Peaceville

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.

Peaceville is an English label founded by Paul Halmshaw, also known as Hammy, in 1987. The label primarily focuses on metal music and has gained a reputation for its high-quality releases. In 2000, Peaceville was sold to Snapper Music but continues to thrive under their ownership.

Throughout its history, Peaceville has used various catalog number formats to distinguish different types of releases. From 1987 to 1995, the label used "VILE ### T" for 12-inch singles, maxis, and EPs; "VILE ###" for LPs; and "VILE ### P" for picture LPs. From 1987 to 2002, CD releases were labeled as "CDVILE### / VILE ### CD," while MCDs/singles/EPs were labeled as "CDMVILE### / VILE ### TCD." Limited CDs were marked with "CDXVILE###."

In later years, Peaceville introduced new catalog number formats such as "CC#" for the Collectors Club series of 7-inch records in 1993-1994. Re-issued CDs with slipcases from 1999 onwards are labeled as "CDVILEM###." Since 2002, CDs have been designated as "CDVILEF###," limited CDs as "CDVILEF###X," MCDs/singles/EPs as "CD

Concluding Peaceville's series of the legendary line-up's four recorded live shows from 1990 comes Live In Jessheim.

Featuring the line-up of Euronymous, Dead, Hellhammer and Necrobutcher, this is one of only a handful of recordings featuring the Norwegian black metal quartet in arguably their most influential period, as they forged a sound and darkness entirely of their own, before going on to almost inspire a whole scene single- handedly across a generation. 

Features such classic tracks as 'Funeral Fog', 'Freezing Moon', &amp; 'Deathcrush' in a set of pure chaos &amp; rawness. 

This edition of Live In Jessheim features audio taken from a new source.

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, as vocalist Dead committed suicide the year after the shows and guitarist Euronymous was killed in 1993.
