The world’s most evil, infamous and important black metal band summons up the highly anticipated “Ordo Ad Chao” (translation: Order from Chaos).
Featuring the return of vocalist Attila Csihar, who appeared on the band’s pivotal album “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas”, this album will serve to strengthen the band’s legacy as they emerge more vicious and vital then ever.
The weak bands currently plaguing the Black Metal scene are sure to be exposed and exterminated as “Ordo Ad Chao” not only crowns 2007’s “Best of” lists but the “Best of All Time” lists as well.

Black 12" double vinyl, cut at 45RPM for optimum fidelity, in sturdy printed innersleeves in gatefold sleeve.
Ninth pressing: 450 copies worldwide.

It has been seven long years since MAYHEM released their fourth and latest full-length ‘Ordo ad Chao’.
Rejuvenated by the recruitment of Teloch (of NIDINGR fame) in replacement of iconic guitarist / composer Blasphemer who left the fold in 2008, the spearhead of Black Metal is back stronger than ever before with a new album.
‘Esoteric Warfare’ demonstrates how perfectly Teloch has captured the essence and spirit of the Norwegian legend by linking the band back to its roots, while at the same time taking a step forward into the leading position of the genre instead of dwelling in nostalgia. ‘Esoteric Warfare’ is a full-scale assault of total dark savagery, where Attila's inhumane vocals are entirely based on a concept dealing with the esoteric experimentations of the nuclear powers during the cold war.
The album proves once again and beyond doubt that MAYHEM are the Alpha and the Omega of black metal!

For fans of DARKTHRONE, GORGOROTH, IMMORTAL, WATAIN, 1349, MARDUK.

CD edition of Live in Zeitz, which features the classic line-up of Euronymous, Dead, Necrobutcher and Hellhammer performing iconic tracks on their now-legendary 1990 tour.

Taken from a new and improved audio source, this definitive edition of Live in Zeitz presents the chaotic sound and dark atmosphere of the show with a greater level of clarity, while maintaining the rawness of Mayhem's live attack.

The CD includes a booklet containing new interviews with band members, friends and close associates of the band, plus previously unseen images.

Live in Jessheim concludes Peaceville’s series of the legendary band's four recorded shows. Featuring the line-up of Euronymous, Dead, Hellhammer and Necrobutcher, this is one of only a handful of recordings featuring the Norwegian Black Metal quartet during arguably their most influential period, as they forged a truly unique sound (prior to going on to almost single-handedly inspire a whole scene).

This edition also included an extra dvd featuring the rare and previously unsee video footage of the show

‘Out from the Dark’ features a rare & ferocious rehearsal from the Mayhem archive which was recorded back in 1989 and is a chance to hear tracks from the quartet’s early years in all their raw and brutal glory, including classics such as ‘Freezing Moon’, ‘Funeral Fog’ & ‘Deathcrush’. The band would embark upon a serious of live shows in Norway and Germany the following year which would eventually go down in black metal legend, with those recordings also now immortalised. 

Now reissued also on CD 

The first official release of Mayhem’s 1990 appearance in Sarpsborg, featuring Dead, Euronymous, Necrobutcher and Hellhammer.

This edition includes a booklet featuring rare and unseen band photos (plus extensive thoughts and recollections from Metalion and others associated with the event), plus a DVD featuring very rare footage of the show itself from close to the stage. Perfectly demonstrating the pure raw essence of Mayhem, the band surge through some  early classics from the Deathcrush release to tracks which would later feature on the band’s revered debut, De Mysteriis Dom. Sathanas. 

The infamous MAYHEM return this year with an EP called “Atavistic Black Disorder / Kommando” that presents the band in a way that has never been heared before! The lords of darkness have dug deep and reflected their influences to create a musical odyssey that shows them multifaceted in several ways. For this goal, cover versions of bands like Discharge, Dead Kennedys, Rudimentary Peni and Ramones were chosen, which in typical MAYHEM manner impressively fit into their bursting and darkenened sound. Nevertheless, MAYHEM would not be MAYHEM, if this musical creation would do without own composed songs. In addition to named cover versions, a brand new track called “Voces Ab Alta” was recorded to continue the musical journey alongside previously released tracks “Black Glass Communion” and “Everlasting Dying Flame”, which were used as bonus tracks for the 2019 album “Daemon”. The EP comes as a 180g LP format which features a two-sided cover artwork and two-page insert, as well as a Ltd. CD Digipak with sleeve and 12-page booklet.

CD in deluxe Digipak with 20-page booklet.

While the songs would eventually appear on ‘De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas’, 'Life Eternal’ reveals how MAYHEM’s first full-length album became a foundational pillar for black metal.
These five rough mixes were recorded with original guitarist Øystein “Euronymous” Aarseth. Attila Csihar toils with different vocal takes, especially on “Pagan Fears”, which somehow sounds even more wicked than the final version. And while it was ultimately left on the cutting room floor, the pummeling drum flurry that opens this cut of “Funeral Fog” is vintage Hellhammer.
‘Life Eternal’ is a wild artifact from the most insane black metal band of all time.

For fans of DARKTHRONE, GORGOROTH, IMMORTAL, WATAIN, 1349
