Mayhem – Deathcrush [CASSETTE]

Deathcrush was an EP by the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem – Now available as a Music Cassette! Originally released on 16 August 1987. Though influential to black metal, it’s lyrics and sound were largely influenced by early death metal bands. “Chainsaw Gutsf***” was voted “Most Gruesome Lyrics Ever” by Blender in 2006. The Deathcrush EP was immediately ground-breaking, establishing new standards of brutality, the song writing itself is still largely derivative of their influences, particularly Venom and early Bathory.
