-rattle drums and topped by Csihar’s avant-garde combo of growls, grunts and operatic howling. And it set the tone for musical extremism for a generation, inspiring legions of disaffected headbangers to dress in black and hail Satan literally. But for all its importance and mythos, the group was never able to tour behind it.

In August 1993, around the time when the LP was originally slated to come out, Mayhem’s then-bassist, Varg Vikernes (who also went by Count Grishnackh in those days), brutally stabbed his bandmate, guitarist Øystein Aarseth (stage name: Euronymous), 23 times, killing him over what he claimed was a contract dispute. The murder effectively ended the group. That, combined with coverage surrounding a spate of church burnings in Norway, carried out by black-metal bands, and an unrelated murder, established black metal as the most dangerous musical genre since gangsta rap. By the time drummer Hellhammer could put out the album in the spring of 1994, he was Mayhem’s sole remaining member. The band re-formed in the mid-Nineties and now have a lineup that can play De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas live and separate the group’s music from its bloody past.

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

Mayhem kicked off a world tour, playing the LP, in 2015, and late last year, they put out the live recording De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Alive – captured at Norrköping, Sweden’s Black Christmass Festival – which documented their first time ever playing the record in its entirety. Now they’re in the middle of a North American run where the group, whose lineup is rounded out with guitarists Teloch and Ghul and founding bassist Necrobutcher, has been playing nothing but the album at concerts in grand, theatrical spectacles marked by some band members wearing monk-like robes and Csihar – morbidly dressed like a living corpse with rotting flesh – manning an altar. It’s an otherworldly experience that gives the singer goosebumps, especially when he looks back on the bizarre path that brought him to this point.

Mayhem

After spending most of the Eighties refining their sound and weathering lineup changes, Mayhem had found a steady groove by the Nineties and a consistent membership with vocalist Dead (real name: Per Yngve Ohlin), Euronymous, Necrobutcher (Jørn Stubberud) and Hellhammer. They’d previously put out a death-metal–leaning EP, Deathcrush , with a prior lineup and by 1991 they were previewing their full-length debut, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas , in the metal press. “We won’t delay it anymore unless something extreme happens,” Euronymous told Slayer magazine at the time, as he reported they were still writing about three more songs. His examples of things that could be radical enough to halt progress on the LP were “if Hellhammer disappears again, if Dead cuts himself too much at a gig or if I lose my passport in Albania.”

He was referencing the group’s recent tour of mainland Europe, which Hellhammer remembers as particularly arduous. “It was horrible,” he says. “It was the worst experience in my whole life actually.” The band had decided to travel via the continent’s robust rail system, rather than with a bus, with all its equipment. Hellhammer remembers having his money stolen and nights without a place to sleep. In Turkey, police arrived at the gig with machine guns and shut off the group’s power. “I could never do it again,” he says.

20 Best Metal Albums of 2016

Onstage, it was another kind of horror: Dead wore black-and-white face paint that has become known as “corpse paint” to evoke the look of death and he reputedly buried his stage clothes to give them a death-like aroma. “We had some impaled pig heads, and I cut my arms with a weird knife and a crushed Coke bottle,” the singer told Slayer of one gig in an interview compiled in the book Metalion: The Slayer Mag Diaries . “We meant to have a chainsaw but the guy who owned it had left when we came to get it. That wasn’t brutal enough!”

Regardless, the tour gave the group a chance to test-drive some of its new material. The album Live in Leipzig , recorded in Germany in 1990, captured the group performing four De Mysteriis songs with Dead onstage. As fate would have it, though, he would record only one of them in a studio. In April 1991, he committed suicide by slitting his wrists and throat and then turning a shotgun to his head. The first line of the suicide note read, “Excuse the blood.”

Euronymous took photos of the scene before calling the authorities, which disturbed founding member Necrobutcher enough that he left the band. The guitarist filled the bassist’s vacancy with Vikernes – who recorded black-metal LPs as the one-man band Burzum for Euronymous’ Deathlike Silence Productions record label – and he dispatched a typewritten letter that year to Csihar, Dead’s favorite singer, who lived Hungary. The guitarist told Csihar he had two initiatives for writing: an opportunity to put out the Anno Domini album the singer recorded in the mid-Eighties with the thrashy black-metal group Tormentor and to ask if he would want to perform Dead’s lyrics in the studio. “They loved my stuff,” Csihar says. “It was great.”

Csihar had formed Tormentor in Budapest in 1985, inspired by tapes of metal bands that his friends had smuggled into the communist country. The genre of black metal had gotten its name from Venom’s gritty yet campy 1982 thrash LP Black Metal , and groups like Celtic Frost and Bathory respectively gave it a pummeling and classical-music–inspired sinister quality in subsequent years. Tormentor picked up that mantle with ornate flourishes and an eerie atmosphere – best heard on “Elisabeth Bathory,” a song about a Hungarian countess who reportedly bathed in virgins’ blood – and were playing to audiences of 700 to 1,500 people – “pretty much the same crowd size we have with Mayhem,” according to Csihar. But by the time Euronymous had written him, he’d grown away from metal, and was more interested in exploring EBM and industrial music with a group called Plasma Pool.

Mayhem, The Death Archives

He listened to Deathcrush , “which was like, ‘OK, cool,'” but he was sold on working with the group – which wouldn’t happen for another one-and-a-half years – when he heard early versions of the De Mysteriis songs. “I was like, ‘Fuck, this is great,'” Csihar recalls. “It is going to be something new. It sounded futuristic. It sounded modern and very dark and cool.”

That new sound was in part due to Euronymous experimenting with another Norwegian black-metal guitarist, Snorre Ruch, who went by the name of Blackthorn, and led the group Thorns. Many in the Norwegian black-metal scene credit Ruch with being the first to do away with the thrash- and death-metal guitar style of playing chunky, chugging chords in favor of a looser, darker sound. “I was listening to classical orchestral music and the tonal progression in some of this music had a lot of drama and pathos,” Ruch says. “I experimented with minor chords and later added the super-fast picking I learned from Euronymous. It then developed to more dissonant chords and tonal progressions.”

“Euronymous was very inspired by that kind of playing, because when I toured with him in ’88, he liked the type of friction in the guitars,” Hellhammer says. “He really changed when he got into Thorns and met Snorre. His approach and style changed dramatically.”

Ruch was a member of Mayhem for only about three months, sometime after Euronymous had recorded the guitar for De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas , but his influence extended before then. “Thorns had reached a standstill and Euronymous and I had the idea of playing second guitar in each other’s bands for a while, but that evolved into merging my songs into Mayhem and canceling Thorns,” Ruch says. “This was interesting for me since Mayhem was a ‘well-working’ band and Thorns was not.” Nevertheless, two riffs from Thorns’ instrumental “Lovely Children,” the lead track on their Grymyrk demo tape, made their way into Mayhem’s “From the Dark Past.” “Some months later the internal chemistry in Mayhem was so bad that I did not care to participate any longer,” Ruch says.

The guitarist’s main contribution to De Mysteriis was editing some of Dead’s lyrics. “Dead had written lyrics and done vocals on four of the songs for the album, but he had also left behind some sheets with lyrics and ideas,” Ruch recalls. “My job was to make this work with the newer songs that did not [have] any vocal arrangement. Typically, I would change as little as possible. The challenge was to make the relatively short lyrics fit in rather long songs. I don’t remember much of this process, but I thought his lyrics were good.”

“Dead had a dark personality, I suppose, so his lyrics were all very scary, dark and eerie,” Hellhammer recalls. “It really reflected his personality. He really did kill himself later, so to speak.” He laughs. “So yeah.”

Dead explained in an interview with Slayer that he wrote the De Mysteriis tracks “Funeral Fog,” “Freezing Moon,” “Buried by Time and Dust” and “Pagan Fears” as a reflection of how he felt. “I can explain ‘Funeral Fog,’ it’s about a legendary place in the middle of the Carpathian horse shoe, a swampland called Shurlock Basin which is surrounded by fearful superstition and the weirdest beings are thought to haunt the place,” he said. “I started to imagine a heavy fog lit up by a full moon. This fog oozed up from that place, drifting woefully in silence to extinguish the lives of the local people and bring their souls to Lord Satan.”

