Mayhem

Were all these changes for the better?

When grunge met nu-metal.

Tasty hooks and corpse paint make the perfect match!

Reference anything for Dethklok.

Mayhem have not unleashed a studio album since 2007's 'Ordo ad Chao.' Now, the legendary Norwegian black metal band has revealed they'll be releasing an as-yet-untitled record later this year. They have unveiled the first song 'Psywar,' and you can watch the lyric video above via Decibel.

San Francisco isn't exactly a haven for black metal, but this group of kids don't let that stop them from paying tribute to their Norwegian idols Mayhem. In 1994, the band released the groundbreaking 'De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas,' a black metal record that is still spreading its influence.

Bad news for extreme metal fans looking to check out this year's Mayhem Festival: Polish metal kings Behemoth have just announced that they have been forced to vacate their spot on this year's festival bill.
