Description

Rare original Avantgarde Music release

This live album was recorded at a performance at the Rainbow Club in Milan, Italy in November 1998 by the masters of black metal; Mayhem. The line-up features original Mayhem vocalist Maniac, plus Hellhammer on drums, Necrobutcher on bass and Blasphemer on guitar. The show also features a guest appearance by now-current Mayhem vocalist Attila Csihar on the track ‘From the Dark Past’. Mayhem formed in Oslo, Norway, in 1984 and are infamous as one of the early Scandinavian purveyors of black metal, made even more legendary after the well-documented murder of original Mayhem guitarist Euronymous in 1993. With a crystal clear sound and the noticeably stunning drum work of Hellhammer (currently also sticksman for Dimmu Borgir), the band themselves considered this worthy of being labelled an official release, as Mayhem storm through a strong set full of classics from old releases ‘Deathcrush’ and ‘De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas’, to the post-Euronymous compositions as featured on ‘Wolf’s Lair Abyss’. Expect nothing but dark and chaotic black metal carnage.
