THE OFFICIAL RELEASE OF MAYHEM'S 1990 APPEARANCE IN SARPSBORG, FEATURING DEAD, EURONYMOUS, NECROBUTCHER & HELLHAMMER.
INCLUDES BOOKLET WITH INTERVIEWS & RARE IMAGES.
Norway's Mayhem are a band renowned for being the forefathers of the Norwegian black metal moment & one of the most important bands of the genre. Formed in the mid 1980's, Mayhem has often made the headlines due to their bloody & dark history, but also due to their pioneering style which has inspired a whole generation & continues to do so.
'Live In Sarpsborg' now receives its debut official CD release on Peaceville, with new audio captured from a master source. The show, originally performed on 28th February 1990 was one of only a handful to feature the now legendary lineup of Dead, Euronymous, Hellhammer & Necrobutcher, & this particular Norwegian show was organised by Jon 'Metalion' Kristiansen of Slayer Mag fame, under the moniker of 'Slayer Aid'.
Perfectly demonstrating the pure raw essence of Mayhem, the band surge through some of their early classics, from the 'Deathcrush' release to tracks which would later feature on their highly revered debut, 'De Mysteriis Dom. Sathanas'.
This edition of 'Live In Sarpsborg' includes a booklet featuring rare & unseen band photos, plus extensive thoughts & recollections from Metalion & others associated with the event.
