Mayhem tour NZ poster
Mayhem tickets $65. Available at undertheradar.co.nz & moshtix.co.nz
The bands upcoming NZ gig was featured at: http://www.3news.co.nz/Notorious-metal-band-Mayhem-coming-to-NZ/tabid/418/articleID/157527/Default.aspx
Controversial metal group Mayhem is playing its first ever New Zealand gig later this year and a group advocating family values is not happy.
The band is considered to be one of the most important in the influential Norwegian black metal scene, gaining notoriety early in their career with violent stage shows, the singer committing suicide and the bass player being found guilty of murder and church burnings.
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.”
3news.co.nz spoke to concert promoter Gareth Craze of RW Entertainment about the show, which takes place at the Kings Arms Tavern, September 21:
Given the band's notorious history, are you at all concerned with bringing them to New Zealand?
"Not at all. That's what public liability insurance is for."
Mayhem have performed controversial, violent live shows - should people be concerned for their safety if they attend the Auckland gig?
"Absolutely. If there is one show this year where one can reasonably expect one's safety to be compromised by the performing act, this is the one. With the history this band have, it would be flat out ludicrous for one to attend this show with an expectation of being safe, unmolested and unsubjected to offence."
What can fans look forward to at Mayhem's first ever New Zealand show?
"Intense theatrics, spellbinding lights and a fearsome dose of relentless sonic violence set to Satan's own soundtrack. These guys are masters of their craft and 25-odd year veterans for good reason."
Mayhem’s 1994 album De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is widely regarded as one of the black metal genre’s greatest masterpieces, however its release was extremely troubled.
Work on the album began in the late ‘80s, but was halted when singer Dead committed suicide in 1991 by shooting himself in the head. Band mate and Mayhem founder Euronymous took photos of Dead’s body before calling the police, and allegedly made a stew with pieces of Dead’s brain, and necklaces with fragments of his skull.
In 1993 Euronymous was stabbed to death by Mayhem’s bass player at the time, Varg Vikernes, who performs as solo act Burzum to this day. Vikernes was sentenced to 21 years in prison for the murder, and was also found guilty of a string of arson attacks on Norwegian churches.
Mayhem’s lyrics focus on Satan, darkness, evil, depression and violence, while their stage shows have included pig heads impaled on stakes and band members cutting themselves with broken glass and knives.
They have also faced controversy for reportedly using Nazi imagery and making racist statements.
The current band line-up features founding member Necrobutcher, along with Atilla Csihar and Hellhammer, who both joined during the recording of De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.

In an unprecedented move..
Thanks to Caleb for making an appearance on the show last night & answering a few questions we had regarding the anti-core-influenced-metal sentiments that seem prevalent over the internet.
Regarding the Attack Attack! song I played:
'What Happens If I Can't Check My MySpace When We Get There?' from the album "Someday came Suddenly". Also, Attack Attack! are playing a New Zealand show with Pierce the Veil, September 9th at Ellen Melville Hall
We have received a good amount of correspondence, 99% of which is negative the rest/other, judging by the reference to some north American singer called J.Beiber & pop-rap songs, is possibly sarcastic
I played the song as a point of reference, showing (in my mind) the extent to which the (potentially) negative influence 'core (or whatever you would call it) can have on the metal sound. At the outset I had noble intentions, although I did have an agenda to biased listeners in a way that wasn't through the sensible discussions Caleb & I had been undertaking up to that point.
I apologise for using such 'tactics' to push the point across. The song was played out of context & has since been perceived as bad taste- although there was fair warning i.e. I had joked it would make Caleb vomit.
The hfhshow is, of course, pro-metal/hardcore genres in all its forms including metalcore, deathcore and generally other core sounds, so as such stand by the choice to include Attack Attack! in our playlist, but recognise it's placement during the hfhshow broadcast was not appropriate.

Anti to the core
On the show tonight (28 June 10), we have an expert (maybe but certainly a strongly opinionated guy) on the show, to discuss the recent 'movement' I've noticed against Metal with influences of 'core'.
We find out if it's a big deal, much like what resulted in the anti-glam blacklash back in the 80's, or whether it's yet another form of metal elitism found form on the internet comments sections of metal news sites.. Is it a trend of internet warriors to bag the 'core' sound, or is it just progress that's rubbing some the wrong way.
Tune in to (maybe) find out these answers and more: http://www.95bfm.com/default,live.sm

Exodus @ Kings Arms, Oct 1st.
Just got emailed the following press release:
AUSTRALIAN / NEW ZEALAND TOUR OCTOBER 2010
EXDOUS
“I’m not happy unless I see someone out there in the pit, bleeding and smiling!” Gary Holt
At the beginning of their career, EXODUS gained huge notoriety in the international underground scene as a result of the tape trading community. Their dynamic guitar riffing, adrenaline-inducing drum work, and bloodied live shows made all the difference in the band’s mission to take Bay Area Thrash to a worldwide audience. By 1983, the band line-up included guitarist Rick Hunolt and bassist Rob McKillop and had inspired the likes of Metallica, Testament, Death Angel, and Vio-lence. EXODUS’ debut, the immortal, must-have, undisputed thrash classic Bonded By Blood was released in and a vast tour with Slayer and Venom propelled the band into a household name. Eight albums later, EXODUS still remain at the top of their game, continuing to dominate the charge and showing all in their path what classic metal is about.
These undisputed thrash metal legends are on their way to smash Australian and New Zealand for their first headlining tour in these parts of the globe. EXODUS promise us another lesson in violence with a thrashing master class in heart-racing, eyebrow-raising, raise-your-fist-in-the-air guitar riffs, rip-tide bass lines, and double-bass flurries.
Get in the pit and show your worth!
EXODUS performing at:
October 1st - The Kings Arms, Auckland
October 2nd - The Manning Bar, Sydney
October 3rd - The Corner Hotel, Melbourne
October 4th - The HiFi Bar, Brisbane
