Mayhem - Liturgy Of Death

Liturgy Of Death is the seventh studio album by Norwegian black metal band Mayhem, released in February 2026 via Century Media Records.

With their new opus Liturgy Of Death, MAYHEM reaffirm their status as the most uncompromising force in Norwegian Black Metal.

After four decades of extremity, the band has reached a new apex of darkness: faster, fiercer, and more sinister than anything in their recent catalogue.

The album unfolds as a relentless meditation on death in all its manifestations – existential, spiritual, and absolute.

From the furious chaos of “Despair” and “Funeral of Existence” to the bleak grandeur of “Ephemeral Eternity” and “Aeon’s End”, each track drags the listener deeper into a ritual of misery and transcendence.

“Propitious Death” and “The Sentence of Absolution intertwine brutality with ominous atmosphere, while “Life Is a Corpse You Drag” and “Sancta Mendacia” leave no doubt that Mayhem remain unmatched in channeling despair into sound.

With Necrobutcher, Hellhammer, Attila, Teloch, and Ghul locked into a unit tighter than ever, Liturgy of Death presents a band not content to rest on legacy but determined to push the boundaries of extremity itself.

The result is a merciless record – dark, fast, and unrelenting – that captures Mayhem in their most dangerous and vital form.

Forty years since their birth in Langhus, MAYHEM continue to embody chaos, proving once more that Norwegian Black Metal is a force without end.

This album is a limited edition compact disc housed in a mediabook with slipcase, 28 page booklet and bonus track, pressed in Europe via Century Media.
