Episode 179: Mayhem Every Album Ever with Mike & Alex

This week we’re discussing every album by the infamous Mayhem. While they are known for pioneering modern black metal in Norway, most people know them because of their horrific, bloody, and disturbing history. Seriously, if you’re unfamiliar, grab some popcorn before you listen. Formed and led by Euronymous (Øystein Aarseth) until his murder by then bassist Varg Vikernes (of Burzum) in 1993, Mayhem continues to put out great albums with various lineups. However, they are held down by longtime drummer Hellhammer and bassist Necrobutcher. This band’s music is as intense as their reputation, so get ready.

Closing track: “Cursed in Eternity” from De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (1994)
