The upcoming Northern Ritual MMXXI Tour featuring black metal pioneers MAYHEM and undisputed inventor of dungeon synth MORTIIS, as support act, has been postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. The new dates will be announced soon.
“While it surely will come as no surprise to anyone, we are yet again forced to postpone the European tour. We would have hoped to release new dates at this time as well, but we are still working on it and will announce them as soon as we possibly can. Hails to our fans for your support through these weird times. We hope to see you all soon again!”, comments MORTIIS.
MORTIIS unleashed his last full-length album “Spirit Of Rebellion” – a re-interpreted expansion and continuation of the 1994 Era I classic “Ånden som Gjorde Opprør” – at the beginning of 2020 via Omnipresence Productions / Dead Seed Productions.
The undisputed inventor of dungeon synth, MORTIIS, unleashed his last full length album “Spirit Of Rebellion” – a re-interpreted expansion and continuation of the 1994 Era I classic “Ånden som Gjorde Opprør” – at the beginning of the year via Omnipresence Productions / Dead Seed Productions.
In September and October 2020, MORTIIS should have hit the road again with none other than black metal giants MAYHEM but due to the current world situation with Covid-19, the European tour had to be postponed to 2021.
Mortiis comments: “So this should be no surprise, my fall tour of Europe with Mayhem, has been postponed for March-April 2021, obviously thanks to Covid-19 and all the lockdowns and restrictions it has brought with it. In the meantime, stay safe and follow the rules of your health department and hopefully we can all get back on tour and meet next year!”
The extensive tour will include more than 15 different countries across Europe.

MAYHEM released their sixth full – length studio album “Deamon” in October 2019. The album entered the European charts on high ranks (Finland #4, Germany #18) and received great praise from the music press. “Deamon” can be ordered here: https://mayhemband.lnk.to/DaemonID
MAYHEM have unleashed a spectacular brand new video to their previously released single “Falsified & Hated”, watch the video here:
Teloch comments:
“This is the first official music video we have released, so indeed some thought went into this. Instead of having us filmed at some dodgy location with instruments not even plugged in, we did something different, in the true tradition of the band. We hired Johan Bååth (Watain etc) as a director and we also were lucky enough to get the infamous Swedish graffiti Artist Ziggy Jonas Rasmusson to do his ritualistic paintings for the video.“
Producer Tore Stjerna states the following:
“It’s a very strong track with tons of energy. It also stands out in an interesting way with its hints towards industrial music. The insanity of this roller-coaster ride of a song marries beautifully with the twisted art featured in the video.”
This is what director Johan Bååth has to say about this work of art:
“When I was asked to do the very first Mayhem music video, I thought I really had to do something more than just a plain Black Metal video, I wanted to take it one step further and do something different but stay true to the genre and of course Mayhem’s iconic legacy as a band. I thought of the artist Ziggy Jonas Rasmusson and his ritualistic paintings and I asked him if he wanted to participate. Together we came up with this idea of a ritualistic painted pentagon-shaped room, completely surrounded by five painted walls, facing a centered pentagram-painting with Ziggy´s ”hex-text” signs and symbols all over, each of the five point corners symbolizing human expiration.
In the middle we see an organic neoplasm tumor-like shaped form, all muddy and dirty with wooden branches ensnared around it. The surreal and scary-looking outgrowth is almost breathing with dark energy, attached to several plastic tubes connected to five cloaked characters symbolizing the five members of Mayhem. They´re completely occupied with different ritual tasks destroying all humanity and contributing matter and dark energy to the demon creation in the middle.”
Mayhem’s highly anticipated sixth studio album Daemon had been released digitally on October 25th. Today marks the physical release of the album. Get your format of choice HERE!
