MAYHEM

Mayhem is a Norwegian black metal band that formed in 1984 in Oslo, Norway. They are regarded as one of the pioneers of the influential Norwegian black metal scene. Mayhem's career has been highly controversial, primarily due to the suicide of vocalist Per Yngve Ohlin, the murder of guitarist Øystein Aarseth by former band member Varg Vikernes of Burzum, and their violent stage performances.