He said “Pagan Fears” was about the idea that “the past isn’t dying but remains in some faded reality,” and the title track was about an “extraordinary evil coven” from a book that he’d apparently only heard about, but he expected to rewrite the songs. “I [decided] the lyrics weren’t evil enough and it didn’t describe the enormous force enough,” he said. In another Slayer interview, he said he needed to find the book that inspired the song “before some wimpy mainstream jerk” could. “I think I’ll have an expedition on my own around the world to find it,” he said. “It’s so dark, darker than death.”

Asked about the book now, Hellhammer laughs. “You see the newest Evil Dead ? You see the book there?” he says, referring to director Sam Raimi’s recently rebooted horror franchise about a hapless man who finds a Necronomicon that summons demons. “Dead wrote his lyrics about that kind of Necronomicon , bound in human flesh and written in human blood. He was sure this book existed.” Hellhammer later jokes that the book is supposedly buried beneath Trondheim, Norway’s Nidaros Cathedral, the church featured on the cover of De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas . (In reality, the 11th-century cathedral sits atop the grave of Norway’s Saint Olav, the country’s onetime king.)

One De Mysteriis song whose lyrics Dead did not write was “Cursed in Eternity,” which Necrobutcher – who’d written the band’s Deathcrush -era lyrics – penned. “At that time, I was heavy into books, and I read passages in a book about a shaman doing a ritual,” he says. “It’s about the shaman putting on a curse.” Asked which book inspired it, he does an about-face. “You know what? I’m not gonna tell. I don’t want to limit people’s imaginations. The fact that I actually told you where it was taken from, that’s already a lot.”

Although Euronymous often gets credit for writing the album’s music, partially since the artwork contains photos only of Hellhammer and him (“We didn’t have photos of Attila,” Hellhammer explains), the band members have posthumously explained who wrote what. Necrobutcher wrote some of “Freezing Moon,” “Pagan Fears” and “From the Dark Past,” and both he and Hellhammer contributed riffs to “Buried by Time and Dust.” “And Varg did some interesting stuff with the bass there, which inspired Euronymous,” Hellhammer adds. “We just didn’t understand how copyrights or royalties and how the business worked, so I guess it was only Euronymous’ name on it. If it were today, the songwriting shares would be different.”

In sessions that spanned 1992 and 1993, the band, consisting of Euronymous, Vikernes and Hellhammer, converged on Grieg Hall – home to Bergen, Norway’s Philharmonic Orchestra – to record. The studio was located a few floors up in the building, but it had a low ceiling and Hellhammer thought it muted his sound. Then he went into the main hall, where a five-piece drum kit was set up, and loved the sound there. “I says to [engineer] Pytten, ‘I want my drums down there,'” says Hellhammer, who recalls being a big jazz fan at the time, inspired by Buddy Rich. “And he goes, ‘Ha, you’re crazy.’ ‘Yes, I am.’ And then he understood. We took the cable for the microphones and ran them down the elevator shaft.” They set up some candles down there and dimmed the lights and subsequently, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas had one of the most powerful drum sounds in metal.

Eventually, they sent for Csihar in 1993, who arrived with his now–ex-wife. The country seemed like high society to him, but he was immediately impressed by the metalheads who picked him up at the airport. Vikernes was wearing chain mail. “I just hung out for a bit in Oslo,” Csihar says. “Back then, the cops were after everybody. And it was hard to survive because everybody was struggling. The scene was so small and very underground.” The band members shared their philosophies about religion and politics with Csihar, but he was more interested in dubbing albums from Euronymous’ and Vikernes’ record collections.

“It was cool – it was good times,” Csihar recalls. “It was pretty intense, too. Everybody was kind of high on fire somehow. This album had been going on for a long time, and I was the last part of it. So we rehearsed a bit and went to Bergen.”

In the time since the singer had fronted Tormentor, he developed a new, much more experimental singing style that he simply calls a “darker voice.” He’d gotten deep into the music of industrial group Skinny Puppy, especially their Too Dark Park and Last Rights albums, and drew inspiration from the husky growls of singer Nivek Ogre. He was also a fan of the dark balladeering of Current 93, the experimental wailing of Diamanda Galás and metal vocalists like Quorthon – frontman of early black-metal pioneers Bathory – along with more well-known singers like Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Halford, Ian Gillan and Uriah Heep frontman Dave Byron. But Csihar’s own vocal cords produced a deep, wraithlike croak that sometimes approximated the heavy throat-singing style he’d heard as a teenager on an adventure in Mongolia, when he and his friends would drink beer and sneak into monasteries. It was a far cry from Dead’s more straight-ahead approach.

“His vocals were something new, totally inverted and bizarre,” Hellhammer says. “It was grim and dynamic. You might not like it much but you can be fascinated by it. It takes time to understand what he’s doing and how he’s singing in different voices, and it really adds to the recording.”

“Attila’s vocals were something new, totally inverted and bizarre.” –Hellhammer

“I once said that this album reeked big time, because the vocals ruined everything, but the truth is that I had only properly heard the vocals on ‘Freezing Moon’ … but the vocals on the other tracks are perfect,” Vikernes said in 2005 . “I was used to Dead’s vocals and his way of singing, and I never wanted that to change. Attila … was more concerned about his ‘artistic integrity’ and didn’t want to sound just like Dead.”

Csihar recalls the band giving him a lot of space, both figuratively and literally, to get his vocals right. The studio he sang in was dark with curtains blocking the windows and only a few candles piercing through what he recalls as pitch-black darkness. “I got a hand mic so I could just fucking dance around and do whatever I wanted in the darkness, and no one could see me,” he recalls. “I was stuck in a trance in this dark room. I didn’t want the others to see me so I could cover it up so I could transform. I could shapeshift.”

Nevertheless, the band and their friends hung out in a listening room, and Ruch does remember Csihar making “weird, totally spaced-out gestures” while singing. Asked to describe them, he picked two words: “seaweed airplane.”

Sometime after recording, Csihar departed back to Hungary, where he was a year away from a degree in electrical engineering, so he could resume his college studies. “My exams were coming up, and I didn’t want to fuck up the whole semester,” he says. “My plan was to skip the next semester and go back later, because Euronymous had some plans for touring. I was really looking forward to that.”

Csihar waited and waited to hear from Euronymous but never did. Eventually a friend of his told him that the guitarist had been murdered, but Csihar didn’t believe it until he read it in a magazine. “I was like, ‘What the fuck, that’s why nobody picks up the phone for two weeks now,'” he recalls. “‘That’s fucking insane.’

“I was really depressed,” he continues. “To lose someone like that it’s … We didn’t know each other that much, but we’d been in contact for a long time. We liked each other. It was losing a friend. And then on top of that, you’ve got a fucking great album and it wasn’t coming out. To release something in those days was hard, especially for me from Hungary in the early Nineties just at the end of the old system. I was like, ‘I hope to fuck finally I can be on an album after playing music for a decade.'”

All Csihar had was a five-song tape he’d made of rough mixes in the studio. It would later come out as a limited-edition EP called Life Eternal , but he would not hear the finished version of the album for over a year and would not hear from the band again until then.

Meanwhile, Hellhammer was trying to pick up the pieces of the band in Norway. In 1994, Vikernes received a 21-year sentence for murdering Euronymous, as well as for church arson; he has claimed that he was not guilty in the latter charge and that he killed Euronymous in self-defense. Ruch, who drove Vikernes to Euronymous’ apartment, was charged with being an accomplice to the killing and received an eight-year sentence. So with Csihar unreachable, as Hellhammer did not have contact info, the drummer became the sole remaining member of the group. “It was all up to me to make this record come out,” he says.

He connected with his friend Robin Malmberg of the group Mysticum and used rudimentary computer programs to make the album art. He had some lofty ideas for the packaging – lyrics written in calligraphy on parchment paper, the band’s name stamped in foil – but because of the budget, it became more stripped down. He picked the cathedral photo for the cover because Ruch given it to him and he thought it was cool. The only photos he had of the band were shadow portraits of himself, Euronymous and Csihar, and the only proper portraits he had were of himself and Euronymous, so those were the only credits listed in the album. The other reason, possibly for a lack of credits, was, as Hellhammer recalls, “Euronymous’ father didn’t want it to be released, because the killer and victim were on the same record.”

