Oystein Aarseth  aka  "Euronymous"                    "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas"   1993


Hey Sinner Rider......Mayhem was created by Oystein Aarseth in 1986 with Mayhem's demo "Pure Fucking Armageddon"....then thier debut LP 1987 "Death Crush"....

But they played a black/death/thrash metal kinda style....but when vocalist "Dead" joined the band in 1988....they moved into the realm of "black metal"....................

And around 1989...they had written almost all of the songs that would be later found on the "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" album released in 1994...............

In 1991 vocalist "Dead" shot and killed himself....and never got to record his vocals for the album...."Attila" from Hungary band "Tormentor" did the vocals

and in 93' Aarseth was murdered by Varg Vikerness of Burzum.   So any Mayhem albums after De Mysteriis is not "real" Mayhem in my opinion.

But this album even though it was not released to the public yet...had a HUGE influence on the other black metal bands in the scene because all of 

those bands got to listen to those tracks while they were being recorded and Mayhem had demo tapes with other raw versions of it..........

Aarseth was very slow at recording material and its a shame that he is dead...He is the Godfather of modern day black metal.........

Venom is the Godfather of ALL black metal.....bands of the 1980's like Venom,Bathory,Hellhamer,Mercyful Fate....were the black metal

veterans....but Mayhem took the torch and continued black metal but with thier own stamp on it..."Norwegian" black metal......

De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is the BEST black metal album of all time (in the realm of the second wave of black metal)
I wouldn't recomend listening to any Mayhem albums except this one......this album is a must have situation for all black metal fans!!
