How is it music?
this stache is mayhem
OAChao lo-fi ? Hope not ! I would not want to pass up on it as I did with that other one ! Could you tell me whether the guitar can be heard well enough as on Chimera ? Through youtube and headphones it would seem it’s OK at the very least ! Am I wrong ? Please tell me; thanx for your review.
Anthony Mayhano
I really liked it. much better than I expected. the drum sound is just aweful though. the drumming on the other hand is top notch. a very musician friendly album. 8/10 for me.
that album in the back there?
Lol, Anthony looks like Ghul from Mayhem
guy have no idea what s the name fool this is true warfare
Strong 8 would fit better
CLASSIC REVIEW:DEATHCRUSH AND THEIR DEBUT
I saw no positive progression from the much better ordo ad chao.
My girlfriend thinks you look like Skeet Ulrich.
Thumbs down on your review for, again, not taking the time to get your facts straight.
The propaganda you continuously spew against Varg Vikernes is unprofessional and obnoxious. Only two people know what exactly happened in that “Cabin In The Woods” and one of them died that day. As for the farcical trial, Mao/Stalin and the likes would have been proud… Any very small amount of research reveals a clear fabrication on the part of both the Norwiegen Police and the Courts.
These fail to take into account the admission by the witness (there was only one) that his statement had been forced by State/Police intimidation. Also not taken into account where the numerous threats made by the poser Øystein Aarseth against Varg (to this day nobody actually knows if Dead killed himself or was “suicided” by Aarseth). Various witnesses testified of these threats just to be ignored by the Judge, much like he ignored the retractions made to the original statements.
Enough said… You must be a christian so fogging the “truth” comes naturally to you people.
As for the album, which is at best mediocre, Mayhem had the “bad luck” of releasing it during a Black Metal explosion both in quantity and, above all, in quality (2014/15 probably the best years ever for the genre and 2016 is starting off just as strong).
So the album goes unnoticed as it should and only the name/myth Mayhem permits such a mediocre piece being released.
Mayhem were a “Once Upon A Time In Norway” fluke which has long lost its appeal.
As Dead/Varg/Aarseth went so did the band, all that remains is a corps of something once Epic… This, in many ways, is actually very fitting.
Cheers.
Mayhem are a bunch of fags. Black metal fags get no pussy LOL
possibly my favorite mayhem album
holy u just made me watch a full 30 sec commercial. u bastard!!!!!!
hails euronimois. RIP hails Death RIP. hails the new mayhem
Please review arctic leach
You say that “De Mysteriis Dom Santhanas” Was Mayhems debut album but it is not, Deathcrush is Mayhems first albums, De Mysteriis was the first and only studio album With Per “Dead” Ohlin on vocals, Great video though!! still very much enjoyed keep it up
Kill yourself.
Could you review any of Herder’s albums? I don’t know when their next release is, but I’d like to hear your thoughts on their music.

3:20 damn,you are almost as god as Cal Chuchesta
Great album!
This album was 11/10 burned churches, Fantano hates kvlt black metal.
a 7 so we know the older Metallica albums crush this album? what about Load, Reload, St anger and Lulu can these albums crush this album or just beat it out?
Ozzy with Randy Rhoads will smoke this album. Blizzard and Diary.
Black metal is terrible.
you should review carcass’ symphonies of sickness…fucking classic grindcore lp.
On this episode of Hitler reviews
Their last two albums are the best two they’ve put out. The production is a little thin and murky (especially murky on Ordo ad Chao) but I think that after a few listens, you realize that this is an essential element to the sound they are trying to create. That odd production quality makes these albums very unique in the black metal world, in my opinion.
My favorite Mayhem album!
euronymous was not murdered in cold-blood! Varg knew he was walking into an ambush! It was common knowledge that euronymous planned to kill varg…
Dead was a better vocalist than Atilla will ever be
Cock broom mustache.
I personally fucking love this album. Got to see Mayhem for the first time in 2015 on the first leg of the Black Metal Warfare Tour with Watain. Feel really lucky that my first Black Metal show got to be Mayhem 😀 (I only wish they’d played more than one song off Esoteric Warfare though)
There new guitarist Teloch fucking kills he did a great job balancing both the Euronymous and Blasphemer eras and styles while adding his own touch I give it a 8 out of 10
I don’t know why, but I seriously HATE this douche.
