Mayhem: a death- and Armageddon-obsessed black metal band even your grandma can get behind. Or not. Photos by Joe McCabe.

Mayhem rolled into Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom on Sunday, celebrating 25 years of doom and gloom. The controversial black metal band, known for their violent live shows, played just under an hour. Tearing through most of “Death Crush” and covering some of their later releases, Mayhem put on a hell of a show. – Joe McCabe

    Mayhem was great, could have done without all the poser opening bands though.

    Joe- Great work! I skipped out on Sleepytime Gorilla Museum earlier this year because I couldn’t handle the thought of going somewhere to get scared by a band (I don’t do haunted houses or movies with any amount of blood or terror either.) I’ve never understood the excitement behind being scared, but I kind of wish I would have gone to see Mayhem. It looks like it was EPIC.
