Mayhem announce new boxset ‘Cursed In Eternity’

MAYHEM have announced a new special boxset!

Set for release in November, the upcoming boxset celebrates the 30 year anniversary of the Norwgian black metal icon’s most infamous period; the late 80s & early 90s, when guitarist Euronymous & bassist Necrobutcher welcomed Hellhammer on drums and Dead on vocals.

The upcoming boxset features MAYHEM‘s legendary 1990 live dates in Norway and short German tour, plus the additions of the Out from the Dark and Henhouse rehearsal sessions. These six titles are all presented on a special limited picture disc format for this release, with the set also including a 7” single vinyl containing two studio tracks (Freezing Moon & Carnage); recorded initially for the CBR compilation, Projections of a Stained Mind and here featuring sleeve artwork made at the time by former vocalist, Maniac.

Along with a full 92-page book recalling tales of their legendary shows & inspirational music from both band members and others from the scene & including letters and previously unseen photographs sourced from personal archives, all in collaboration with the True Mayhem Collection, Cursed in Eternity also features, for the first time, a DVD containing never-seen-before footage from the entire Jessheim concert, plus front of stage video from the Sarpsborg show. The DVD is completed by full footage of the Henhouse rehearsals, and as a final bonus inclusion, the boxset features posters from the original designs & Zeitz photo from those live shows.

Speaking about the boxset, Necrobutcher and Hellhammer say, “we are glad to be able to honour the Euronymous & Dead era in this comprehensive box set that Peaceville and Finn Håkon Rødland put together for the band.”