He went ahead and released it anyway and says he has not been in touch with Euronymous’ family recently. Vikernes was released on parole in 2009 and he has not been in touch with Hellhammer either, though they’ve passed friendly greetings to one another. “There’s no bad blood between us for something that happened ages ago,” the drummer says. “I forgave him. This was the matter of one person wanting to kill the other. Euronymous also wanted to kill Varg. But I thought it was only talk. I could never in my wildest dreams imagine he was actually capable of doing it.

“It was, of course, a big loss,” he says. “But it would have also been a big loss if Varg was killed, because they’re equally great musicians. I haven’t talked anything bad about him over the years in interviews at all, because I saw this as a personal matter between two guys who got involved in a war with each other. I have no reason to go off and bash him.”

Vikernes, who has since gone on to release more Burzum albums and espouse controversial philosophies, declined the opportunity to be interviewed for this article.

De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas finally came out in the spring of 1994, and its influence was almost immediately apparent. Its songs have been covered by high-profile black-metal artists including Cradle of Filth, Immortal, Emperor and Behemoth.

“It was groundbreaking,” Behemoth frontman Nergal says of the LP. “When it was out, lots of people didn’t like it, mainly because of Attila’s innovatory vocals. People expected it to sound more like traditional black metal, but what Attila did was absolutely revolutionary and it still is. The genre grew up to this. I was mesmerized by it. Listening to this album, you can literally feel how it has this otherworldly effect to it, a deathlike sound and feel from beyond.”

Around 1995, Hellhammer reconnected with Necrobutcher and Deathcrush -era singer Maniac to re-form the group with a new recruit on guitar who called himself Blasphemer. They had hoped to continue with Ruch, as well, but his prison sentence prevented it. In 1998, they crossed paths with Csihar at a festival in Milan and asked him to sing the De Mysteriis cut “From the Dark Past” with them. It was the first time he realized the immense impact the album had on music fans. “The fans were totally crazy about it, and I saw friends from Italy who were into De Mysteriis ,” he says. “I always thought it was gonna be a good record. And then I started to meet other bands who liked the album, and I realized this album, it’s strong and more profound.” He officially re-joined the group in 2004, and they have since put out two albums, 2007’s Ordo Ad Chao and 2014’s Esoteric Warfare .

In the meantime, Mayhem’s legend has grown, thanks in no small part to a 1998 book called Lords of Chaos , by Michael Moynihan and Didrik Soderlind, that focused on the deaths in the band and the wave of church burnings that the Norwegian black-metal scene stoked. It is now in the process of being turned into a feature-length film by director Jonas Åkerlund , who was once a member of Bathory and has since gone on to direct music videos for Madonna, Lady Gaga and others. It has Rory Culkin set to star as Euronymous, and other actors will portray Vikernes, Dead, Necrobutcher, Hellhammer and Ruch, among others.

Necrobutcher released an excoriating statement about the film in 2015, saying he would do everything possible stop the film. Now, two years later, he says he has heard nothing from the production. “They contacted everybody behind our backs, our crew members, all kinds of people associated with us in a very sneaky way,” he says. “It’s the wrong approach. You make a movie of a band? The first people I would contact would be the band and ask for permission to use their music. Don’t come afterwards because we won’t authorize it.”

“I think all that know Norwegian black metal well know that the book was crap, and we are all skeptical and negative about it being made into a film,” Ruch says.

A glimpse of the fictional version of Mayhem was included in Metallica’s recent video for “ManUNkind.” Csihar found it unsettling and likened it to Mayhem making a music video that featured deceased Metallica bassist Cliff Burton, though he said he maintained respect for the band. “The film is a bit controversial for me, because it’s a movie based on our story,” he says. “Like, what the fuck?”

Åkerlund, through a rep, declined to comment for this article.

Although Mayhem have played all the songs on De Mysteriis live over the years, it hasn’t been until now – with Csihar back in the band and a two-guitar lineup – that they felt they could do it justice in its entirety onstage. “What do you do as a band? You release an album, then you promote it, then you tour,” Necrobutcher says bluntly. “That’s the only album we released without touring on.”

“It feels really good to do it,” Hellhammer says, adding that he had to relearn his old style of drumming for it. “It’s been a pleasure. People understand and appreciate it, and it means something to them.”

Ruch, too, had to relearn some of his parts as he joined the group as third guitarist for a gig last fall in Trondheim, steps away from the cathedral on the album sleeve. “It’s been over 20 years since I played these songs and my guitar playing is so rusty, I had to choose the most straightforward song, ‘Freezing Moon,'” says the guitarist, who is currently working on a new Thorns album. “With the robes and Attila’s altar onstage, the atmosphere was very ceremonial, but it all worked out very well. I saw the rest of the show in the crowd and I think it was the best Mayhem gig I’ve seen to this day.”

“Every show, I think about the guys who passed away,” Csihar says. “It’s a very magical experience. I really like the energy and atmosphere. It’s still very emotional somehow.”

Mayhem Launch Their 2022 North American Tour in California: Recap + Photos

The Norwegian black metal legends are joined by Midnight on the one-month run

Mayhem Launch Their 2022 North American Tour in California: Recap + Photos

Setting the Stage: Norwegian black metal legends Mayhem have been around for more than 35 years, which is pretty epic considering their tumultuous history that includes murder and suicide (as depicted in the 2018 film Lords of Chaos ).

The extreme metal act’s “The Sanguine Sodomy of North America” tour kicked off March 7th in San Francisco as one leg of a massive world tour, and hit Los Angeles the next night on March 8th. ( Heavy Consequence was present for both shows, with a photographer in San Francisco and a reporter in L.A.). The North American leg runs wraps April 3rd in Joliet, Illinois, with tickets available via Ticketmaster .

Mayhem originally set up the outing as a co-headliner with Swedish black metal veterans Watain. Unfortunately, just days before the tour was set to begin, Watain had to drop out due to visa issues .

Taking the Stage: Mayhem’s set was essentially a retrospective of their long and storied career presented in three acts complete with costume and set changes. The band fully embraces the theatrics of black metal, which helps make the show such an immersive live experience.

The first act of Mayhem’s set consisted of newer material, opening with “Falsified and Hated” from their latest studio album, Daemon , which landed at No. 1 on Heavy Consequence ‘s Top Metal & Hard Rock Albums of 2019 . With its spastic opening riffs that veer into a churning atmospheric dirge, it was a great choice. The song embodies the band’s style, which hasn’t wavered much over the years. Act One wrapped up with “Voces Ab Alta,” a track off their recent Atavistic Black Disorder / Kommando EP.

Then the stage went dark and creepy music played as the band prepared for Act Two. The lights went up revealing a backdrop change from a disturbing depiction of Jesus to an ominous cathedral with upside-down crosses. Lead singer Attila Csihar changed from a red pope-like robe to a black ritual style one with the guitarists flanking him on either side in hoods like evil monks. Mayhem had very little banter between songs, as they let the music do the talking.

The band then went into one of their more famous (or possibly infamous) songs, “Freezing Moon,” from their iconic debut album De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas . One got a reverent feeling as the band continued to blast through the older material with audience favorites like “Pegan Fears.” Its intricately speed picked intensity was very well executed by current guitarists Charles “Ghul” Hedger and Teloch. Of course, they were accompanied by the thundering bass of founding member Necrobutcher, as a mosh pit broke out within the crowd.

Act Three began with the instrumental opener “Silvester Anfang” from the 1987 Deathcrush EP. Now bathed in red light with a red banner emblazoned with a giant Mayhem logo behind them, the band launched into some true Norwegian black metal from back in the day, including the title track from Deathcrush as well as “Chainsaw Gutsfuck.” By this time, Mayhem had taken off their robes and masks, allowing fans to finally see their full faces. They threw in the “Freezing Moon” split single “Carnage” and ended the set with the short but brutal “Pure F**king Armageddon,” the last track on Deathcrush . The song served as a proper closer, as that’s exactly what the audience experienced during Mayhem’s set — pure f**king armageddon .

