Mayhem release new song ‘Everlasting Dying Flame’

MAYHEM have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Everlasting Dying Flame, is taken from the Norwegian black metal legend’s upcoming new EP, Atavistic Black Disorder / Kommando, which is scheduled to be released this Friday.

The upcoming EP features cover versions of bands like DISCHARGE, DEAD KENNEDYS, RUDIMENTARY PENI and RAMONES alongside a previously unreleased track called Voces Ab Alta, which continues the musical journey alongside Black Glass Communion and Everlasting Dying Flame, which were used as bonus tracks for the 2019 album Daemon. The band also recruited Billy Messiah and Maniac, who took over vocal performances on two songs.

“I always had some punk influences,” says vocalist Attila“I guess it comes from my childhood when we were constantly looking for more extreme music. That’s how I discovered DEAD KENNEDYSGBHTHE EXPLOITEDSEX PISTOLSU.K. SUBSDISCHARGERUDIMENTARY PENI and so on, in the early 80’s, alongside heavy metal. But then I discovered VENOM, that was a game changer!”

Bassist Necrobutcher adds, “we got some extra time in the studio recording the Daemon album two years ago, all band members were asked to punch in two cover tracks for some extra material. I chose songs by DEATHSTRIKE (The Truth) and DEATH (Evil Dead) which were both used as the bonus tracks on the album. My other contribution was to bring in two old members because of their obvious connection with punk: Maniac on the DEAD KENNEDYS track and Billy (Messiah) on the DISCHARGE track and some of the others.”

Atavistic Black Disorder / Kommando is set for release on July 9th via Century Media Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
