Vinyl LP pressing. Mayhem, the Norwegian pioneers responsible for invigorating a global scene alongside originators such as Venom, Celtic Frost & Bathory, formed in 1984 & with a long history of tragedy, intrigue & infamy have become truly revered legends of black metal, with a large part of their legacy established in the late 80's & early 90's, notably when guitarist Euronymous & bassist Necrobutcher welcomed Hellhammer on drums & Dead on vocals, to help shape a new & inspired era of darkness. 'Command For Blood, Command For War', initially included in the recent 'Pure F***ing Armageddon' vinyl boxset, contains two early Mayhem rehearsals from Necrobutcher's own archive in all of their raw glory from back in 1986, recorded on the lead up to the eventual 'Pure F***ing Armageddon' demo sessions. The release features early versions of tracks which would remain a staple of Mayhem's live set throughout the years, such as 'Pure F***ing Armageddon' itself & 'Carnage'. The title also includes cover songs of tracks originally written & performed by genre godfathers, Venom.
