Mayhem is a Norwegian black metal band formed in the 1980s, widely regarded as a pioneering and highly controversial act in the early Norwegian black metal scene. Early and notable members mentioned in the reviews include Euronymous, Dead, Hellhammer and Necrobutcher; Attila Csihar is noted as a later vocalist.

Publicly documented events referenced in the reviews include Dead's 1991 suicide and the 1993 murder of Euronymous by Varg Vikernes. The band is credited with influential early releases (e.g., De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas) and has a history of divisive later/experimental albums and notable live/bootleg documents.

Reviews on DeBaser present Mayhem as a foundational and controversial Norwegian black metal band. De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is repeatedly hailed as a masterpiece. Later and experimental releases divide opinion. Live and bootleg documents of the early lineup are considered historically important.
