Norwegian black metal legends Mayhem are set to release their live album, Daemonic Rites,’ on September 15, 2023, via Century Media Records. The album captures the band’s intense performances over the past two years, showcasing their unmatched live prowess. The group recently shared a visualizer for the live version of “Chainsaw Gutsfuck.” This release marks the conclusion of the Daemon era, which began in 2019 with their acclaimed album and continued with the 2021 EP Atavistic Black Disorder. ‘

Necrobutcher commented: 

We wanted to document how great the band and set sounds like after almost 40 years of playing live. As a treat to our fans, we decided to release this live recording. I knew from day one back in 1984 that this band was going to be outstanding—one of the best bands ever! I guess that’s a big reason why we still are here after 39 years—and counting.
