The godfathers of black metal, MAYHEM, return with their seventh studio album, Liturgy of Death, out February 6 via Century Media Records. Accompanied by the release of their haunting new single and video “Weep for Nothing”, the band once again redefines extremity, delving into the existential void.
Liturgy of Death stands as a reflection on mortality, loss, and the frailty of existence, transforming despair into ritual. Across its nine core tracks, the album captures the paradox of eternal decay, its terror, its beauty, and its inevitability.

A hymn to nothingness, “Weep for Nothing” strips grief of meaning. With razor-edged riffs, relentless speed, and suffocating atmosphere, the song transforms fear of mortality into revelation. The result is cold, grand, and utterly merciless, Mayhem distilled to its most essential form.