Solid Support: Midnight , the one-man blackened speed metal band from Ohio formed by multi-instrumentalist Athenar, was an interesting choice for the opener. Of course, there was supposed to be Watain in between, which would have bridged the gap a bit more between Midnight’s black metal party music and the hypnotic and brutal reverence that was Mayhem. Both Midnight and Mayhem also played longer sets to make up for their absence.

Midnight is certainly fun as the three-piece they have become for live shows. They found a hell of a drummer and have some good chemistry on stage despite being born of a one-man project. Their faces were covered in masks somewhere between bondage and Leather Face as they plowed through their succinct brand of punk beats with thrashy guitars and shouted vocals.

“Hello Los Angeles, City of Evil Angels,” Athenar remarked as they kicked off their insanely loud set with “Black Rock’n’Roll” from the Complete and Total Hell compilation. They certainly make “music to start fights to,” as their record label Metal Blade puts it, as they had a very decent pit going.

After some sound issues with the vocals and bass, Athenar quipped, “Can you hear the vocals because what I’m saying is very important.” With song titles like “Who Gives a F**k” and “Evil Like a Knife” it is clear they don’t take themselves too seriously.

Overall, despite the absence of Watain, fans were treated to a full evening of brutal in-your-face metal music.

Mayhem’s North American tour with Midnight runs through an April 3rd show in Joliet, Illinois. Pick up tickets here .

Mayhem kicks off North American Tour, new live album Daemonic Rites out now – News

October 2, 2023 News

Mayhem US Tour, live album Daemonic Rites out now

True Norwegian black metal pioneers Mayhem hit the road for its highly-anticipated North American tour with Cannibal Corpse, Gorguts, and Blood Incantation . The extensive trek will draw the final curtain on October 21 in Louisville, KY. In addition, the band has just added two new dates without Cannibal Corpse in El Paso, TX and Tucson, AZ. Tickets can be found here while the full itinerary can be found below.

Mayhem is touring in support of its brand new monumental live album, Daemonic Rites , which was released on September 15, 2023 via Century Media Records. The record is a comprehensive look at the legendary band’s chaotic and intense performances from various cities around the world over the last two years. The album promises to be a thrilling sonic journey for fans and a testament to Mayhem’s unparalleled live prowess. The full album can now be streamed, downloaded, and ordered here .

“We wanted to document how great the band and set sounds like after almost 40 years of playing live,” Necrobutcher previously explained. “As a treat to our fans, we decided to release this live recording.

“I knew from day one back in 1984 that this band was going to be outstanding – one of the best bands ever! I guess that’s a big reason why we still are here after 39 years, and counting.”

Daemonic Rites marks the culmination of the Daemon era, which commenced in 2019 with the release of their critically acclaimed studio album, Daemon . The journey continued with the savage EP Atavistic Black Disorder in 2021, leaving audiences hungry for more. This latest live conglomeration serves as the ultimate chapter-closer for this landmark.

About Mayhem: Preeminent black metallers Mayhem ready their newest live strike with Daemonic Rites for Century Media. The 16-track effort captures the frightful efficiency and utter lethality of the Norwegians as they close the chapter on their exalted sixth album, Daemon (2019). Throughout Daemonic Rites , Mayhem impressively nail newer tracks like “Falsified and Hated,” “Malum,” “Bad Blood,” and “Voces Ab Alta” to the proverbial cross, while offering pure fucking mastery of classics like “Freezing Moon,” “Buried by Time and Dust,” “Deathcrush,” and “Carnage.” The devilish quintet also add mid-career haunts like “To Daimonion,” “Symbols of Bloodswords,” and “My Death,” making Daemonic Rites a genuine career-spanning offering.

“We released the live version of De Mysteriis [aka De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Alive ] a few years ago,” Ghul adds. “That was received very well. We have been playing together for so long now with this lineup that we feel we have reached a point where we are a seriously well-oiled machine. It seemed like a natural step to try to capture this moment in the band’s history, with the same setlist we have been using for a while.”

Mayhem have nearly 1,000 shows to their name. Since their formation in Langhus, Norway in 1984, the band – now comprised of Necrobutcher, Hellhammer, Attila Csihar, Teloch, and Ghul – have brought their brand of bellicose, preternatural black metal to over 60 countries. From the United States and Germany to Australia and Brazil, Mayhem have stunned, bewildered, and turned rabid a global legion, dedicated as much to the band’s infamous legacy as they are staunchly in support of Daemon . Much of that respect and devotion started in the early ’90s, but persisted to the present day on the strength of official live albums Live in Leipzig (1993), Mediolanum Capta Est (1999), Live in Marseille 2000 (2001), and De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Alive (2016). Mayhem continue their on-stage assault with Daemonic Rites .

“For the first time in a long time, we felt again like a unit, musically,” continues Hellhammer. “That’s something we haven’t felt in a long time, and that shows in the live recording.”

Daemonic Rites wasn’t pre-planned. Rather, they had sound engineer/producer Tore Stjerna (of Necromorbus Studio fame) record everything – just for posterity, in fact – during the group’s Northern Ritual MMXXII and Thalassic Ritual tours of 2022 and early 2023. Mayhem and Stjerna pilfered the gems, resulting in gigs from London (“Life Eternal,” “Malum”), Manchester (“My Death,” “Silvester Anfang”), and Gothenburg (“Pure Fucking Armageddon,” “To Daimonion”) coming out on top. The penultimate Mayhem live album wouldn’t be complete without “Freezing Moon” and “Pagan Fears” – both from Csihar’s hometown of Budapest, Hungary – as well as newer tracks “Falsified and Hated” and “Bad Blood” from Sydney and Melbourne, respectively. Daemonic Rites showcases the two-time Norwegian Grammy (aka Spellemannprisen) winners at the pinnacle of their live potential.

“We play the songs that feel the best live,” Hellhammer says. “We have in the past tried out a lot of different songs from former eras, but when you play live for an audience, the songs must have IT. If they don’t, even if they are good songs, they won’t fit in a live setting.”

Adds Teloch: “We have a vast catalog by now, with so many different types of songs. It’s interesting to make them all work together in a full concert.”

Daemonic Rites comes off the heels of Mayhem’s incredible Beyond the Gates 2022 performance, where they uncaged cult classic De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas not far from where it was originally recorded by Eirik “Pytten” Hundvin (Enslaved, Emperor, Immortal) in Grieghallen during 1992/1993. The live album, however, was mixed and mastered over in neighboring Sweden. Stjerna, who also assisted with Daemon , took the phantasmagoric collection of tracks to his lair at Necromorbus Studio, where his sole job was to preserve Mayhem’s raw, unbridled energy and ghastly electricity. From “Falsified and Hated” and “My Death” to “Buried by Time and Dust” and “Carnage,” they’ve never had the quality of a live album quite like Daemonic Rites . If the past is always alive, this is a live album on par with Venom’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik , Emperor’s Emperial Live Ceremony , and Gorgoroth’s Black Mass Krakow 2004 .

“It fits with where we are now, or more precisely, where we were at the time of the recording,” says Hellhammer.

“[The live recordings] capture the spirit and energy,” furthers Ghul, “of where we are as a band right now.”

Indeed, Mayhem have been and continue to operate at a level not yet witnessed. While atavists will always relish the Deathcrush or Live in Leipzig lineups, Hellhammer’s drum performance against the twin terrors of Teloch and Ghul is the purest black magic on Daemonic Rites . Similarly, Csihar’s hair-raising caterwauling and spectral snarls atop Necrobutcher’s seventh-hell low end is witching-hour great! To support Daemonic Rites , Mayhem have videos for Daemon -era masterpiece “Malum” and late-’80s Killjoy dedication “Chainsaw Gutsfuck” lined up. Daemonic Rites is the perfect guillotine while the group craft new songs and conspire with others on what the group’s 40th Anniversary next year might entail. Mayhem are likely in their final form, and they’ve never been deadlier.

Lineup: Necrobutcher – Bass Hellhammer – Drums Attila – Vocals Teloch – Guitar Ghul – Guitar

Sigur Rós announce 2024 US tour with full orchestra

The band will play with the Wordless Music Orchestra, who they had performed with last summer

Sigur Rós

Sigur Rós  have announced a US tour for later this year, where they wil play with a full orchestra.

