Mayhem^NO

Mayhem is a band that cannot be separated from its own myth. When speaking of this dark backbone of black metal, the focus often drifts to everything but the music itself. The band’s blood-soaked history has inspired books and films alike, and the Norwegian black metal scene was built, in many ways, on the legend of Mayhem.

Behind the chaos and controversy, however, lies an uncompromising artistic vision. Today, Mayhem sounds more vital, more dangerous, and more crushing than ever before. Their latest album Liturgy of Death, met with widespread acclaim, stands as clear proof and drives the final nail into the coffin of any remaining doubters.

This July, Mayhem returns to the Ilosaarirock stage after 14 years. Prepare to face the infinite – welcome to the heart of darkness.
