MAYHEM AUST/NZ Tour Sept 2010

SOUNDWORKS TOURING & APPARELDIRECT.COM.AU presents



AUSTRALIAN TOUR SEPTEMBER 2010

When it comes to the definitive history of black metal, only one name has survived all the sensationalism. Through the church burnings, murder, imprisonments and myopic teenage nationalism, only MAYHEM has been able to channel the circus like atmosphere, which surrounded a core of fanatical bands, into a sustained musical career, in the studio and more importantly, on stage. Following an eight year absence from our end of the world and twenty six years of cold, harsh existence, MAYHEM reappear in Australia to regain the throne of darkness that is rightfully theirs. Featuring iconic members Atilla Csihar, Necrobutcher and Hellhammer, and with the reputation of being one of the most controversial live acts to ever disgrace this planet, do not miss out on this chance to witness and worship one of the true Norwegian black metal legends in the flesh.

I thought these days were over.
Family First group opposes/ tries to censor Mayhem in New Zealand


Family First NZ says Mayhem should be avoided.

“Any band that glorifies issues such as drug use, suicide, and negative behaviours associated with Satanism should be given a wide berth,” Bob McCoskrie of Family First NZ told 3news.co.nz.

“We would ask that the censorship board do a pre-approval of their performance and lyrics to ensure they’re not breaking the law in encouraging illegal activity and containing offensive material.”
