Mayhem -Mediolanum Capta Est CD

This live album was recorded at the Rainbow Club in Milan, Italy in November 1998. The line-up features original Mayhem vocalist Maniac, plus current band members Hellhammer on drums, Necrobutcher on bass & Blasphemer on guitar. The show also features a guest appearance by now-current Mayhem vocalist Attila Csihar on the track 'From the Dark Past'.

 

Mayhem formed in Oslo, Norway, in 1984 & is infamous as one of the early Scandinavian purveyors of black metal, made even more legendary after the well-documented murder of original Mayhem guitarist Euronymous in 1993.

 

With a crystal clear sound & the noticeably stunning drum work of Hellhammer (currently also sticksman for Dimmu Borgir), the band themselves considered this worthy of being labelled an official release, as Mayhem storm through a strong set full of classics from old releases 'Deathcrush' & 'De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas', to the post-Euronymous compositions as featured on 'Wolf's Lair Abyss'
