The legendary black metal band Mayhem is back with a vengeance! Their upcoming seventh studio album, titled 'Liturgy of Death,' is set to unleash its dark magic on February 6th, and fans are already hyped.
But first, let's talk about the lead single. 'Weep for Nothing' is an epic seven-minute journey through the band's signature sound. The song seamlessly transitions from atmospheric blasting to doom-laden passages, and even ventures into progressive territories. Attila Csihar's vocal prowess shines as he alternates between aggressive rasps and hauntingly beautiful clean vocals, adding depth to the track's dynamic nature.
Mayhem maintains the same lineup as their 2019 album 'Daemon,' with Csihar, Necrobutcher, Hellhammer, Ghul, and Morten (Teloch) forming a formidable musical force. This consistency promises a cohesive and powerful listening experience.
And now, the controversy... The band's tour, aptly named 'Death Over Europe,' has sparked excitement and debate. Kicking off in the Netherlands on February 5th, the tour features support from Marduk and Immolation, two equally renowned metal acts. But will this tour live up to the hype? Only time will tell, and fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to witness this metal extravaganza.
Mayhem's new album follows their 2023 live release, 'Daemonic Rites,' and their 2021 EP, 'Atavistic Black Disorder / Kommando.' These recent works have kept the band at the forefront of the metal scene, and 'Liturgy of Death' is poised to solidify their legendary status.
