Mayhem is a black metal band hailing from Ski/Oslo, Norway. Formed in 1984-1993 and then again in 1995, they have become notorious for their dark history. This includes the tragic suicide of singer Per Yngve Ohlin, the murder of Øystein Aarseth by Varg Vikernes, and a series of church arsons that led to Vikernes' conviction.

The current lineup consists of Jørn "Necrobutcher" Stubberud on bass, Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg on drums, Attila Csihar on vocals, Morten "Teloch" Iversen on guitar, and Charles "Ghul" Hedger on guitar.

Over the years, Mayhem has seen various former members including Kjetil Manheim on drums/percussions, Sven Erik "Maniac" Kristiansen as vocalist during different periods, Per Yngve "Dead" Ohlin as vocalist until his untimely death in 1991, Louis "Count Grishnackh" Cachet (aka Kristian Vikernes) on bass guitar for a brief period and Snorre "Blackthorn" Ruch and Rune "Blasphemer" Erikson both contributing as guitarists at different times.

With over three decades having passed since this now-legendary gig, and also featuring the original iconic cover artwork from the album's first pressing in 1993. This classic title includes a performance from the Leipzig show by the Norwegian legends on November 26th 1990, featuring the seminal Mayhem line-up of Hellhammer, Necrobutcher, Euronymous and Dead. Live in Leipzig&nbsp;primarily contains live renditions of tracks from the Deathcrush release (1987) such as 'Necrolust' and the title track &amp; 1994's landmark release, 'De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas', with songs including 'Funeral Fog' and the ultimate black metal classic, 'The Freezing Moon'. Mayhem are one of the undeniable leaders of the black metal genre and an inspiration for many black metal bands worldwide today, having existed for over 35 years, with an often dark and tragic history giving them unrivalled infamy. This is one of very few releases to feature this line-up - vocalist Dead committed suicide the year after the show and guitarist Euronymous was murdered in 1993.&nbsp;
