Mayhem - Live in Ski (LP)

Marking forty years since MAYHEM's debut live performance on 20 April 1985 at Follorocken, Rådhusteateret in Ski, Norway. Presented on limited oxblood coloured vinyl with side b etching.

Mayhem, the Norwegian pioneers responsible for invigorating a global metal scene alongside originators such as Venom, Celtic Frost & Bathory, formed in 1984, and with a long history of tragedy, intrigue and infamy has become a truly revered legend of black metal over the subsequent four decades. A large part of the band's lasting legacy was established in the late 80's & early 90's, when original members Euronymous (Guitar) & Necrobutcher (Bass) welcomed Hellhammer on drums and Dead on vocals, to help shape a new era of darkness, becoming highly influential leaders of the genre in the process; an accolade which has endured to this day. Revisiting the very earliest incarnation of the band and marking 40 years since Mayhem's cult debut performance, this special limited vinyl release made for Record Store Day features Mayhem's April 1985 gig in Ski, Norway, where the band carve their way through cover songs of classic Venom & Celtic Frost in this rare delight for fans.

This presentation of Live in Ski comes on limited oxblood coloured vinyl, featuring an etching on Side B.
