Mayhem
Summit Music Hall
Denver, CO
3.12.22
As with many cities, it’s been a long, long drought for any significant live shows in Denver, Colorado. The bright promise could be seen on the faces in crowd as well as the faces on Mayhem as they said their goodbyes from the stage. Artist or audience, It feels great to be together again.
Mayhem never fail to put on a great show, and Saturday night was no exception. Their set comprised of essentially three acts. The first being the newer material - from 2019’s Daemon and reaching back to 1997’s Wolf’s Lair Abyss. Act two was dedicated solely to De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas and the final act devoted to the band’s legendary first release, the Deathcrush e.p.
As always, the unholy theatrics of vocalist Attila Csihar make an already brutal experience all the more visceral and unforgettable.
The Sanguine Sodomy of North America continues through April 3. Sadly, without Watain who had to forego the tour due to unforeseen visa issues.
