Liturgy Of Death presents another chapter in the extraordinary legacy of Norwegian black metal pioneers Mayhem, one of the most influential and controversial bands in the history of extreme music.

Originally associated with the formative Norwegian black metal movement, Mayhem helped establish many of the musical and aesthetic characteristics that would define the genre internationally. Their uncompromising approach, cold atmosphere and extreme intensity have influenced generations of black metal musicians, making Mayhem an essential name for serious collectors of extreme metal.

This limited edition 2026 CD Mediabook from Century Media Records offers a premium collector presentation, featuring a 28-page booklet, alternative artwork slipcase and bonus track. The combination of expanded packaging and additional content makes this edition particularly appealing to dedicated Mayhem fans and collectors looking for something beyond a standard jewel-case release.

The band's seventh studio full-length album, Liturgy Of Death captures the stark, uncompromising character associated with Mayhem and the darker traditions of Norwegian black metal. The band's music has always been defined by an atmosphere of menace, aggression and bleakness, with raw guitar work, intense drumming and distinctive vocals creating a sound that remains instantly recognisable.

Mayhem are fundamental to the history of Norwegian black metal and the wider extreme metal movement. From their formative underground years through their continuing evolution, the band have maintained an uncompromising identity that has made them essential listening for generations of black metal fans.

For collectors, Mayhem's importance extends far beyond individual albums. The band's history is deeply intertwined with the development of the Norwegian black metal underground and its subsequent international influence. Alongside fellow pioneers such as Darkthrone, Emperor, Immortal and Gorgoroth, Mayhem occupy a central position in the story of second-wave black metal.
