When discussing the legacy of Mayhem, most people agree that Dead and Euronymous were the heart and soul of the band and with the death of both of them the story of the band ended. But you gotta remember Necrobutcher is the only living member to witness the band's full rise and fall, he was there along with Euro even before Dead joined, and has memories of it all - a band which evolved from a teenage dream into the darkest and most ill-fated act in the history of metal. And don't forget it was fucking Hellhammer who made the final decision to release DMDS in it's final form, probably the only metal album to feature both a predator and his victim on its tracks. Now that's what I call dedication to the band's image. I think both Necro and Hellhammer have done great job to fulfill the band's legacy, and you gotta respect them as legit Mayhem members even though it will never be the same band anymore.
Hellhammer been there from the beginning and Necrobutcher also been there most of the time, but we gotta give credit to Maniac And Atilla, to me They're also one of the original members along side dead and Euro
hellhammer's makeup was on point jus sayin. srsly tho i've never been a big fan of him as a person but i respect him for keeping the band alive. not to mention his drumming skills
I went to Øystein's Helvete store in early 90's.. i probably looked like a poser then... most awesome guy (Øystein) helping me find records in the store...I said i liked Godflesh and he went straight for an album of Swans... Øystein is from my home town actually.. Cheers..
@@BatteryAcidEater Well, Dead should have respect. But Euronymous shouldn't in my opinion because he encouraged Dead to die instead of helping him with his problem.
And throughout the 80's and early 90's they only released some demo stuff. While they influenced other great bands which meanwhile released their albums, Mayhem waited until their 'stars' where dead and then released their first real album... All their glory took place before they actually started to be professionals...
i think that if they broke up after putting out the deathcrush ep than they would certainly be one of those legendary bands like dystopia or man is the bastard
Actually, the guy in that photo at 2:44 is not Attila, it's Zsolt Machát, the drummer of his band Tormentor. He's actually the second guy from the left in the same picture (It's the cover of Tormentor's first demo called "Seventh day of Doom") He said it in a hungarian interview
@@redstone-kg3ne Honestly when I heard the freezing moon demo deathcrush version with dead and dawn with the black hearts are fucking great. It's a shame he committed suicide we lost a lot of great potential. I was at the show in Jessheim in 1990 about 19 years old it was me and my uncle and Dead really got crowds going with his energy it was fucking wild.
@@AleYanok Hey, I have a request. Once you finish all these videos, can you make a video about Neil Peart (Rush drummer), in a few weeks it is gonna turn 1 year since he passed away (January 7, 2020; one of the first musicians who died in this chaotic year). I won't hurry you to do it.
my favorite vocalists of mayhem: 1. Dead man his voice sounds so distorted and like it came from a grave love it! 2. Maniac man he’s the same level as dead just great maybe maniac will be my num 1 one day 3. Messiah he’s pretty good but almost barely hear em 4. Kittil kittilsen he’s pretty hot but almost barely never heard his scream
I think their later stuff is probably so overlooked. I mean, it may not be the Dead Era or Trve Black Metal, but you gotta admit, the music sounds pretty good.
lol, those bands had no influence on what Black Metal is today. The term was coined by the Norwegians and the genre was developed by international bands who were inspired by the Norwegians. 2nd wave=1st wave, not Bathory and Tormentor, they're just random inspirations
The truth is black metal couldn’t exist without outrageous gimmicks. Black Metal bands need this because they feed, prey and rely on teenage curiosities. That’s what it is all about. Musically, they are composed of lame musicians, only playing basic chords progressions with loud distortions.
First of all, black metal was never about "musicianship" and your "truth" is just an empty opinion based on zero understanding of this particular form of art. I've listened to black metal for 25 years, and while the shallow media sensationalism of the genre initially may awake "teenage curiosity", it goes way deeper than that when you scratch beneath the surface of regurgitated tales of the small black metal environment in late 80's/early 90's Norway. You'll find spirituality, independence and a great connection to nature, far away from this modern western consumerist society made up of a numb and dumb herd of sheep. On a strictly musical level, black metal has come to be the most diverse subgenre in metal. No other metal genre can use so many different production techniques and incorporate elements from so many other various forms of music and make it work, if done right. The basic fundamentals in black metal has allowed for experimentation way beyond what any other genre is capable of. It's clear that you've only heard a couple of bands from the early 90's and then wrote the whole genre off based on that.
Когда дэд вошёл в группу она эволюционировала, Но когда он ушёл она стала деградировать. Немогу поверить что такая великая группа превратилась в ничтожество. Это печально...
@@WhoisVinnie it doesn't matter! It's pretty disrespectful to continue on...especially when they continuously replace members. It completely breaks an important rule in the music business!
Idk how known was Black Metal back in the day, let aside since Metal alone as a genre was kind of underground even then, so I guess that Mayhem would be like the face of it back in the 90's...
I heard that to even get information of the genre or even the sound, you needed to be in the scene or have connections to people in the scene/who know something about it
So is Mayhem an eternal band at this point?? Thats disturbing to me, this band is somewhat of an actual zombie. I personally have a rock hard, hard-on for modern-Mayhem, imo Chimera, Ordo Ad Chaos and Daemon are extremely good, so i hope we get more Mayhem albums for another 500 years LMFAO. LONG LIVE THE IMMORTAL MAYHEM 🤘🤘🤘🤘
In guitar hero when I would see Lars I would think of the band kiss but I realize that Lars originally had blonde hair so then that leads me to believe it's Euronymous 😁
No offense, but please tell me what was so special about 'dead'? Why do so many people worship him? He was just a depressive sick person with average vocal skills...or am I wrong?
These guys define try hard. How can you live a life always having to be the baddest, darkest MF in the room. I feel like eventually someone would rip a fart and the facade would have to melt away, and in that moment youd think they'd be like, "Damn it feels good to laugh, and not be so hardcore all the time." Or were they like, "No! We dont fart! You have to go drain 30 chickens and drink every last drop! No excuses!" I'm done.
That’s the whole black metal stigma. It’s just a toxic amount of elitism, hate, supremacy and teenage edgelord mentality for not that much of a payout, and countless of like minded bands to clone each other.