  • READ MORE: Sigur Rós – ‘ÁTTA’ review: their first in a decade is a welcome comeback 

The Icelandic trio had previously played with the Wordless Music Orchestra last summer, and now they’ll be linking up again for eight dates across the US. They’ll kick things off in Detroit on September 19 before paying visits to Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Durham, Miami, and Nashville. The final date will take place in Austin on October 4.

The pre-sale will open for fans on March 7 before general sale commences on March 8 – you can see the full list of dates below and buy your tickets here .

Sigur Rós’ 2024 US tour dates are:

SEPTEMBER 19 — Detroit, MI, Masonic Cathedral Theatre 21 — Chicago, IL, Auditorium Theatre 23 — Philadelphia, PA, The Met 25 — Washington DC, Anthem 28 — Durham, NC, DPAC 30 — Miami, FL, Adrienne Arsht Center

OCTOBER 2 — Nashville, TN, Ryman Auditorium 4 — Austin, TX, Bass Concert Hall

The tour is in support of the band’s recent album ‘ÁTTA’, which was released last year and marked their first full-length for a decade.

In October, they followed it up with a special version of the record titled ‘ÁTTA Heimr Edition’.

In a four-star review ,  NME  wrote that ‘ÁTTA’ is “a record that gives Sigur Rós plenty more reason to exist in adding some pure and natural soul to this cold and unfeeling world.”

In July,  Sigur Rós also announced an experimental video series  to go alongside the new album, featuring a video for each track created by different directors.

Holm, who is the band’s bassist,  disclosed earlier this year that he had considered leaving Iceland  after  the band was accused by the Icelandic government  of evading 151m krona (£840,000) of tax between 2010 and 2014. Blaming an accounting error, the band repaid the debt plus interest, but  then faced a second prosecution for the same offence in 2020 , which froze their assets.  They have since been acquitted.

Speaking to  The Guardian , Holm said: “I really did feel like I can’t live in this sort of society. I felt violated, basically. It was a dark period of time for all of us. It was scarring, you know. But then you realise that things just happen and it doesn’t really matter where you are. I have come to the conclusion that I love living in Iceland.”

Interview: Mayhem

' src=

Interview by Dayal Patterson

mayhem world tour

There is almost no need to write an introduction for a band such as Mayhem . Unarguably the most iconic and historically significant band in the history of Black Metal, they are a group whose notoriety and level of recognition increases with each passing year, and with good reason.

Their most recent studio album, Daemon , is actually a few years old now, though its life cycle has been curiously extended, the band only this year completed the touring in celebration of its release thanks to delays caused by the covid pandemic. In any case, both the album and the live support for it have proved to be a considerable success, with the two seemingly benefitting from the prolonged De Mysteriis anniversary tours some years earlier.

This Is Black Metal Webzine caught up with guitarist and main songwriter Teloch , a fixture in the band for over a decade and also a highly active veteran of the Black Metal scene since the mid-90s, having also contributed to Umoral , The Konsortium , Gorgoroth/God Seed , 1349 , and his own project, Nidingr .

This Is Black Metal: Let’s begin by talking about Mayhem becoming a live band again, following the lengthy worldwide lockdown. You guys have toured a lot in recent years – indeed, along with acts like Rotting Christ and Watain you are probably one of the most heavily touring Black Metal bands out there. This seems to have stemmed from the lengthy and successful Mysteriis Dom Sathanas anniversary tours­–do you know how many shows you did for that the end?

Teloch: “Probably a couple of hundred? At least. But it was over some years, at least two or three years. And then it was cool to tour after that and bring [Daemon] out to all our new fans, you know?”

TIBM: You say ‘new fans’ – Do you feel that touring De Mysteriis won you over to a new generation of listeners? There certainly did seem to be an unusually mixed crowd attending those gigs.

Teloch: “I think it was a combination of that, and also that shit movie that came out [laughs].”

TIBM: Ah, so Lords of Chaos really made a difference to your profile you think?

Teloch: “Yeah, I see we got a younger crowd and different people. So that’s new for us. There’re not just the regular old guys standing in the corner [laughs]. It’s not like a massive difference, it’s just we noticed a little bit of a change.”

TIBM: That’s interesting though­ – I didn’t see the film myself, but my feeling was that it didn’t make the impact everyone was expecting (or feared) it would.

Teloch: “[Laughs] I haven’t seen the film myself either. I tried, but I managed to see like two minutes and then was like, ‘Oh my god, what the fuck is this?’ I  was kind of curious, but I just couldn’t deal with it. But yeah, there’s definitely something going on there. Also, there was a spike in our streaming thing, it was going up a little bit. It went up the month the movie came out, and then it went down again.”

TIBM: That’s something I wouldn’t have expected. It seemed like everyone was expecting the film would be in normal cinemas, you know, like a Hollywood production, and then in the end­– at least in the UK –you could only see it in one or two alternative cinemas, so it wasn’t likely to reach many non-Black Metal people.

Teloch: “That’s a good thing I think, for us at least. But it is what it is. I guess we’re reaping the rewards from that movie now… in T-shirt sales! [Laughs]”

Mayhem React to Lords of Chaos Movie

TIBM: Well, that’s important these days [laughs]. How would you say the whole covid situation affected life for yourself and Mayhem over the last few years?

Teloch: “Like every other band in this period, we went out of work for a couple of years. If we would have been living in the same country, we would be able to work on some stuff, but due to travel regulations, it was hard to get anything done at all. So we kinda took a two-year break. It was okay actually since we have been quite busy in the last few years. Since I can’t sit on my ass and do nothing, and my options were limited, I figured out I wanted to try creating videos on YouTube. I created some sort of community around it together with my own Discord server. Although the earnings on it are very low, it kept me and the community busy and entertained for the whole covid period. I got to create stuff and the community got to laugh at the YouTube attempts of an old man. Great.”

TIBM: Obviously, the tour with Mortiis had been delayed several times due to the pandemic – how was it to finally get it on the road? And how did the decision to tour with Mortiis come about?

Teloch: “It was pushed back several times, yes. Not much to do about it. But we nailed it in the end, and I must say… no way we can do tours that long again. We had a five-week US tour, prior to the six-and-a-half-week EU tour, with five days in between. It was too much for us. But it was good to get back into it a bit again of course. Good to continue on the Daemon world tour that was on hold for a couple of years. Actually, I don’t remember how the Mortiis idea came about, but we were all in for it and it worked out very well!”

TIBM: What about playing all those aforementioned De Mysteriis shows, how did you find that, given that you were performing music from an era before you were part of the band?

Teloch: “It was fucking amazing because that album was the album that got me into Black Metal­– like properly into Black Metal. I had already been listening to that album for so many years, so it was a cool experience for me to actually get to play it live. It’s something I never would have imagined when I first picked up the album of course.”

TIBM: Do you find those songs enjoyable to play?

Teloch: “Yeah, those are the main songs that I never get tired of playing actually. They are classics.”

TIBM: Presumably they’re easier to perform from a guitarist’s point of view than some of the newer material?

Teloch: “Actually no, they have this… they have their own way. It’s something else than Blasphemer’s songs, that’s for sure. Blasphemers is very smooth, you know that he knows what he is doing with his guitar, but I think Euronymous didn’t have a clue what he was doing in a way. Everything is kind of hard and you can’t just relax and play it –you really have to play it very hard to get the same vibe out of the guitar that they had on the album. It’s more like going into battle playing the songs because you have to be really necro, really angry in a way, to play it. So that’s a challenge in itself, but I love that kind of atmosphere in songs and also performing them live.”

De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Alive – Full Concert Music Video

TIBM: Did you know Øystein [Euronymous] on a personal level at all?

Teloch: “No, I only met him one time. At this Deicide show in Oslo [in 1992 where I stole a T-shirt from him [laughs]. He was selling this ‘ Drepde Kristne’ [‘Kill the Christians’] shirt, so I stole that from his merch stand. He was standing there selling them, so I just nicked it. I still have that actually.”

TIBM: You were a bit younger than him, I guess.

Teloch: “Yes, only by four years or something though. But yeah, that was my only encounter with the guy.”

TIBM: You didn’t go to the Helvete store?

Teloch: “No, I was never there I think.”

