Liturgy Of Death [CD]

Mayhem - Liturgy Of Death [CD]

With their new opus Liturgy of Death, MAYHEM reaffirm their status as the most uncompromising force in Norwegian Black Metal. After four decades of extremity, the band has reached a new apex of darkness: faster, fiercer, and more sinister than anything in their recent catalog. The album unfolds as a relentless meditation on death in all its manifestations - existential, spiritual, and absolute. From the furious chaos of ''Despair'' and ''Funeral of Existence'' to the bleak grandeur of ''Ephemeral Eternity'' and ''Aeon's End'', each track drags the listener deeper into a ritual of misery and transcendence. ''Propitious Death'' and ''The Sentence of Absolution intertwine brutality with ominous atmosphere, while ''Life Is a Corpse You Drag'' and ''Sancta Mendacia'' leave no doubt that Mayhem remain unmatched in channeling despair into sound. 

With Necrobutcher, Hellhammer, Attila, Teloch, and Ghul locked into a unit tighter than ever, Liturgy of Death presents a band not content to rest on legacy but determined to push the boundaries of extremity itself. The result is a merciless record - dark, fast, and unrelenting - that captures Mayhem in their most dangerous and vital form. Forty years since their birth in Langhus, MAYHEM continue to embody chaos, proving once more that Norwegian Black Metal is a force without end.
