SPECIAL RECORD STORE DAY RELEASE MARKING FORTY YEARS SINCE MAYHEM'S DEBUT LIVE PERFORMANCE IN SKI, NORWAY

PRESENTED ON LIMITED COLOURED VINYL WITH SIDE B ETCHING. Mayhem, the Norwegian pioneers responsible for invigorating a global metal scene alongside originators such as Venom, Celtic Frost & Bathory, formed in 1984 & with a long history of tragedy, intrigue & infamy has become a truly revered legend of black metal over the subsequent four decades

A large part of the band's lasting legacy was established in the late 80's & early 90's, when original members Euronymous (Guitar) & Necrobutcher (Bass) welcomed Hellhammer on drums & Dead on vocals, to help shape a new era of darkness, becoming highly influential leaders of the genre in the process; an accolade which has endured to this day. Revisiting the very earliest incarnation of the band & marking 40 years since Mayhem's cult debut performance, this special limited Record Store Day vinyl release features Mayhem's April 1985 gig in Ski, Norway, where the band carve their way through cover songs of classic Venom & Celtic Frost in this rare delight for fans.
