Norway's black metal legends MAYHEM have returned. Metal's most infamous band will release an as-yet-untitled new album, and follow up to 2007's critically acclaimed 'Ordo Ad Chao' later this year. In anticipation of the new album, MAYHEM are streaming a new track, titled "Psywar", with Decibel Magazine.

2014 sees MAYHEM welcome the 30th anniversary of the single most notorious and important band in the history of black metal. With the band's four revolutionary full-lengths, a legacy of boundless extremity, and an ethic rooted firmly in the principle of no compromise, MAYHEM are the archetype that three generations of black metal bands follow as law. As they enter their 30th year, MAYHEM reign as kings of the underground; ensuring that their shadow will be cast not just over the first 30 years of an entire genre to date, but for the next 30 years to come as well. MAYHEM is the Alpha and the Omega of black metal.

With an active new lineup at helm, MAYHEM's new full length showcases a band who follow their own path in extreme music, one that is equally violent and turbulent.



MAYHEM will also release "Psywar" as limited edition, stand-alone 7" Ep. The "Psywar" 7" is backed "From Beyond Event Horizon", an unreleased track taken from the band's 2012 Budapest sessions, and will come in different editions featuring art from Zbigniew Bielak (WATAIN, GHOST, BEHEMOTH) and Costin Chioreanu (ULVER, VADER, IHSAHN, and more). 'Psywar' will be pressed across several different colored vinyl editions and is available for pre-order here.

hopefully it's better than Boredo Ad Chao.

Fast forward 20 fucking years, numerous lineup changes, and three more full-lengths—lauded as much as they were derided—and Mayhem, the True Mayhem, has returned. Fronted by De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas vocalist Attila Csihar and backed by Hellhammer, Necrobutcher, and newcomer Teloch (Nidingr)

"2014 sees MAYHEM welcome the 30th anniversary of the single most notorious and important band in the history of black metal. " You're a little late Mayhem. Bathory turned 30 last year.

Bathory's first album came out in 1984, no?

Band formed in 83.

Mayhem formed in 84 but didn't release Deathcrush till 87.

Ah ok. I never really got into Mayhem so I'm not quite as up on them.
