Mayhem Announce New Album Daemon For October Release

Black metal progenitors Mayhem have been teasing a new album as of late and now they have officially announced their new black metal sermon, Daemon set for release on October 25th.

There will be a single coming quite soon according to the band.

They released a statement on their facebook about the album:

“Daemon” isn’t a direct follow-up to “Esoteric Warfare”. Like all Mayhem albums of their time, “Daemon” is unto itself. The wolf solitary and singular. Indeed, “Daemon” also isn’t a new chapter in our storied career. Rather, it’s a new tome, authoritative yet wild in character. Composed and decomposed with the same lineup – Necrobutcher (bass), Hellhammer (drums), Attila (vocals), Teloch (guitars), and Ghul (guitars) – that handled “Esoteric Warfare” and performed “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas” in its entirety over the last few years, “Daemon” isn’t a retrofit of classic songs like “Freezing Moon,” “Pagan Fears,” or “Buried by Time and Dust” either. That’s what the live album, “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Alive” (2016), was for. “Daemon” is change, an opportunity for the maw of hell to open wide.

So yeah, that sounds metal as fuck.  Check out the album artwork from Daniele Valeriani and the tracklist below.
