Talk:Mayhem (band)

message: ..Is not an official Mayhem album. just putting it out there that i put it in the compilation albums list cos even though its an official release by Mayhem it is not an official album. For the simple reason that it wasnt even released on cd, only on LP. Plus it is always noted that the only official release by the band with Dead on vocals is the Freezing Moon single, released in 1996.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Okram 09 (talk • contribs) 01:50, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Out from the Dark is indeed an official album, as clearly stated on the band's own website. That it was only released on vinyl is neither here nor there... this is something that many metal bands do. It is certainly not "always noted" that the "Freezing Moon" single is the only official release to feature Dead on vocals, as again stated on the official Mayhem website. Aside from Out from the Dark, there is also Live in Leipzig for instance. Finally, Out from the Dark is not actually a compilation, so should remain where it is.

text: Firstly, many many bands release albums exclusively on vinyl... I don't understand why you find this unusual, or indeed why it should be relevant. Secondly, I suspect that the Dawn of the Black Hearts bootleg may well be independently notable, precisely because of coverage it has received because of that picture.

thread_title:  Out From The Dark.. 

message: Although the spelling of "Euronymous" was taken from the Satanic Bible, I thought he expressed contempt for both Crowley and LaVey. The Satanic influences came from other sources, such as notably the holy bible; "For serious information about real Satanism read the Holy Bible and forget the goodness of LaVey and his life-worshipping followers."

message: I think that Blasphemer real name is Rune Erickson and not Rune Eriksen as it says in the article. This can be verified on Official Mayhem site, in metal-archives and on several other sites.

thread_title:  Can this be checked 

message: "This frustrated his bandmates and it is rumored that Necrobutcher signaled his departure from Mayhem by kicking him down a flight of stairs after he (Maniac) had gotten drunk before a gig and was unable to remember the lyrics."
Can someone get a source for this, it doesn't seem like something Necrobutcher would do, from what I know of him he seems a rather nice, un-violent bloke. I also read in various publications that Maniac left as he was not interested in touring to the extent of which Mayhem tour and I have never once heard of him suffering from stage fright, why would he be a singer in the first place? And he is now also in a punk band which again you wouldn't do if you had stage fright.--XdiabolicalX 19:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Another thing I just noticed Dead didn't kill himself in the basement of Helvete. He did it in a hut at the back of a cabin type house where the band was living at the time.--XdiabolicalX 22:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeh this line really annoyed me as well, no citation, very impartial, almost certainly not true.

replies: text: The problem with this kind of claim is that black metal is divided between elitists, who will turn their backs to a band for making an album that sounds different than the old style, or that has good production and doesn't sound like it was recorded an a bathtub with a $10 computer microphone (this isn't hyperbole, people really do think that the production should be kept unclear and muddy,) and to give a relevant example, criticized Euronymous for being too technical and proficient in his solos, and fans who aren't so extreme.  The less extreme ones tend to be the Mayhem fans.  I removed everything after "... widely considered to be one of the cornerstones of the black metal movement," because that is indisputable fact rather than the "greatest bands of all time" argument that, in my opinion, has no place in an encyclopedia.

message: Did Blasphemer leave Mayhem? He is listed as both a current and a fromer member, yet it states that he decicded to leave the band in april 2008. If this is so, then shouldn't he be listed as only a former member, not as both. Svartasmeden (talk) 17:11, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I apologize for the justified confusion.  Mayhem, with Blasphemer on guitar, performed in mid '08 after Blasphemer had announced his departure from the band.  Posts on the band's web page citing late '08/early '09 touring plans and lacking any mention of a new guitarist seemed to indicate that Blasphemer, though no longer an official member, would be performing on these tours - hence the confusion regarding the lineup listings.  Morfeus has since been announced as the group's touring guitarist, indicating Blasphemer's definitive departure, and the listings have been changed to reflect this.  I hope that clears everything up.  Colinclarksmith (talk) 22:08, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Need something clarified 

message: I see there is some controversy regarding the addition of a new "era" (ie, 2008-present) to the band member wikitable (not to be confused with the List of Mayhem band members) to mark the departure of Blasphemer.  I, for one, favor the addition of this listing.  
I agree that Morfeus is something of a dubious addition, as he is at present only a touring guitarist.  However, this point is invalid regarding his non-inclusion for two reasons - 1.) Both Attila (in what is listed as his '92-'93 stint) and Grishnahck were temporary members at the time of their involvement in the band and are included in the chart, and 2.) Blasphemer's departure, importantly, indicates the end of a long era for the band, as they are losing a key member - specifically, the credited musical composer of their three most recent albums.  I am planning on altering the band's bio in the main article by concluding the Ordo Ad Chao chapter with Blasphemer's departure and beginning a new one (which, of course, will have little content until future events unfold.)  I will do this in the next few days - please alert me to any feelings or thoughts you have on the matter.  Colinclarksmith (talk) 22:21, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To put it simply, the members table is not for touring members, hence Messiah and Nordgarden aren't included. Right now, Morfeus has been recruited solely for the South American tour. Should he record an album with the band in future, he can be added to the table. ~Asarlaí 22:48, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough.  Nonetheless, I do plan on altering the band's biographical history section to reflect Blasphemer's departure, as I feel it is significant enough to warrant a new chapter (as did Maniac's departure.) Colinclarksmith (talk) 22:53, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
