Pioneering Norwegian black metallers Mayhem have no shortage of ideas in place for their seventh full-length album. A recent interview with Everblack Podcast saw bassist Jørn “Necrobutcher” Stubberud elaborate on where the group are at with that record thus far. When asked if fans could expect new Mayhem music in 2025, Necrobutcher replied:
“Yes, you can. Teloch [Mayhem guitarist Morten Bergeton Iversen] and Charles [Edward Alexander Hedger, Mayhem guitarist] have presented some demos — both of them presented over 10 songs or 10 skeletons — so [they have] presented almost 20 songs. And I listened to everything, and some of it is really fucking good.
So, after the Australian tour, I guess — no, some of us [are] gonna go on some tours with some other bands. But in March [2025], I think, we’re gonna get together and start to hammer out this thing.
By 2025 we should have been able to enter the studio. And then, hopefully, it would be cool to have it out in 2025. That would be a goal, but we’ll see. But definitely 2026. And then, of course, we’ll be heading out [on] a new world tour to promote it, I guess.”