TIBM: At this point, you’ve almost certainly played all of his songs more than he ever did himself, so I wondered if you feel like you’ve got a sense of his mindset as a musician at all, at least in terms of the way that he constructed music?

Teloch: “I don’t think so. Then again, I never tried to do it either. It would probably be smart and interesting to do it, to get into his mindset. When I started to learn his songs, it was easy to see a pattern, but I wasn’t so sure about how he wrote the songs, his mindset on that.”

TIBM: Do you know Snorre Ruch personally?

Teloch: “No, I don’t know any of these guys.”

Thorns (full album)

TIBM: Ah okay, fair enough. I was asking because he obviously had a big influence on Euronymous songwriting, and he still has a very distinctive writing and playing style. I mean, now it probably doesn’t sound so revolutionary to younger fans who now listen to Thorns or De Mysteriis because there are a million bands that copied that style later on…

Teloch: “…yeah, and that’s another issue with trying to get into someone else’s mindset when it comes to songwriting – then you’re just trying to copy someone, and I think that’s kind of not very exciting in a way. Even though both of their [work] is fucking great, and it would be nice to make songs like that, but then we’d just turn into a copycat. As a musician, I don’t think that’s very interesting.”

TIBM: That appears to be something Mayhem has always steered quite consciously away from. It would have been very easy to do ‘De Mysteriis Part Two’ back in 1996, but since the band returned it seems like there has always been a desire to do something new with each release. I’ve always been kind of interested in the way Necrobutcher and Hellhammer have allowed the guitarist and vocalist of each line-up to direct the band’s direction. That seems quite unusual.

Teloch: “Yeah, but I think that’s the way they like it, because then they don’t have to do any work. They’re fucking lazy [laughs]. What can you say?”

TIBM: When you’re writing, does Hellhammer work out all the drum patterns with you, or are you also involved in some of that?

Teloch: “Usually I write the drum guide actually. So I write the drums, the bass, the guitars and the vocals. And then I send it out.”

TIBM: Do you think that touring De Mysteriis for so long might have influenced the songwriting of Daemon ? Teloch: “I didn’t think so at the time, but I hear everyone else is saying that it did, so maybe. These are things that I never think about though.”

TIBM: I guess it’s hard to be objective when you’re in the middle of it…

Teloch: “Yes, plus I don’t really give a shit.”

TIBM: So that hasn’t changed.

Teloch: [Laughs]

Teloch – Mayhem

TIBM: Whatever the reason, I do feel like the new album is the closest thing to De Mysteriis since that album was released.

Teloch: “Could be. It was unintentional though [laughs]. All we wanted to do was to write some more simple material, because of being able to perform it live properly and also for the atmosphere of it. All this technical stuff gets very boring – for me, at least – very fast. So now we tried to make more atmospheric music and I think we did that. Tons of people say it’s like the De Mysteriis album, but we ourselves don’t hear that at all actually.”

TIBM: In terms of your favourite Mayhem album that you didn’t work on, what would that be?

Teloch: “Oh, it’s definitely DeMysteriis . The other albums kind of went under the radar for me actually. When I first started playing in Mayhem there were so many songs I had never heard before, that I had to learn, because I wasn’t a big fan of Maniac’s voice. Kermit voice, Kermit the Frog [laughs]. So yeah, De Mysteriis is still my favourite album from Mayhem .”

TIBM: That’s handy that you toured that album then – if the band was doing a two-year tour of A Grand Declaration of War , that might have been harder…

Teloch: “Then I’m fucked [both laugh]. Then I have to start playing the guitar for real.”

TIBM: Have you ever spoken to Blasphemer about playing guitar in Mayhem and the songs he wrote?

Teloch: “It’s not very often, but if we meet outside in real life we have a chat, and we also chat a bit on social media and stuff. I was actually talking to him a bit before I started writing [2014’s] Esoteric Warfare , and he gave me some pointers and also listened to some of my stuff. So that was a healthy experience for me I think.”

TIBM: Quite a few fans commented, and I would agree, that Esoteric Warfare sounded like it was somewhat inspired by Blasphemer writing style.

Teloch: “Yeah, that was my idea behind the whole thing, because he shaped so much of Mayhem in the later years, so it would be weird just throwing me in there with my Nidingr riffs. But it was also an important album for me to do because I kind of wrote myself into the band. So now I know what works and know what doesn’t work. I know what the guys are capable of and stuff like that, so it was a really important album for me. I didn’t want it to sound like my album in a way, I wanted it to sound like a mashup of all the Mayhem albums. The different composers.”

Mayhem – Esoteric Warfare (Complete Album)

TIBM: Did you feel more confident on Daemon to be yourself?

Teloch: “Now I didn’t give a shit about anything, so…”

TIBM: I’ll take that as a yes [both laugh] The general reception to Daemon seems to have been stronger than to Esoteric Warfare…

Teloch: “Yeah [laughs]. That was a little bit more difficult to like, I guess. Because people… I guess people were expecting a Black Metal album and they didn’t get a Black Metal album, so… [trails off]”

TIBM: Well, they got a type of Black Metal album, I think.

Teloch: “Yeah, it’s got roots in Black Metal, but it’s not a Black album, that’s for sure.”

TIBM: How do you feel Esoteric Warfare and Daemon compare personally? Do you have a preference?

Teloch: “I think Esoteric Warfare was more interesting for me to write as I did it alone, and it was a challenge. [On Daemon ] we tried to forget how we were writing songs and start over ­– like when you first start out writing music, just try to forget all the rules and just simplify things all the time. Where the other album was the opposite, and just tended to be as fucked up as possible, in a way. But it’s two very different albums, that’s for sure. That’s just something that happens to Mayhem when writing albums – you get something different every time, and I think that is expected from us.”

TIBM: But as a listener do you like listening to the songs more on Daemon than Esoteric Warfare or vice versa? I mean a song can be boring to play but interesting to listen to, or interesting to play and not so interesting to listen to…

Teloch: “I’m kind of done with the albums. As soon as I’m done with the recording and when I get the vinyl in the mail, I listen to that for the first time, and then that’s it. Move on.”

MAYHEM – Falsified And Hated (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

TIBM: You mentioned that Esoteric Warfare was written by you alone. How much input did the other guys have on Daemon ?

Teloch: “Charles [ Ghul ] wrote three songs, and I wrote seven.”

TIBM: Which three did he write?

Teloch: “‘ Bad Blood , ‘ Malum ’ and… ‘ Black Glass Communication ’ or something, is it?”

TIBM: [Laughing] You tell me!

Teloch: [Laughing] I forgot now. Ah, ‘ Black Glass Communion’ it’s called.

TIBM: Who took care of the lyrics?

Teloch: “I think I had about seven lyrics as well. Or six, I don’t remember. Attila had one, Charles had two. Necrobutcher had one and Hellhammer had one. So this was a joint effort, everyone just throwing things into the pot. Originally Attila was supposed to write all the lyrics, but his father died, so he didn’t have time to do anything. So I just jumped in and started to write whatever shit came out of my brain.”

TIBM: When you’re writing the lyrics, is it a similar process, or are there artists or inspirations you get particular influence from?

Teloch: “Normally I don’t write lyrics at all, but I wrote lyrics this time just to kick Attila’s ass actually, I also wrote the lyrics for his vocal guide. So it’s nothing special, it was very quickly done. Taking inspiration from everywhere, just get it down on paper, and as long as it sounds metal, I don’t care [laughs].”

MAYHEM – Of Worms and Ruins (Lyric Video)

TIBM: Is there a concept that runs through them?

Teloch: “Yeah, actually. Conceptually, the album is about different daemons, but you can’t ask me deeper questions about the lyrics, because there aren’t any deeper meanings.”

TIBM: That might disappoint some fans…

Teloch: “Well, well! [Laughs] I don’t care.”

TIBM: We’ve done three or four interviews over the years and of all the people I’ve interviewed in the Βlack Μetal scene you’ve always had quite a casual or at least unpretentious view of your own work. Do you notice that compared to other musicians?

Teloch: “Yeah, I think people are taking it too seriously, trying to make big words about the work that they are doing. Instead of just doing it. There is no point in complicating things when they’re not really that complicated from the start.”

TIBM: If I remember correctly, you told me that the last time you worked on an album, which became Esoteric Warfare , you ended up deciding with Necrobutcher to scrap everything you’d done and start again?

