Norwegian black metal veterans Mayhem are as iconic as they are provocative.
The 30-plus year career has seen the band hailed as, “Kings of the underground.”
Now, the Oslo based outfit return with their first studio album in seven years – anticipated release, ‘Esoteric Warfare’.
“When the question was raised to work with Mayhem again, I thought to myself “Oh please, not again”. I mean, that girl was pretty in the 90’s, but since then years of drugs, party and abuse took their toll. But nevertheless, for old times’ sake, and also remembering that chick always delivered, we made an offer. And we added a dental plan, knowing that would make the difference as they are getting in THAT age...” Season of Mist chairman Michael Berberia comments.
