MAYHEM IN CONCERT:

When it comes to macabre black metal spectacle, few bands hold a candle to legendary Norwegian group Mayhem. From their savage sound to their necrophilic stage design, these guys deliver one heck of a blood-curdling show, and their commitment to spectacle extends right down to their names -- frontman Attila issues his brutal screams from behind a veil of matted hair and costume blood as drummer Hellhammer and bassist Necrobutcher whip fans into a frenzy with breakneck tempos. Rounding out the scene are Teloch and Morfeus, two formidable guitar gods whose blistering riffs drive brutal cuts like "My Death" and "Freezing Moon" home. Mayhem has stayed true to their name for more than two decades with maniacal performances on tour, and ticket buyers lucky enough to attend one of their upcoming shows can expect them to deliver their sets in top form.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Pioneering black metal band Mayhem was formed in Norway in 1984 by bassist Jorn Stubberud (Necrobutcher) and guitarist Oystein Aarseth (Euronymous). The band's early days were characterized by a constantly rotating lineup that included lead vocalist Maniac, who appeared on Mayhem's 1987 debut album Deathcrush, and legendary frontman Dead, who headed the band from 1988-1991. Dead's obsession with death played a huge role in the development of the band's morbid themes and visual style, but his preoccupation with darkness ultimately led to his demise -- in 1991 he killed himself in a house owned and occupied by the band. The tragedy didn't end there -- bassist Necrobutcher left the band due to his grief over the suicide, and in 1993 his replacement Varg Vikernes murdered founding guitarist Euronymous over a contract dispute. In the wake of the murder Mayhem ceased to exist for much of 1994, but the following year Hellhammer and Necrobutcher got the group back together with former lead singer Maniac at the helm. The group preleased two albums under that configuration -- 2000's Grand Declaration of War and 2004's Chimera -- before Maniac was replaced with current lead vocalist Attila Csihar in 2007.Since then the group has remained true to their black metal sound and iconic image, releasing two critically acclaimed albums and delivering uncompromisingly brutal shows to devoted fans around the world.

    My neck hurts

    by Charmz on 3/23/22The Underground - Charlotte

    Would have been nice to see waitan as well but midnight and mayhem killed it. Was supposed to see them 2 years ago but it got canceled due to Covid. Much awaited and they didn’t let me down. Mayhem is one of the most notorious metal bands in the world and glad I finally got to see them after all these years.

    Midnight and Mayhem

    by FranklinKevin on 3/21/22The Masquerade - Heaven - Atlanta

    This was my 2nd time seeing Midnight and 1st time seeing Mayhem live and both bands were excellent! The sound, stage presence and production of both bands sets were superb. Amazing skill playing, crisp vocals, and set design were on full display. Lots of crowd interaction and a great selection of merchandise. Bathrooms were easy to access and drink prices were fair. Definitely go see both of these bands if they are coming to a town nearby.

    Live sound engineering

    by EC on 3/11/22The Wiltern - Los Angeles

    A shame Watain wasn’t able to be there. But Midnight and Mayhem were amazing performers. However, the live sound engineering could have been better dialed in. The vocals were at times too loud and overpowered the guitars and bass. Drums were consistently fine. And when vocals were on break, guitars needed better leveling. At the very start of the Mayhem set the guitars were way too low to hear anything.

    MAYHEM

    by JB on 3/11/22The Wiltern - Los Angeles

    I loved the show. My first time seeing them live. I have watched several you tube videos with them and lots of commentary mentions the theatrics. I guess i was expecting for more theatrics . But the music was great and glad i went.

    You HAVE To See Mayhem!

    by GuitarSlayer1307 on 2/18/17Howard Theatre - Washington

    The theatrics of Mayhem were absolutely breathtaking. The energy was through the roof. As a Metal Fan, Mayhem is definitely a must see act. Attila the vocalist is a true showman, and the cameo of Dead (late vocalist of Mayhem) really brought the concert together. The songs were all fun to bang your head to. As far as concerts go, this was a perfect concert. Don't go to Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kanye West, or other pop acts, if you want to hear REAL Music, go to a Mayhem concert and buy their CDs.

    Mayhem delivered. Such a raw and unwavering affair full of mystery and brutality. These guys started it all and still got it. Check them out if they roll through your town. You will not be disappointed!

    Watain

    by Constablebob on 12/2/15Masquerade - Atlanta

    There was only one portion of the concert that I disliked. And dislike is a weak word for the hatred I feel for this moment. The opening act. Tomb. This "band" was the worse nonsense I have ever heard. They are so terrible I considered leaving right then, who cares about the 6 hour drive to get there and the price of tickets. The only thing that kept me going was the fact that Rotting Christ and Watain were next. Rotting Christ was phenomenal. 5/5 would go see again. Watain...this was my 4th time and I will be going back for more. Mayhem can go home. All we need is Watain. Even after the opening crap Watain made the entire experience worth while.

    Great show but bring out the pig heads next time

    by Mansilla on 11/30/15Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    I attended both the philly and Brooklyn show and loved both. Really wish Beookyln allowed the pig heads like the Philly show did. Overall Mayhem, Watain, and Rottingn Christ played amazing sets. I'm glad watain and mayhem returened to New York. I'm ready for Black Metal Warfare pt3 lol.

    Black Metal Proves Satan is Harsh and Powerful

    by Chaosfire on 11/27/15Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    Except for the venue's unyielding, law-abiding pussiness that prevented Watain from using animal carcasses (although blood was okay) the show was untamed and wild. Each band played to their fullest ability. My only complaint was the one time during Rotting Christ's set was the snare drum mic fell off and caused 2 minutes of feedback. Good job sound tech! Hope it wasn't Tore. Another thing, the venue's lack of space between the audience and the stage proved bad for crowd surfers who got faces full of fists or a mic stand. End of note, this is not a hardcore or thrash show. Go home or just mosh out that energy.

    Black metal personified!!!!!!

    by Jughead74 on 11/25/15Saint Andrews Hall - Detroit

    All 3 bands were AWESOME(first time seeing Rotting Christ, 2nd for Mayhem and 3rd for Watain) and each band did their thing, without it become overkill. Blood, severed pigs' heads, candles,etc..... A great time was had by myself and my friends in attendance.

    Mayhem are legends

    by Ozil on 1/14/15Royale Boston - Boston

    Really energetic show. Revenge was surprisingly good. Mayhem rocked the house; they were downright evil and brutal. Couldn't stay for Watain; blame the MBTA. Good crowd, good atmosphere, great music.
