Daemon (Bonus Tracks Version)
“Black metal's most notorious band return with their sixth album. Mayhem have never concerned themselves with following up albums, so while Daemon was crafted by the same lineup that gave us Esoteric Warfare in 2014, their latest release was intended for a life all its own. The band return to a more traditional black metal sound on Daemon. While it's sometimes reminiscent of Esoteric, like in "Ae”
Esoteric Warfare
“As much a brand as a band, Mayhem epitomize the intersection of fame and infamy in black metal. Esoteric Warfare isn’t as far-reaching as some of its predecessors, but it’s still an adventurous and energetic record built on stylistic explorations and enthusiastic shifts that you wouldn’t expect from a band that’s had three decades to codify its own sound.”
Esoteric Warfare
“Mayhem returns with a new record and an old school black metal sound.”
Liturgy of Death
“Now settled into a steady lineup, the iconic black metal band sounds reliable and reverent—but they shine when things get a little weird.”
