Norwegian black metal icons Mayhem are celebrating the release of their 1994 landmark “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas” full-length with tours across the globe.
This coming January, the band will march their way across North America performing the record in its monumental entirety.
In conjunction with their many live appearances, Mayhem will also release “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Alive” on December 15th, 2016.
The album was captured live in Norrköping, Sweden last year during the band’s headlining set at the Black Christmass Festival. The show marked Mayehm’s first time ever playing “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas” in full.
Notes the band of first single “From the Dark Past”: “"From the Dark Past" has not been played many times live before, yet is in many ways an archetypical song from the band, containing key elements that are scattered throughout the rest of the album – blizzard blast beats and eerie atmospherics, all of course adorned by vocalist Attila Csihar’s unique voice within the genre. "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" is widely considered one of the most influential black metal albums of all time, and this is the first time in history this classic album from 1994 is performed live in its entirety”.

The celebratory release will come available on CD, LP, and DVD (the first 1000 copies are numbered) as well as digitally on December 15th, 2016.

Regarding both tours, Mayhem vocalist Attila Csihar comments: “The first time I ever heard from Mayhem was in '91-'92 when I received a letter from Euronymous. I did not know that message was going to change my whole life. They were looking for a new vocalist to replace Dead on their debut album. Of course, I agreed to their offer and in 1993 we recorded "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas", which to me remains one of the most magical albums of all time. The music opened some unfathomable dimensions that reached beyond what we were able to handle 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 when it finally came out under the sun in '94, it left a lasting impact on the whole metal scene. The so-called "2nd wave of black metal" was 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 again, when Mayhem reunited with some old and new members. Yet that album always remained so strong and so unique that even after my reunion with Mayhem in 2004, we were still not comfortable to present it live in full. Time passed and the whole band got stronger and more experienced. In 2016 we suddenly felt that it was time to finally play the whole record in order to unleash That Beast after more than two decades. "De Mysteriis Dom Sathans" will soon become alive!”...
