Mayhem lineup thread

[Jakke]

So, I've always been an avid black metal fan, and the band who started it all was Mayhem. These norwegian heroes has gone through a lot of lineup changes over the years, all with their own distinct sound...

So, my question to you is: What lineup is your favourite?
Mine is two actually, the late 90:s with Maniac and Blasphemer before Maniac started to flip(hahaha, "flip"), and the lineup before this with Blasphemer and Attila


Please, only write here if you enjoy The True Mayhem, don't go in here to say that Mayhem sucks ass... Thank you!

This is among the sickest versions of this song I've heard, Mayhem at one their primes:

I would say the line-up with Dead on vocals.

 

[Ironbird666]

the late 90:s with Maniac and Blasphemer

I think we're in the minority here, but that's my favorite period of the band also. I enjoy the classic albums as well, but Wolf's Lair Abyss to Chimera are my personal favorites. I really enjoy Blasphemer's riffing and Maniac's completely twisted vocals. I'm not really big on Attila but I enjoy his work with the band. Mayhem's work as a whole is some of my favorite black metal of all time.

Blasphemer is one of my favourite extreme metal player, he used low grade equipment but still got such a stellar tone

I love the thrashy "Slaughter Of Dreams" from Chimera. I also love "Wall Of Water" from Ordo Ad Chao

 

[Ironbird666]

Fall of Seraphs does it for me, one of my favorite tracks EVER.

 

[Sofos]

Blasphemer/Maniac era is my favourite. GDOW is my fav album of black metal, period.

 

[Jakke]

Ironbird, let's not forget the eternally triumphant Freezing Moon

 

[Jakke]

Blasphemer/Maniac era is my favourite. GDOW is my fav album of black metal, period.

I did not really care for GDOW, but I don't hate it like some really rabiant fans does

I recently revisited GDOW a few days ago, really great record IMO. When it first came out I was the only one in my little circle of metal loving friends to actually really enjoy it. They all thought it sucked. I felt it was pretty ahead of it's time for black metal but I guess the spoken word vocals/Maniac in general turned a lot of people off.

Jakke, I absolutely love Freezing Moon. That intro is so simple but is one of the most chilling things I've ever heard.

 

[Jakke]

It's absolutely spine-chilling Ironbird, the same with De Mysterii Dom Sathanas, that's one ice cold song

 

[Floppystrings]

 

[longfalcon]

i think was, like the only black metal dude at college to really fucking like Chimera

i thought it was pretty sick, disgusting and brutal at the same time

 

[brutalwizard]

haha i thought this thread was going to be about that metal tour with megadeth and all shall perish haha

 

[Dwellingers]

Gonna see them this weekend. Will decide if they are woth the penny.

They are worth every penny, saw them last year, and they killed!

 

[BucketheadRules]

I love the version of Freezing Moon with Dead on vocals.

I also love DMDT, but I think it would have sounded even better with Dead instead of Attila.

 

[ridner]

I am a fan indeed.

 

[Jakke]

I am a fan indeed.

Blaphemer, Attila, Hellhammer, and Necrobutcher is killer. Imagine GDOW with Attila. I think it could have been way better perhaps.

Ordo Ab Chao is a Masterpiece in my view.
