With their opus Liturgy of Death, MAYHEM affirm their status as the most uncompromising force in Norwegian black metal. After four decades of extremity, the band has reached a new pinnacle of darkness: faster, fiercer, and more sinister than anything in their recent catalog. The album unfolds as a relentless meditation on death in all its forms—existential, spiritual, and absolute.
From the raging chaos of “Despair” and “Funeral of Existence” to the somber grandeur of “Ephemeral Eternity” and “Aeon’s End,” each track drags the listener deeper into a ritual of misery and transcendence. “Propitious Death” and “The Sentence of Absolution” intertwine brutality with an ominous atmosphere, while “Life Is a Corpse You Drag” and “Sancta Mendacia” leave no doubt that Mayhem remain unmatched in channeling despair into sound.
With Necrobutcher, Hellhammer, Attila, Teloch, and Ghul operating as a tighter unit than ever, Liturgy of Death presents a band unwilling to rest on legacy, determined instead to push the boundaries of extremity itself. The result is a merciless record—dark, fast, and unrelenting—capturing Mayhem at their most dangerous and vital. Forty years after their formation in Langhus, MAYHEM continue to embody chaos and prove once again that Norwegian black metal is a force without end.
