Oslo, Norway-based black metal band Mayhem issued sixth full-length studio album Daemon<\/em> digitally on October 25th, 2019 and in all physical formats on November 8th through Century Media Records.<\/p>\n

Guitarist Teloch commented: \u201cMayhem will always be Mayhem. If we put the genre game aside a bit, no one else sounds like Mayhem. Even when De Mysteriis…<\/em> [1994] came out, it was not at first considered to be a black metal album, if my memory serves me right. Tricky to label this band. Metal would be the most fitting; it\u2019s not pure black metal, in my opinion. Not sure it has ever been actually, despite what the general opinion is. People can call it whatever they want. If it\u2019s black metal to them, then fine. We don\u2019t really care. To me, it\u2019s important to keep some sort of black metal vibe at least.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this album will be most pleasing for old and new fans. As most of our devoted fans know, Mayhem has never released two albums that sound the same. That\u2019s the case this time around as well. As I said, we simplified stuff, but at the same time tried out some new stuff to keep it interesting for ourselves and, also for our fans that dig that we are doing something new on each album.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayhem entered NBS Audio Studio (aka Necromorbus Studio) in S\u00f6derfors, Sweden to record drums and vocals with producer \/ engineer Tore Stjerna. Newly consecrated Studio A (Stjerna\u2019s Stockholm studio will continue to operate as Studio B) in an old church, Hellhammer and Csihar recorded their respective parts for Daemon<\/em>. The band then had Ghul record his guitars in the Netherlands, while the bass was engineered by Teloch and performed by Necrobutcher at Lupercal Studio in Oslo, Norway. Teloch took his guitar tracking to SleikBallaMi Studio, also in Oslo. Daemon<\/em> was then brought back to Stjerna for mixing and sent off to Thomas Johansson at The Panic Room for mastering. The whole affair took about three months to nail down.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was created by Italian designer Daniele Valeriani.<\/p>\n
