Mayhem return with Liturgy of Death, a 7th studio album that reflects on four decades of black metal innovation since the band’s formation in Oslo in 1984. Across more than 45 minutes, the group continue to push into cold, uncompromising territory, drawing a clear line from their earliest foundations to their current work. This record acts as both a statement of intent and an anniversary reflection, reinforcing their status as a defining force within extreme music. The current line-up - Attila Csihar on vocals, Ghul and Teloch on guitars, Necrobutcher on bass, and Hellhammer on drums - channel the raw spirit and stark atmosphere that has kept the band central to the genre’s evolution. Liturgy of Death does not seek nostalgia, but rather stands as a continuation of the restless creative drive that shaped Mayhem from the beginning. It underlines their place in the canon, not as a museum piece, but as a band still shaping the language of black metal.
