This week’s heavy metal history lesson marks 20 years since the 1994 release of one of heavy metal’s most controversial and cursed recordings, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by Norwegian black metal originators Mayhem. Created under hardship following the suicide of singer Dead, this classic album also surfaced with bass tracks scrubbed after session member Varg Vikernes murdered main man Euronymous. Host Ian Christe (Sound of the Beast, Bazillion Points Books) pieces together the classic album using tributes by Emperor, Gorgoroth, Behemoth, 1349, Immortal, Emperor, and more. Hails to the late Oystein “Euronymous” Aarseth, and know your Roots!

For total immersion in the Norway black metal world of 1992–1994, look to SLAYER MAG X, featuring candid interviews from that time with Mayhem, Burzum, Immortal, Enslaved, Darkthrone, Thorns, and many other key figures.
