Norway's Mayhem have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a technical style of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Liturgy Of Death" which will be released in February by Century Media Records.
Dark soundscapes start off the album along with some synths before going into more of a heavier and technical direction. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Clear singing can also be heard on a few tracks while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Harsh vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with some songs also adding in a small amount of spoken words.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also adding in more of technical style, one song also introduces growls into the music and the recording also brings a more modern approach to the genre, tribal style percussion is also added towards the end. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover misanthropy, war, darkness and philosophy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mayhem and if you are a fan of this band, you should enjoy this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ephemerial Eternity" "Funeral Of Existence" and "The Sentence of Absolution". 8 out of 10.
