Mayhem are one of the leaders of the black metal genre & an inspiration for many black metal bands worldwide today, having existed for 30 years, with an often dark and tragic history giving them unrivalled infamy. This classic ‘Leipzig’ performance took place on November 26th 1990, featuring the seminal Mayhem line-up of Hellhammer, Necrobutcher, Euronymous & Dead, and contains live renditions of tracks from the ‘Deathcrush’ release (1987) and 1994’s landmark album, ‘De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas’, including the ultimate black metal classic, ‘The Freezing Moon’.
...das Lila war schon beim originalen Release mit dabei - irgendwie find ich's passend, vielleicht grad weils grad irgendwie aneckt. Und die alten Mayhem gehören ja eigentlich mit zu denen welche die trveness im Black Metal mitdefiniert haben, von daher läuft das dann wohl unter trve evil lila!
