Mayhem are alive and kicking like a beast from Hell, 35 years into their career, and fixing to release what so far feels like one of the bleakest, yet most confident albums of 2019.
The second offering we hear off Daemon is a freaky and quite theatrical black metal piece, featuring an unmissable vocal performance by Attila Csihar, and introducing the writing of guitarist Ghul, who's been with Mayhem since 2014's Esoteric Warfare.
"Here we are, yet another chapter written in the book of Mayhem, with a track that Ghul wrote," says the band's other guitarist, Teloch. "This is a premiere track for Ghul, showing off what he will bring to the table. So indeed our new album has two composers, instead of one. It shall be much more interesting, as for Mayhem, having two composers in the band, is not the norm. Turn up the fucking Volume!"
Daemon is out October 25th, 2019 through Century Media.