Teloch: “No, that was mostly Hellhammer , I didn’t speak to Necrobutcher much about the last album actually. But we went to Budapest to write stuff for a month – we rented this venue actually and went in every day and tried different riffs and stuff. And at some point, we had almost the whole album, but when we came back home I listened to it and I was like, ‘What the fuck is this?’ It wasn’t good at all, so I just sat down and wrote the album by myself.”

TIBM: So why do you think the group effort worked for Daemon , and not the previous album?

Teloch: “I think more transparency towards each other. We just communicated much better this time, I guess, on where we wanted to go. Instead of just me and Hellhammer talking. So yeah, it was much better and much, much easier to work like that.”

mayhem world tour

TIBM: Is it nice to have Charles playing a bigger part, to have another guitarist involved? Or does that make it harder, to have to mix these two different styles?

Teloch: “If I could decide, Charles could write the whole album and I can just sit back and relax. That didn’t happen of course. But it’s very cool to have him on board in a composer role instead of just being a live guitarist. So it’s definitely going the right way on that front as well. Still to this day we haven’t written any songs together, but I don’t know, I think personally that our styles are so different I can’t really see it happening that way. What do you think? Can you separate our songs from the album?”

TIBM: I have to listen now I know which ones are his songs. I certainly didn’t think that those three songs stood out as being radically different from the others, but I will be interested now to listen to them again and see if I can locate something different within them. I guess the two of you have somewhat different influences, when you’re writing do you ever notice any particular inspirations coming through? Or have you got to the point where you have done so much work as a musician that you influence yourself almost?

Teloch: “For me, it’s very hard to hear stuff like that. And I never heard anyone saying anything about it either. I’ve always been afraid of being influenced by other people, so that’s also one of the reasons why I don’t listen much to metal, especially when I’m composing stuff because I wanted to be more original.”

TIBM: So what do you listen to when you just want to listen to music for pleasure? You don ever listen to metal? Teloch: “No, no, it’s very rare I do that actually. I listen to all kinds of crap. Sometimes some good songs show up in my Spotify ‘discover weekly’, or whatever the fuck it’s called. But metal has become so much my work that I want to come home and relax with other stuff, just to get away from it a bit. So, it’s country, drum and bass, well the good stuff.”

TIBM: Right. And if you listen to metal what would it be? Do you listen to the stuff that you used to enjoy or are you still picking up on new bands?

Teloch: “No, never new bands, it’s just going back to the roots. So, Norwegian Black Metal from the 90s, and Death Metal from America.”

TIBM: In terms of the other members of Mayhem, do you sense that they have a particular direction they want the band to push in, or do they just relax and let the guitarist take care of that? Teloch: “It works very strangely because you can send out sketches and you don’t hear anything at all from any of them. And that means they don’t like it, and instead of trying to guide you in the right direction for what they want, they will just keep quiet, so you end up sitting and making thousands of sketches. But we all want different things, so it’s kind of hard.”

MAYHEM – Worthless Abominations Destroyed (Visualizer Video)

TIBM: Okay, so, for example, what does Hellhammer want usually?

Teloch: “Hard to say what, because he can say one thing one day and then change his mind the next day! And that is for all of them actually.”

TIBM:  Do you think the fact that Daemon was more of a team effort was part of the reason that there was this big stylistic shift?

Teloch: “Yeah, and it also started before we started writing the album. We had the idea of actually making a team effort instead of one guy doing everything. Try to act as a band, for once [laughs].”

TIBM: Whose idea was that?

Teloch: “It’s just something we mutually agreed on. To actually try to get that band feeling, instead of just hating each other every day [laughs].”

TIBM: Would you say there is a lot of friction in the band generally?

Teloch: “Yeah, every day there’s some new bullshit. But I think I like it when there’s something that keeps this ‘nerve’ in the band – that also reflects in the music, I guess. I think it’s important to have that, especially in a band like Mayhem … I think that’s one of the things that creates the thing that Mayhem is, these internal arguments and hatred all the time.”

TIBM: Would you say that beneath that there is a friendship there as well amongst everyone?

Teloch: “Naaah… only at a professional level.”

MAYHEM – Black Glass Communion (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

TIBM: ‘Professional’ is a word I don’t usually associate with Black Metal…

Teloch: “[Laughing] I mean we never hang out or anything, we only talk when we have to and only meet when we have to.”

TIBM: Okay, that seems a bit unusual.

Teloch: “I think it’s the only way to survive this.”

TIBM: Do you think part of that is because Mayhem is one quite a ‘hard living’ band on the road? Does that drive the friction perhaps? Teloch: “I don’t know. Touring is one thing, but when we’re off tour I think it’s more stressful, with different people’s bullshit. When you’re on tour, you’re on tour, and then that’s okay, but when you’re off tour, it’s like people are just sitting, trying to find something to bitch about, trying to find something that can cause problems within the band [laughs].”

TIBM: I’m guessing there must be a certain level of good chemistry because you guys manage to survive in a bus together on these long jaunts and, you know, a lot of bands literally split, simply because they can’t survive together in those circumstances.

Teloch: “Yeah, you know, when the heat is on, we are standing together you know?At the worst times of course. Now we’re getting older, so it’s getting a bit more mellow these days. Of course, as soon as I say that, someone will call me in one hour with something [laughs].”

TIBM: ‘Mellow’ also isn’t a word I associate with Black Metal… [both laugh].

Teloch: “Not mellow… but you know, it’s mellow in Mayhem way.”

Mayhem – Brutal Assault 2017 – Full Concert

TIBM: Would you agree that Mayhem is quite hard living on tour?

Teloch: “Aaaaaah…used to be, but I don’t think now, it’s quite easy these days.”

TIBM: There still seem to be quite a lot of ‘sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll’ type stories coming from the camp…

Teloch: “Oh really? Well, I can’t say anything about that…”

TIBM: No comment?

Teloch: “No comment [both laugh].”

TIBM: Is it fair to say that certain members clash more than others? There are a lot of strong personalities coming together in one band to be fair.

Teloch: “Yeah. It’s just that we all want to do this in our own way I guess, so it’s bound to crash at some point. And it crashes every day, and we’re used to it.”

TIBM: But the rewards outweigh the negativity?

Teloch: [pauses]

TIBM: Your silence speaks volumes! [Both laugh].

Teloch: “No it’s definitely a hard band to play in, and it’s not for everyone to play in this band, but for me it’s…I just take it on as a challenge, something that I can grow on, and it teaches me what not to do in my other life. So I’m happy to be here. To take it by the horns, you know?”

Mayhem – Deathcrush (Full Album – Remastered)

TIBM: I would guess that the financial side of Mayhem has at least improved a lot in the last few years?

Teloch: “It’s better now than it has been, but it’s not like we can buy houses and cars and stuff like that. We’re still renting apartments, shitty apartments. Depending on the next pay-out and stuff like that. So it’s better, but it’s not like Slayer or some shit like that.”

TIBM: But probably better than for the average Black Metal band I guess…

Teloch: “Yeah. It seems like it’s going the right way. But I think it’s deserved because the band has been doing this for 30 years, so it’s about time that people make a living from it. Everything was mishandled heavily when I started, so the first thing I did was just take over the social media, and got that up and running, and also took care of the web stores that we have, and still do actually. So, yeah, there was just a big mashup of bad business decisions going on, like old deals that they’ve been fucked on, and stuff like that.”

TIBM: The band has also taken more control over merchandising it seems. Teloch: “Yeah, basically everything is covered now, but the bootleg stuff is very hard to get on top of. It’s impossible to win that battle, I guess, but uh, when it comes to official channels, I think everything is going our way now.”

TIBM: And the shows are getting bigger i think?

Teloch: “It’s getting bigger and bigger. This is a good thing. I think this is a by-product of, again, the movie a little bit, but also because we’re doing things the right way these days, instead of drinking away and just don’t care about anything. We’re just doing things properly and we’ve been doing that since 2016 or something now. So, I think that helps a bit, doing it the smart way instead of the stupid way.”

TIBM: Why wasn’t it done in a smart or professional way before 2016?

