NEWS: Mayhem enter the “Realm of Endless Misery”!

Celebrating the arrival of a seventh studio album from Norwegian Black Metal masters Mayhem which surfaces from the black lagoon via Century Media as the band begin a European tour, a music video for “Realm of Endless Misery” has been shared as a fourth single from “Liturgy of Death“. Reaffirming why they remain one of the most relentless pillars of extreme music after more than four decades shaping the genre‘s evolution, the band now turns its creative gaze toward the inescapable presence of mortality, portraying life as a transitional state and death as a gateway to a higher form of being…

Attila comments on the new track: “Realm of Endless Misery is the fourth single from the new Mayhem album and presents a state of human existence in which suffering is not an exception but a governing principle. The song portrays human life as a closed realm sustained by repetition, fear, and manipulation, where time itself becomes a mental trap and hope slowly drains from consciousness. It does not tell a story and offers no redemption. Through its mantra-like structure and cold, oppressive imagery, the track confronts the listener with the mechanics of misery, revealing a world in which destruction is not an endpoint but a permanent condition. Released as the third single in advance of the whole album, Realm of Endless Misery deepens its unified dark vision and brings the listener one step closer to the final revelation.”

The previously announced “Death Over Europe 2026” tour which will find Mayhem joined by Marduk and Immolation shapes up like this:
