The Evolution of Mayhem (1984 to present)

Hellhammer refuses to age

[@WhoisVinnie]

It's like Andreas Kisser from Sepultura and Ringo Starr from The Beatles

[@snopallchannel241]

When discussing the legacy of Mayhem, most people agree that Dead and Euronymous were the heart and soul of the band and with the death of both of them the story of the band ended. But you gotta remember Necrobutcher is the only living member to witness the band's full rise and fall, he was there along with Euro even before Dead joined, and has memories of it all - a band which evolved from a teenage dream into the darkest and most ill-fated act in the history of metal. And don't forget it was fucking Hellhammer who made the final decision to release DMDS in it's final form, probably the only metal album to feature both a predator and his victim on its tracks. Now that's what I call dedication to the band's image. I think both Necro and Hellhammer have done great job to fulfill the band's legacy, and you gotta respect them as legit Mayhem members even though it will never be the same band anymore.

[@seraphimsans191]

It was not necrobutcher it was HELLHAMER

[@xvor_tex8577]

Hellhammer been there from the beginning and Necrobutcher also been there most of the time, but we gotta give credit to Maniac And Atilla, to me They're also one of the original members along side dead and Euro

And throughout the 80's and early 90's they only released some demo stuff. While they influenced other great bands which meanwhile released their albums, Mayhem waited until their 'stars' where dead and then released their first real album...

The truth is black metal couldn’t exist without outrageous gimmicks. Black Metal bands need this because they feed, prey and rely on teenage curiosities. That’s what it is all about. Musically, they are composed of lame musicians, only playing basic chords progressions with loud distortions.

[@robins5798]

First of all, black metal was never about "musicianship" and your "truth" is just an empty opinion based on zero understanding of this particular form of art. I've listened to black metal for 25 years, and while the shallow media sensationalism of the genre initially may awake "teenage curiosity", it goes way deeper than that when you scratch beneath the surface of regurgitated tales of the small black metal environment in late 80's/early 90's Norway. You'll find spirituality, independence and a great connection to nature, far away from this modern western consumerist society made up of a numb and dumb herd of sheep. On a strictly musical level, black metal has come to be the most diverse subgenre in metal. No other metal genre can use so many different production techniques and incorporate elements from so many other various forms of music and make it work, if done right. The basic fundamentals in black metal has allowed for experimentation way beyond what any other genre is capable of. It's clear that you've only heard a couple of bands from the early 90's and then wrote the whole genre off based on that.

[@caomengde1645]
