Punishing sounds from Norway's Mayhem unfold over the seven tracks on DEATHCRUSH, with the uncompromising group finally allowing this formerly limited release from 1987 a chance to reach a wider audience.

Mayhem's first official release, the Deathcrush EP is one of those contradictory recordings which arguably vaulted an entire subgenre -- black metal -- towards the fulfillment of its destiny while seemingly setting back the overall state of heavy metal beyond its prehistoric past. The primary reason being its outlandishly raw, lo-fidelity sound quality, of course, which made even stylistic forefathers Venom (who had coined the "black metal" term a few years earlier under similarly unlikely circumstances, and whose "Witching Hour" Mayhem tears through here), resemble Phil Spector's Wall of Sound, by comparison. In fact, only the earliest efforts by Sweden's Bathory, and late-'80s recordings by Brazilian acts like Vulcano, Sarcófago, and Sepultura, plumbed comparable depths of extremity to lunatic Mayhem thrashers like "Chainsaw Gutsfuck," "Necrolust," "Pure Fucking Armageddon," and the title track. Yet, Deathcrush still found space within its 18, mostly frantic minutes, for a few surprising stylistic asides, like the foreboding marshal percussion of intro "Silvester Anfang" and the lonely keyboard chimes of "(Weird) Manheim," that already hint at black metal's broader aesthetic possibilities. As a result, Deathcrush anticipates the contradictory essence -- part simplicity defined, part progressive exploration -- of the emerging Norwegian black metal movement, and will therefore strike a primal chord of recognition with all devoted enthusiasts of the genre. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Norwegian death metal originally released in 1987 and limited to 1000 copies.

4 stars Deathcrush
A true classic black metal album, definetley worth purchasing if you are a black metal fan. Deathcrush is Mayhem's first proper album and Chimera is there last, I recommend checking out the old and new Mayhem stuff. Don't bother trying to find Deathcrush in shops, certainley not if you are from my area (London, England) its near enough impossible.

4 stars Old-school
let me just get this out- Dead and Hellhammer weren't in the band when this demo was made, so I don't know which CD you guys are listening to. Instead we have Maniac on vocals and Manheim on drums. Don't expect this to sound like modern black metal. This is back when the band sounded more like Hellhammer/Celtic Frost and Venom. Extreme metal with a touch of punk and early black elements. If you're a fan of old-school extreme metal, you've got to add this album to your collection.

WOW! I would have never thought this album would be as good as it was. By the time i was done listening to it i had a headache! That has never happened before. I hope every album that this talented band makes is this good or even better. Mayhem is the future of the Black Metal movment. Hail!
