MAYHEM's 'Life Eternal' Digipack To Contain 'De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas' Demo

November 26, 2008

When the MAYHEM's cult milestone "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" was released in 1994, its mastermind Euronymous was not able to witness this album become the single most important release of the Norwegian black metal scene, as he had been killed by Varg Vikernes (BURZUM) a short time eariler. Vikernes had played bass on the record but for obvious reasons his role was diminished by reducing the level of bass in the final mix.

An important aspect of the album's outstanding significance is the enigmatic and occult vocal performance of Attila Csihar. However, all that the Hungarian ever received for his essential contribution to "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" was a personally made copy of its rough mix, featuring the original bass sound as it was intended to be.

Now Attila shares his treasure with true MAYHEM fans by releasing the demo version in this special, 3,000-copy limited A5 digipack entitled "Life Eternal", including his very own liner notes and previously unseen pictures.
