This Moment In Black Metal

Here is something that will brighten your day. It’s the sweet Norwegian Black Metal band Mayhem playing their popular hit “Deathcrush” in front of a bunch of people who are really excited that that sort of thing is happening.

And as far as this sort of thing goes, Mayhem pretty much rules this sh*t. I have to say, however, that the bass player towelling off and drinking water before the song starts isn’t very Black Metal if you ask me. What happened to human suffering, you puss? Also, the singer’s outfit is a little too Hot Topic for my tastes. Then again, maybe this was a big show for them and he wanted to take things to the next level and sort of lost control or something. Still, the pig heads and barbed wire along the front of the stage pretty much make up for any of that. But would it have killed the rest of the band to throw on a little corpse paint or something? Hey, I’m just saying.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. It pretty much rules in like fifteen or sixteen different ways.
