MAYHEM to Release “Pure Fucking Mayhem” DVD

“Pure Fucking Mayhem”, an impressive account of the history of the legendary Norwegian black metal band MAYHEM, focusing on the years 1984-1993 with the group's tales of unrelenting, brutal black metal and bloody crimes, will be released on DVD in November via Index Verlag. The sequel to the acclaimed Norwegian/Swedish documentary “Cult of Aggression” includes exclusive interviews with, among others, Necro Butcher, Attila Csihar and Manheim, and attains a maximum of authenticity through the use of rich, often unreleased footage. As a bonus, the release also features an audio CD with eight tracks of calm and eerie piano music inspired by MAYHEM and other black metal classics.

“Pure Fucking Mayhem” was financed by the film's director, Stefan Rydehed, and was shown at film festivals around the globe.

The original film, “Cult of Aggression”, was released in 2002 and received its world premiere in 2004 at the Oslo Filmfestival, where it was shown twice.

“The first documentary about MAYHEM, 'Cult of Aggression', was about their history — mainly about their music, but, of course, if a band has such a bloody history as MAYHEM, you can't [leave] that out of the documentary,” Rydehed previously told BLABBERMOUTH.NET.

“'Cult of Aggression' was mainly with Manheim and Necro Butcher but had a few parts about Dead when I used a voice-over and some folks who lived in Krĺkstad when the band had their rehersal/livingplace there,” Rydehed added.
