Mayhem have announced they will release their new EP, Atavistic Black Disorder/Kommando, on July 9th via Century Media Records. The upcoming EP will feature additional material from the Daemon sessions, mixing both original and covers from punk classics from Discharge, Dead Kennedys, Rudimentary Peni, and The Ramones. Preorders are available at this location.

Vocalist Attila explains:

“I always had some punk influences. 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 80’s, alongside heavy metal. But then I discovered Venom, that was a game changer!”

Necrobutcher adds:

“We had some extra time in the studio recording the Daemon album two years ago, all band members were asked to punch in two cover tracks for some extra material,” “I chose songs by Deathstrike (The Truth) and Death (Evil Dead), which were both used as the bonus tracks on the album. My other contribution was to bring in two old members because of their obvious connection with punk: Maniac on the Dead Kennedys track and Billy (Messiah) on the Discharge track and some of the others.”
