Users of Gimme need no introduction to Norwegian black metal forefathers Mayhem, their fabled past and present reinforcing their status as one of the true founders of the genre. Due to the derailing of their anticipated US tour under the Decibel Magazine umbrella, Gimme has invited the band to produce a special for our listeners to help offset the losses in tour planning, promotion, and merch. Please welcome guitarist Teloch, entrenched in the Mayhem universe since 2011 and also an important past cog in such units as Gorgoroth, 1349, Nidingr, Orcustus, and Igorrr! Teloch rips through some playlist faves and hangs in the chat for the initial airing of this program.
