Hear Mayhem's Incendiary New Song "Worthless Abominations Destroyed"

Norwegian black-metal pioneers drop lead single off forthcoming LP 'Daemon'

Notorious Norwegian black-metal miscreants Mayhem are back with a new single taken from their newly announced LP Daemon, and it's a furious ripper in the chilly vein of their beloved second-wave style full of hellish bellowing, razorwire riffs and pummeling blast beats that conjure up the power of Satan himself to wage war on the pantheon of manmade gods. 

"After teasing you guys for over six months, it's finally time to show you what we have been up to in the studio this summer," explains guitarist Teloch. "Here's 'Worthless Abominations Destroyed,' a track that was made with the intention to have this 'all is lost and hopeless' feeling."

Dense and murky, the song confirms Mayhem's continued dedication to upholding the evil spirit of Scandinavian black metal. That spirit is embodied aesthetically in the forthcoming album's packaging — several variants are up for pre-order at this location — which includes a limited deluxe two-LP and CD box set that looks more like an occult spellbook than something to be spun on a record player. 

If you'll be in Europe this fall, you can catch the band when they hit the road with support from Gost and Gaahls Wyrd. See the routing below.
