[edit] Crowley/LaVey
Although the spelling of "Euronymous" was taken from the Satanic Bible, I thought he expressed contempt for both Crowley and LaVey. The Satanic influences came from other sources, such as notably the holy bible; "For serious information about real Satanism read the Holy Bible and forget the goodness of LaVey and his life-worshipping followers."

- That's what I'm lead to believe as well XdiabolicalX 18:17, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
What a concidence --83.70.106.119 23:04, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I'm rephrasing that part in the article.
[edit] Real names?
Can't we find some real names for any of these guys? I mean, c'mon - Count Grishnakh?

[edit] Nomenclature
Both "Mayhem" and "Mayhem (musical group)" should be redirects to "Mayhem (band)" to maintain clarity on the issue. All wiki pages regarding bands should have the "(band)" suffix for specificity.

[edit] the death of Euronymous
all those details surrounding Count Grishnack killing Euronymous are totally based off rumours. Find the truth on http://www.burzum.org

Yeah, there was a lot of retarded speculation in that part of the article, so I fixed it up a bit.

according to a Vh1 show i believe to be Vh1's 100 most metal moments in which the band mayhem was featured gave a detailed story about the events surrounding dead's death and from that the so called rumors that Euronymous cooked and subsequently ate pieces of dead's brain are true i believe it mentioned also that he mailed some of dead'S skull fragments to those he felt "worthy" also the reason for Vikernes or Grishnackh's murder of Euronymous was because he (Vikernes)felt that Euronymous had gained a greater satanic power then he but after reading Vikerenes writings on the event it's clear that a "power" of some sort was involved but not of the satanic type vikerenes account was written in a very cold and unapologetic manner claming that his actions where in self-defense he maybe be released in April of 2006 or because of possible changes in law August 2006 on either parole or probation he is the father of one child and is also a pagan Neo-Nazi
Halosun
Did he die in Helvete or was it at his residence? - Anon i heard that Varge was the one how killed him true?
[edit] Norwegian boycott?
It is interesting to notice that as of today, both Norwegian Wikipedias don't have an article about Mayhem. --84.188.151.108 20:10, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
- why is that ?
[edit] Origin of 'DMDS' title?
According to some interviews with Dead, he seemed to believe 'De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas' is an actual ancient book. Was it ever mentioned in other sources, or was he inspired by the Necronomicon or De Vermis Mysteriis?
[edit] ban
i heard that mayhem have been banned in Norway. they can't do concerts there anymore. is it true ?
[edit] Can this be checked
I think that Blasphemer real name is Rune Erickson and not Rune Eriksen as it says in the article. This can be verified on
Official Mayhem site, in metal-archives and on several other sites. Interesting part is that on BNR Mezzerschmitt article says Erickson, but on BNR Mayhem says Eriksen??? What the fuck! Please respond with your thoughts, comments and words of enlightement! Death2 01:56, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Maniac's Departure
"This frustrated his bandmates and it is rumored that Necrobutcher signaled his departure from Mayhem by kicking him down a flight of stairs after he (Maniac) had gotten drunk before a gig and was unable to remember the lyrics."
Can someone get a source for this, it doesn't seem like something Necrobutcher would do, from what I know of him he seems a rather nice, un-violent bloke. I also read in various publications that Maniac left as he was not interested in touring to the extent of which Mayhem tour and I have never once heard of him suffering from stage fright, why would he be a singer in the first place? And he is now also in a punk band which again you wouldn't do if you had stage fright.--XdiabolicalX 19:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- Another thing I just noticed Dead didn't kill himself in the basement of Helvete. He did it in a hut at the back of a cabin type house where the band was living at the time.--XdiabolicalX 22:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
There's an excellent article at [1] which states that it was Blasphemer (not Necrobutcher) who kicked Maniac down the stairs (as well as smashing his face into a wall a couple of times). The article includes an interview with Necrobutcher, in which he says "Blasphemer actually came and asked my permission beforehand." He then confirmed the part about Maniac's stage fright. The interview was done during Mayhem's 2005 tour of Norway, which would seem to indicate they are not currently banned there (as questioned above). --Geemarcus 18:51, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The 'True' Mayhem
Is 'The True Mayhem' title mentioned in the opening statment just the name of the official website rather than an AKA? Some crowd know as 'Mayhem Communications' are loking for, ahem, $750,000 for use of mayhem.com. Coil00 02:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dawn of the Blackhearts
Dawn of the Blackhearts was not released by their record label against Euronymous's will as the article states. It was a bootleg that had the blessings of the band. This article is in need of some serious fact checking. Euronymous originally intended to use the cover picture from Dead's suicide scene as the cover for DMDS. Necrobutcher objected to this, as he was a close friend of Dead, and that was the reason he left the band prior to the recording of DMDS. Since the image was not used as the DMDS cover, it was used as the cover to Dawn of the Blackhearts
[edit] Bias
The opening paragraph of this article is ridiculously biased

[edit] Reunited musical groups?
When has Mayhem ever really not been a band? If one is to take their "hiatus'" into account then the band is barely a band. Even after the death of Euronymous they continued. -- Death666 17:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- They spilt up for about 4 years between Euronymous' death and the release of Wolf's Lair Abyss, as Hellhammer was the only member left, Attila being a session musician only. Diabolical 18:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Demos
This mythical "Voice of a Tortured Skull" demo should probably be removed. It's highly doubtful it even exists; note it's not even mentioned on the official site discography which is quite comprehensive. In any case it's certainly not an official demo, and I'd challenge anyone to prove otherwise with pictorial or interview evidence.
Most people try to rationalize the existence of this "demo" by claiming the mixed/unmixed sides of "Pure Fucking Armageddon" were previously available as seperate tapes. But there's no evidence that any such demos exist. The band sent Metal Forces magazine a press kit (see the original "PFA" demo review in one of the early issues) and this demo is not mentioned in the brief band bio the reviewer did.
