Mayhem has “almost 20 songs” ready for their next album

Bassist Jørn “Necrobutcher” Stubberud of Norwegian black metallers Mayhem was asked if fans might anticipate new music from him and his colleagues in 2025 in a recent interview with the “Everblack” podcast.

Yes, you can. Teloch and Charles have presented some demos — both of them presented over 10 songs or 10 skeletons — so [they have] presented almost 20 songs. And I listened to everything, and some of it is really fucking good. So, after the Australian tour, I guess — no, some of us [are] gonna go on some tours with some other bands. But in March [2025], I think, we’re gonna get together and start to hammer out this thing. By 2025 we should have been able to enter the studio. And then, hopefully, it would be cool to have it out in 2025. That would be a goal, but we’ll see. But definitely 2026. And then, of course, we’ll be heading out [on] a new world tour to promote it, I guess.

“Daemon”—Mayhem‘s sixth studio album—was released by Century Media in October 2019. In September 2023, the live album “Daemonic Rites” was released.
