Background information über 'Chimera'

Norwegian black metal legends Mayhem returned with vengeance on "Chimera", marking a decisive shift back to their primal darkness after the experimental departure of "Grand Declaration of War". This 2004 release sees the band reclaiming their throne as masters of pure black metal malevolence, delivering eight tracks of uncompromising brutality that showcase why they remain one of the genre's most influential forces. The album's title track and opener "Whore" immediately establish the record's unforgiving tone, while compositions like "Dark Night of the Soul" and "Rape Humanity with Pride" demonstrate the band's ability to craft atmospheric terror within traditional black metal frameworks.

The production on "Chimera" strikes the perfect balance between clarity and rawness, allowing every blast beat and tremolo-picked riff to cut through with surgical precision while maintaining the grimy aesthetic that defines classic Norwegian black metal. Attila Csihar's vocal performance ranges from demonic whispers to full-throated screams, perfectly complementing the band's return to their roots. Songs like "Slaughter of Dreams" and the epic seven-minute title track showcase Mayhem's mastery of dynamics, building from haunting interludes to explosive climaxes that feel both calculated and chaotic.

For fans of: Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, Immortal, Watain, 1349, and Marduk
