MAYHEM - WOLF'S LAIR ABYSS - MISANTHROPY
Misanthropy Records: It is a source of amusement and wonder to see this
release on the same label as Burzum. Count Grishnackh of Burzum being
the murderer of Euronymous of Mayhem, one can easily see Euronymous'
corpse turn in its grave. Burzum being Misanthropy's bread and butter
it is not difficult to note that dividend from Burzum's sales is going
into Mayhem's comeback and promotion. It reminds me of the time six
years ago when Grischnackh mailed me a Mayhem T-shirt as a gift. The
Mayhem biography omits the above-mentioned connections.
The new Mayhem: Desperately trying to turn the page, there is no
mention
of Euronymous to be found anywhere on or near the CD. It is as though
he never existed. There is no mention, no memorandum, no tribute,
nothing. Can you imagine Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger? How about
Deicide without Glen Benton?
The music: There are four songs of black metal the way Satan envisioned
it here. They are simple and putrid assaults of evil. Although the
monkish chants are a cold shower here. They are out of place. Still,
and
even if the guitars play coy this rips. - Ali "The Metallian"
MAYHEM - GRAND DECLARATION OF WAR - SEASON OF MIST/ NECROPOLIS
Mayhem without Euronymous (who it must be pointed out was a mere rip off himself) is like Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger, sky without blue or hell without Satan. - Ali "The Metallian"
