MAYHEM recently annonced that the band will be performing the legendary [and Cult!] "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" in full as Temples Festival headliners. The band will perform a special show based around their classic album on Friday 3rd June 2016 at Bristol's Motion venue.
Along with the official trailer that
the band has released specially for this event, Vocalist Attila Csihar adds the following comments...
The first time I heard from Mayhem
was in '91-'92 when I received a letter from Euronymous. I did not know
that letter was gonna change my whole life...
They were looking for a new vocalist
for their debut record to replace Dead, who had passed away.
Of course I said yes to their offer and in 1993
we recorded the album called 'De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas'- one of the most
magical recordings of all time.
The music opened some altered dimensions that we
were simply not able to handle anymore and it unleashed a complete Chaos, which
ended up at burning churches and eventually a murder within the band.
It was almost impossible to release
that record but finally when it came out under the Sun in '94, it made a strong
impact on the whole Heavy Metal scene... The so-called "2nd Wave of Black
Metal" born in the cold and dark underground of Oslo.
At the same time Mayhem collapsed and got burned
down as well. From those ashes the band had to rise once again, when they
reunited Mayhem with some old and new members. But that album was always so
strong and so unique that even after my reunion with Mayhem in 2004, we were
still not comfortable to present it live as a whole thing.
Time passed and the whole band got stronger and
more experienced. So now in 2016 suddenly we felt it was the time to play that
whole record finally, to release That Beast after more than two decades. So 'De
Mysteriis Dom Sathans' finally becomes Alive!
