MAYHEM

7th album from 2026 by Norway's MAYHEM and further proof that one of the most influential bands in Black Metal history remains capable of evolving while preserving its identity. Released seven years after "Daemon", the album finds Attila Csihar, Necrobutcher, Hellhammer, Teloch and Ghul continuing to expand the dark, ritualistic and atmospheric approach developed throughout the band's recent era.

"Liturgy of Death" revolves around themes of mortality, death and transcendence, delivering a dense and immersive form of Black Metal built upon icy riffing, unsettling atmospheres, dynamic songwriting and Attila's unmistakable vocal performance. While retaining strong ties to the spirit of "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas", the album also embraces a more refined and contemporary production that enhances its oppressive character. Dark, challenging and deeply atmospheric, it stands as another strong entry in the catalogue of a band that continues to shape the Black Metal landscape more than four decades after its formation.
