Prolific black metal band Mayhem have announced an Australian tour.

The tour marks the 30 year anniversary of Mayhem, who are without any doubt one of the most influential black metal bands of all time.

The band will be hitting our shores in January, and you can check out the press release below.

"30TH ANNIVERSARY AUSTRALIAN TOUR JANUARY, 2014

When it comes to the definitive history of black metal, only one name has
survived all the sensationalism. Through the church burnings, murder,
imprisonments and myopic teenage nationalism, only MAYHEM has been able to
channel the circus like atmosphere, which surrounded a core of fanatical
bands, into a sustained musical career, in the studio and more importantly,
on stage. The year 2014 presents 30 years of cold, harsh existence, and
MAYHEM reappear in Australia to regain the throne of darkness that is
rightfully theirs. Featuring iconic members Atilla Csihar, Necrobutcher and
Hellhammer, and with the reputation of being one of the most controversial
live acts to ever disgrace this planet, do not miss out on this chance to
witness and worship one of the true Norwegian black metal legends in the
flesh.

MAYHEM and local supports performing at:

January 10th - The Hifi, Melbourne

January 11th - The Factory Theatre, Sydney

January 12th - The Hifi, Brisbane
