The most influential black metal band of all time is back with their 7th studio album, Liturgy Of Death. With this new opus, Mayhem reaffirm their status as the most uncompromising force in extreme metal music. Four decades into their career, Mayhem turn their focus toward the inescapable reality of death. Liturgy Of Death examines loss, fear of dying, powerlessness and the fragility of existence through a stark and unrelenting lens.
The first single, “Weep For Nothing”, is available for streaming/download here. A visualizer video will premier today at 12 noon (EST).
“Weep for Nothing” Mayhem’s new first single, turns the fear of mortality into revelation, a hymn to nothingness where grief becomes meaningless. With its cold and fast grandeur, razor-sharp riffs and a suffocating atmosphere, the band channels it channels the essence of mortality without offering solace or escape.
With Necrobutcher, Hellhammer, Attila, Morten, and Ghul locked into a unit tighter than ever, Liturgy Of Death celebrates Mayhem’s own legacy, a continuation of the raw and uncompromising sound that defined their beginnings. The result is a merciless record – dark, fast, and unrelenting – that captures the band in their most dangerous and vital form. Forty-one years since their formation in Langhus, Mayhem remain a defining force in Norwegian black metal, continuing to shape the sound they helped create.
I'm the lost one chasing colors to the sun
Colors bleed but never fade
