Norwegian black metal legends MAYHEM are officially back in the studio, working on their long-awaited seventh full-length album—marking their first new material since Daemon dropped in 2019.
In a recent interview with Noise Magazine, longtime bassist Jørn “Necrobutcher” Stubberud confirmed the news:
“We are currently in the studio now to record a new album, which has been in the works for several years, obviously, ’cause the last album was in 2019, so it’s already six years. But that’s good.”
When asked about the lengthy gap between albums, Necrobutcher explained that the time away allowed the band’s songwriters space to evolve creatively:
“It’s more honest, I think, and it’s better for everyone that there is some space between the albums… The longer time it takes, the better it is… That’s why I love to release live albums too, because I feel like that’s how the songs should actually be.”
He went on to describe the organic nature of their songwriting process—comparing it to painting, where the challenge lies in knowing when the work is truly finished.
While a release date for the upcoming record has yet to be revealed, fans can rest assured that MAYHEM are actively crafting their next chapter in black metal history.
