Mayhem (band)

Mayhem is a Norwegian black metal band which was originally formed in 1983. The band's initial line-up consisted of Manheim on drums and Necrobutcher on bass guitar. The name "Mayhem" was taken from the title of the Venom song "Mayhem With Mercy". Much controversy has surrounded the band regarding various murders, suicides, and other forms of violence. Mayhem have moved through a variety of black metal styles, even going so far as delving into the areas of dark avant-garde industrial and electronica. The group (at least in its earliest incarnation; 1983-1993) are widely considered to be one of the cornerstone bands in the Norwegian black metal movement.
