Mayhem - Grand Declaration of War 25th Anniversary LP
25th anniversary edition of 'Grand Declaration of War' on red and silver sunburst 12" vinyl in deluxe gatefold with silver foil.
This edition comes with exclusive double-sided full colour poster (60cm x 60cm) and fake leather embroidered patch with merrow border.
Handnumbered and limited to 333 copies worldwide.
No band embodies the spirit of black metal like MAYHEM. In the wake of violence and scandal, the Norwegians set the standard for the subgenre with their canonical 1994 debut. Other influential acts would quickly follow in their footsteps, but after six years of mounting controversy, these iconoclasts returned with an album that trvly defies convention.
On âGrand Declaration of Warâ, the pioneers of Norwegian black metal continued to bow down for no one â even themselves. The band were coldblooded as ever on merciless cuts like âA Time to Dieâ, but their arsenal of blast beats and tremolo picking was strengthened by an increase in command. Written in collaboration between newly appointed guitarist Blasphemer and vocalist Maniac, the album didnât expand so much as it invaded territory that was then believed off-limits: spoken word (âView from Nihilâ), trip-hop (âA Bloodsword and a Colder Sunâ), soundscapes of doom (âCompletion in Science of Agonyâ). No matter how they chose to impose their will, there was nowhere that MAYHEM feared to tread.
Salute the 25th anniversary of MAYHEMâs groundbreaking second album with this special edition of âGrand Declaration of Warâ, which includes the original master and new packaging.
For fans of DARKTHRONE, GORGOROTH, IMMORTAL, WATAIN, 1349.
