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.

Season Of Mist is an independent record label and distributor, with offices in Marseille, France and Philadelphia, USA. Founded in 1996 by Michael S. Berberian, the label initially focused on releasing Black Metal, Pagan Metal, and Death Metal records. Over time, Season of Mist expanded its roster to include Avant-garde Metal, Gothic Metal, and Punk bands as well. Today, it is widely regarded as one of the top labels in the extreme metal scene.

Michael S. Berberian founded Season Of Mist while completing his studies in International Economics Sciences. Since then, the label has grown steadily under his leadership and now employs 17 staff members. In addition to being a record label, Season of Mist also acts as a distributor for other metal labels such as *Metal Blade Records*, *Spinefarm Records*, and *Napalm Records* within the French territory.

With subsidiaries in France and the United States, Season Of Mist continues to be at the forefront of promoting diverse genres within extreme metal music. From its humble beginnings releasing underground black metal albums to its current status as a respected authority in the industry, Season Of Mist remains committed to supporting talented artists across various subgenres of metal.
