Mayhem Have 20 Song Skeletons For New Album

During a recent appearance on the Everblack” podcast, Mayhem bassist Jørn “Necrobutcher” Stubberud offered an update on the band’s new album. According to him, the band currently have about 20 skeletons of songs.

Stubberud said the following when asked if fans can expect new music in 2025:

“Yes, you can. Teloch [Morten Bergeton Iversen] and Charles [Edward Alexander Hedger] have presented some demos — both of them presented over 10 songs or 10 skeletons — so [they have] presented almost 20 songs. And I listened to everything, and some of it is really fucking good.

So, after the Australian tour, I guess — no, some of us [are] gonna go on some tours with some other bands. But in March [2025], I think, we’re gonna get together and start to hammer out this thing.

By 2025 we should have been able to enter the studio. And then, hopefully, it would be cool to have it out in 2025. That would be a goal, but we’ll see.

But definitely 2026. And then, of course, we’ll be heading out [on] a new world tour to promote it, I guess.”
