Black Metal band Mayhem have announced their 7th studio album, Liturgy of Death. Four decades into their career, Mayhem have turned their focus “toward the inescapable reality of death.” Liturgy of Death examines “loss, fear of dying, powerlessness and the fragility of existence.” It arrives on February 6, 2026.

“Weep for Nothing” Mayhem’s new single out now, “turns the fear of mortality into revelation, a hymn to nothingness where grief becomes meaningless.”

The band will also be touring in Europe this winter.
