MAYHEM
Mayhem (often called 'The True Mayhem') is a black metal band, formed in 1984[1] in Oslo, Norway. The band name is taken from the Venom song, Mayhem with Mercy.[2] Much controversy has followed the various murders, suicides and other forms of violence that surrounded the band in the early years. Mayhem is considered one of the most controversial bands in modern musical history, especially due to the vast number of urban legends and myths surrounding their early years, and the controversies have often overshadowed the music, especially in recent years due in part to the Internet and magazine articles.
Over time Mayhem has evolved through a variety of black metal styles, delving at times into areas of dark avant-garde industrial and electronica. Highly influential, the group is widely considered to be one of the cornerstones of the black metal movement.
In 1994, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas was released and formally dedicated to Euronymous. Its release had been delayed due to complaints filed by Euronymous' family, who had objected to the presence of bass parts played by Vikernes. Contrary to contemporary reports these were not re-recorded by Hellhammer and appear unblemished. At this point the band's history is much more based on fact, rather than mere urban legends, myths and tall tales.
By late 1995 Hellhammer had decided to reform the band with the help of new guitarist Blasphemer (Rune Erickson) and two previous Mayhem members - Maniac and Necrobutcher. The first release of this new lineup was a 1997 EP titled Wolf's Lair Abyss, and was followed by some live European shows. One of these took place in Milan, Italy, guest starring Attila Csihar, and was recorded for the Mediolanum Capta Est live album of that year. It has been noted by nearly all listeners that this lineup has been much more technical as well as adventurous and musically innovative.In 2000 the band's second full-length CD, Grand Declaration of War was released. Strongly influenced by progressive and avant-garde metal, the album was concept-based, dealing with themes of war and post-apocalyptic destruction. Maniac largely abandoned the traditional black metal rasp for dramatic spoken-word monologue, with most of the songs sequencing seamlessly into one another. Reaction to the album was polarized. Some criticised the album for its avant-garde and electronic elements, which they perceived as pretentious, and for Maniac's vocals, which they perceived as inferior to Dead's and Attila's; others saw it as a laudable attempt to recreate and redefine black metal, with critic Brian Russ of BNR Metal going so far as to call it "really the first cohesive work the band has ever done" and "a fitting culmination to their career thus far." In retrospect, the electronic elements of the album were often heavily overstated by its detractors, appearing notably in only a single track, "A Bloodsword and a Colder Sun."After a four year silence, Mayhem released Chimera in 2004. It showed a return to their earlier raw and brutal style, but with considerably better production values than earlier releases. Chimera still maintained a progressive edge, perhaps due to increasing input from Blasphemer. In 2004, Maniac was forced out of the band and Attila Csihar was reinstated as his replacement.
The band's fourth album, titled Ordo ad Chao (Latin for "Order to Chaos"), was released on April 16, 2007 (April 17 in the United States and Canada) on Season of Mist Records. The single, "Anti," can be heard for free on the band's official MySpace, and is the last of eight tracks on the album. Ordo ad Chao contains a much rawer sound than the rest of the band's recent work; the drums are not equalized and the mix is notably bass-heavy. Despite this, the album continues the band's experiments with unorthodox song structures, with "Illuminate Eliminate," at 9'44", being the band's second longest track to date (behind Grand Declaration of War’s "Completion in Science of Agony (Part I)").
The band was scheduled to perform a mini U.S. tour during the summer of 2007. The tour would have been the first for Mayhem in the U.S. with Attila on vocals. Mayhem unfortunately canceled the entire tour, citing Hellhammer's broken right arm as the reason for the cancellation.
Deconsecrate-pjesma je inače s novog Mayhemovog albuma,jeben je i zove se
Ordo Ad Chao
Telepathic illusion injected into mass pathology
Lies of all religions of priests
Versions of genesis
And non-existent prophets
A dry silhouette of dead god
Propelled by the
Damaged frontal lobes
The obtuse humans
Roam in somnambulism
Towards the deaf walls
Kneel and pray to nothingness there
As if the dead toll
Of bloodless massacre
Holy charisma as mind control shift
Psychic magnetic field
Endless emanation braindeads
Pierced by
Phalloid obelisks
No one not even there
Saviour had ever been resurrected
Abandoned, disposed, discarded
I order all symbols crumble
I order the consumption of all churches
