Mayhem
Dawn of the black hearts
[Warhammer]


Cover pic (taken after vocalist Dead blew out his brains) makes this automatically underground cult metal. The majority of this cd is from a 1990 Sarpsborg gig and is so raw, heavy, and evil you gotta love it. Dead, bassist Necrobutcher, drummer Hellhammer, and also deceased guitarist Euronymous (killed in self defense by "Count Grishnackh" /Varg Vikernes of Burzum, currently in prison, but still releasing albums) shred as fast, crazy and brutal as early Bathory! Total world at an end/ hell on earth , blazing trail of satanic hate. Underproduced to say the least, in fact most of you will say it sounds like shit , but this is a quadrillion times better than that clean Live in leipzig CD in my opinion.

deathcrush
necrolust
funeral fog
freezing moon
carnage
buried by time and dust
chainsaw gutsfuck
pure fucking armageddon

The last part are sloppy yet energetic covers of Celtic Frost and Venom taken from a 1985 show in Lillehammer with Maniac on vocals and Manheim on drums. The sound couldn't get any worse, could it? (Actually yes, and ChorazaiM can attest to this, as we had a band once that tried to be more horrible than Intense Mutilation!) This is still cool in my opinion, even if it is a wall of mud. Obviously, this unofficial release is only for diehard Mayhem and REAL black metal fans.

danse macabre (celtic frost)
black metal (venom)
procreation of the wicked (frost)
welcome to hell (venom)