Teloch: “Just because people were lazy, and nobody wanted to take charge of doing it the right way. I tried to get them to hire a manager since I started in 2010. But it was fucking hopeless. It was a big battle for me just to get them to agree to start a company. ‘Why don’t you have a company?’‘ We’ll have to pay tax [laughs]. So it took five years for me to get them to start a company, with shitloads of arguments. I mean, doing it properly with tax, doing it properly with the promotion, doing the correct interviews and all that stuff, being smart about things instead of being a Punk Rock band. Because Mayhem has always had this punk attitude towards everything in life.”

Review: Mayhem – Daemon – This Is Black Metal Webzine

TIBM: Speaking of which, you guys managed to surprise us all a bit with the collection of punk covers you released on the B side of Atavistic Black Disorder / Kommando . Of course, early Mayhem had roots in punk and used to cover bands like Dead Kennedys and so on, but this was long before your time in the group. What is your relationship personally to punk music and how did the band decide on this release?

Teloch: “Never been a fan of Punk, I find it utterly boring. I’m more into the old hardcore crossover really. But this happened when we recorded the drums for Daemon . Suddenly we had three or four days of extra studio time. We had already paid for the studio and Hammertime [Hellhammer], Ghul and myself were at the studio. Hence we found we would make the best of these days. I started an email thread with the band and provided a list of suggestions and we did a quick discussion and recorded a bunch. There are even more songs recorded than we released now. Don’t remember what’s left, but there’s probably a reason why we didn’t use them.” 

TIBM: What else are you up to musically? Can we expect a new release from Nidingr for example?

Teloch: “No new Nidingr planned as of now, I don’t feel like writing Nidingr material at the moment and I don’t want to force it. I’ll just wait until I feel inspired. There is no stress from any record labels or anything now, since we are without a deal, so it will come when it comes. I started working on a solo album just before the US tour, Vestfold. I wrote the album in 30 live streams, showing people my workflow and hoped to inspire other people to go out and be creative themselves. People were really into it, and that’s cool. Right now I’m waiting for the drummer to get the drums recorded and I will continue when that’s in my hands. This is more of a generic Black Metal project, like old-school Norwegian Black Metal, a bit Depressive and Atmospheric. Theme-wise it’s inspired by where I’m from, Vestfold, Borre. Looking forward to continuing on this one on the streams. And I have to tell you, it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done! Writing music in front of people is horrible! But I wanted to do it as an exercise for myself, to push myself a bit instead of being so damn comfy all the time.”

TIBM: Is Nidingr something that you can kind of work alongside Mayhem or…?

Teloch: “Well, the thing is that Mayhem has been keeping me very busy, not only the live thing but running the Mayhem company and running the social media, and I’m the band contact with the label and all that shit so… there’s not much time to write stuff. When I’m away the band just doesn’t do anything. They just relax. So that kind of sucks, but it is what it is.”

TIBM: Do you hear a big difference between your playing style on Nidingr material and Mayhem? Do you ever end up writing parts for Mayhem and then listen back and think, ‘This doesn’t sound like Mayhem, I better stop now?

Teloch: “I hope it’s a little bit different, my mindset is totally different writing for Mayhem versus Nidingr . With Nidingr there is more freedom, I can do whatever I want, but for Mayhem it has to sound like us, certainly. There were some sketches on the Daemon writing process that was totally Nidingr instead of Mayhem , so I just put them to the side. But it’s hard to say when you’re sitting there, I think there’s not always the bigger overview of what the fuck you’re doing. Usually, it helps just put it away for some time and get some distance to it, and maybe try some vocals and stuff to see how it’s going to be.”

TIBM: You have always stayed active within Black Metal over the years, so I assume you still have a passion for that style.? It’s not like your other bands are a completely different style to Mayhem for example.

Teloch: “I have some opinions on how Black Metal should be, but you know, it’s not something I think too much about.”

mayhem world tour

TIBM: Sure. But I mean, it’s surely not just a job, because if so, you could certainly get an easier job and have a more stable and less stressful lifestyle.

Teloch: “Yeah, I wish I went to school, that’s for sure.”

TIBM: But you wouldn’t want to work a normal job really, would you?

Teloch: “No, I think is impossible for me now to do a normal job after doing this for so many years.”

TIBM: You’re institutionalized.

Teloch: “Yeah [both laugh].”

TIBM: I think you must have a passion for all this to keep doing it, even if you like to pretend you don’t…

Teloch: “Yeah, but it’s not like I’m as passionate as other people, or as passionate as other people pretend to be. It’s more about doing my own stuff and not following any scene or stuff like that, I hate these scenes things. I’m more into the individualist side of it.”

TIBM: Are you proud of the stuff you do though? Proud of all your creations?

Teloch: “Yeah of course. It’s a ton of work put down on this, so many fucking hours, and the outcome is always great. It’s just not something that I put in a box and look at and cry down the road later, I am just done with it, and moving on. I’ve not attached to it anymore. But that’s what gets me up in the morning, creating, the process of creating. It’s interesting because you never know what direction it’s going to take or what’s going to happen on the way. What kind of challenges will show up and stuff like that? So that’s the cool thing about it because no album is the same. You know, it’s always something different happening, a different process the whole time.”

mayhem world tour

TIBM: Do you play every day or is it just certain days?

Teloch: No, I don’t. I wish I could but there’s so much paperwork and computer stuff that has to be done. I have a studio thing now. It’s just like 20 minutes from my house, so I go there every morning and I sit there until five or something, though often I have to do all kinds of computer stuff, so there’s no time to write or play guitar. But yeah, I’m there until five o’clock. Then I leave and I’m done for the day. I go home and have dinner, watch TV.”

TIBM: So in a way, you probably could do a normal job, because that’s quite disciplined really, the way you are approaching things.

Teloch: “Yeah, just something I started quite recently actually, when my girlfriend moved in, I had to move out my gear.”

TIBM: That’s why you got the studio?

Teloch: “That’s why I got the studio.”

TIBM: She didn’t like you playing?

Teloch: “No, it’s not like that, but she had so many dresses and stuff like that, shoes… so there’s just no room for all my stuff. But this solution is so much better, then I can get away all day without having to do stuff, take out the trash and stuff like that. Also if I feel like sitting and writing during the night, after five o’clock, I can do that as well.”

TIBM: I guess it also helps you to kind of separate it from the rest of your life. If you need time away from Mayhem, at least you have your evenings back.

Teloch: “Yeah, exactly. Turn off your phone at five.”

Classic Review: Mayhem – De Mysteriis Dom. Sathanas – This Is Black Metal Webzine

TIBM: Did you notice any change working with Century Media instead of the Season of Mist?

Teloch: “There wasn’t any bad blood with us and Season, we just felt like we were going nowhere, so we wanted to try something else. And so far, these guys have been taking good care of us. But the process itself is not so different. It’s just they do stuff their way and Season had another way. And so far, it’s going very good actually.”

TIBM: I guess any label you work with at this point knows that you’ve been doing this for so long that they don’t need to interfere at a creative level.

Teloch: “No, they never do that. Actually, it’s not only me, It’s me and the manager that handles the label, so the other guys don’t have to do this.”

TIBM: There’s a theme forming here.

Teloch: “Yeah. What the fuck? [laughs]”

TIBM: So how is it working with Necromorbus in the studio?

Teloch: “Well he is also our manager. So he knows us, in a way. He knows how to deal with us.”

Mayhem – Atavistic Black Disorder / Kommando (Full EP Album)

TIBM: That’s a bit unusual to have your producer also manage the band.

Teloch: “Yeah, but he’s also our sound guy on tours, so he knows what we’re capable of. It works great. We did a try-out, where he was working for a very low percentage. But he’s very good with numbers and he’s very anal about things, so it’s a good match so far.”

TIBM: That’s quite an intense relationship to have with someone though if they’re doing your sound, your production, your engineering, your mixing and then they’re managing the band. It’s a sort of sixth-member type of relationship…

Teloch: “In a way. The sixth member that gets more paid than us [laughs].”

TIBM: That’s probably every manager [both laugh]. Okay, so final words – What can we expect from Mayhem now? Has there been any work or discussion on new material?

Teloch: “We haven’t planned anything other than to finish this Daemon world tour… then we will see!”

TIBM: Thanks for your time!
