Norwegian black metal pioneer Mayhem returns this year with a new single and visualizer video "Voces Ab Alta" from their forthcoming EP "Atavistic Black Disorder / Kommando" coming out on July 9th, 2021.
The official music video for the song "Voces Ab Alta", created by visual artist Costin Chioreanu can be seen below. The new song is nefarious enough to satisfy all the back metal devotees around the globe.
Formed in Oslo in 1984, the black metal legends never fail to unleashed new materials. Necrobutcher, Hellhammer, Attila Csihar, Teloch, and Ghul begat the scene even though there were early career controversies in the band.
The seven-song EP features three original tracks "Voces Ab Alta", "Black Glass Communion" and "Everlasting Dying Flame" together with classic punk covers from Discharge's "In Defense Of Our Future" Dead Kennedys' "Hellnation" cover, Rudimentary Peni's "Only Death" and The Ramones' "commando.
"I always had some punk influences," Attila Csihar said. "I guess it comes from my childhood when we were constantly looking for more extreme music. That's how I discovered Dead Kennedys, GBH, The Exploited, Sex Pistols, U.K. Subs, Discharge, Rudimentary Peni, and so on, in the early '80s, alongside heavy metal. But then I discovered Venom. That was a game-changer."
