Mayhem reveal the first details of their new album “Liturgy of Death”

The most influential black metal band of all time is back with its seventh studio album, “Liturgy of Death”. With this new work, Mayhem reconfirms its status as the most uncompromising band in extreme metal music.
Four decades into their career, Mayhem turns its attention to the inescapable reality of death. “Liturgy of Death” examines loss, the fear of dying, powerlessness and the fragility of existence through a raw and relentless lens.

“Weep for Nothing“, Mayhem‘s new single, transforms the fear of mortality into revelation, a hymn to nothingness where pain becomes insignificant. With its cold and fast grandeur, razor-sharp riffs and suffocating atmosphere, the band channels the essence of mortality without offering comfort or escape. Watch the video at this link.
