Mayhem announce new live album ‘Daemonic Rites’
MAYHEM have announced a new live album!
Titled Daemonic Rites, the upcoming live album from the iconic Norwegian black metal band intends to showcase their chaotic and intense performances from various cities around the world over the last two years, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Century Media Records.
The new live album marks the culmination of the Daemon era, which commenced in 2019 with the release of their critically acclaimed studio album, Daemon. The journey continued with the savage EP Atavistic Black Disorder in 2021.
Alongside the announcement of the new live album, the band have released a new live music video for a song lifted from the upcoming album; Malum. The live video was filmed during the band’s March 2022 concert in New York City in collaboration with renowned director Zev Deans.
“We wanted to document how great the band and set sounds like after almost 40 years of playing live,” explains bassist Necrobutcher. “As a treat to our fans, we decided to release this live recording. I knew from day one back in 1984 that this band was going to be outstanding – one of the best bands ever! I guess that’s a big reason why we still are here after 39 years – and counting.”
