The classic Mayhem line-up performing their legendary black metal tracks in Jessheim, Norway, 1990 – presented on black vinyl. Concluding Peaceville’s series of the legendary line-up’s four recorded live shows from 1990 comes ‘Live In Jessheim’.
Featuring the line-up of Euronymous, Dead, Hellhammer & Necrobutcher, this is one of only a handful of recordings featuring the Norwegian black metal quartet in arguably their most influential period, as they forged a sound & darkness entirely of their own, before going on to almost inspire a whole scene single-handedly across a generation. Features such classic tracks as ‘Funeral Fog’, ‘Freezing Moon’, & ‘Deathcrush’ in a set of pure chaos & rawness.
This edition of ‘Live In Jessheim’ features audio taken from a new source. Mayhem are one of the undeniable leaders of the black metal genre & an inspiration for many black metal bands worldwide today, having existed for over 35 years, with an often dark & tragic history giving them unrivalled infamy. This is one of very few releases to feature this line-up, as vocalist Dead committed suicide the year after the shows & guitarist Euronymous was killed in 1993.
