mayhem - life eternal

[rocker9165]

i really hate the vocals on this album

[MissJeanette69]

Best Mayhem song ever...RIP Pelle

[gorthoth]

im not starting my new year in 2012 good and I'm depressed today as well I'm having the shittiest day ever. dead's lyrics usually help when I'm feeling down

[MrEpiC123]

It's too bad Atilla ruined this song (actually, this entire album in fact) because this could have been an amazing song. Oh well, Euronymous' last work will forever have been defiled.

[DIONY5O5]

Fucking MASTERPIECE!!!

[heavytom89]

I just fucking love the bass line in this song

[snajamh]

This is the most misanthropic song in existence, not the usual meaningless screams of 'I want to die' as we see in most modern black metal bands and they were written by Dead so yeah nothing can top that

[LorenzoTedone]

This song isn't human...HAIL MAYHEM.

[scorpios814]

been a mayhem listener since 1992.their music was and is full of raw power and energy.but the self-destructive tendency of some mayhem members such as dead (and maniac) is totally idiotic.a man who kills himself(dead) is simply stupid.

[jaimewastv]

The Best Album in Black Metal Ever !! & the example for all others

(Bathory) blood fire ande dead ... its to me the 2nd place

3th Emperor ... Long Live to Black Circlee !!!

[Illnathftfw]

These lyrics are so insane, like reading Dead's life story. Creeps me out everytime, lovely.

[kvltdvl666]

Wasnt this song written just before he killed himself. Kinda like a suicide note or epithah

[ringsofsaturn666]

@kvltdvl666 i thought he was murdered

[kvltdvl666]

@ringsofsaturn666 Dead? No, Euronymous was murdered. Im talking about Deads lyrics

[Schizophren666Death]

@kvltdvl666

Yes, Pelle wrote it some time before he committed suicide. Sad that he killed himself, he is my favorite vocalist. This album would be so fucking brilliant with him!!

But Attila is also good on this..

(Sorry for my english if I made any mistakes)

[kvltdvl666]

@Schizophren666Death Dont apoligize, i make more English mistakes than most second language people do, im sure ive just made one. lol. But i think that really, Atilla made this albums atmosphere. If it had dead on it, i feel it would just be another scream fest with no real deviation, just repetative. Atillas haunting vocals are what makes this album for me

[Schizophren666Death]

@kvltdvl666 I'm learrning English for 4 years now :D

Hm thats right too.. They are both great vocalists in my opinion.

This is one of my favorite albums.. And Mayhem is my favorite band..

[metalpop666]

dead is the black metal sid vicious

[metalpop666]

now dead is with sid vicious drink  in the hell tavern....

[Goetterdaemmerung7]

The lyrics are like Dead's own epitaph.

[rostit666]

I am a mortal, but am I human ?

[cradlenazi]

@rostit666 ok no more drugs for that man :D

[tvangeste92]

pues a diferencia de todas las bandas de black, dead no hacia guturales, sino una voz ronca y medio raspoza, pero la vdd me encanta, sobre todo esta cancion, se escucha original ke no sean guturales

[cradlenazi]

@tvangeste92 no hablo espaniol mofo :D mexicans listen to black metal?

[tvangeste92]

@cradlenazi where are you from? believe it or not, here in mexico we listen to all kind of metal, but talking about me, I'm a blcker, I love black metal, but also metal in general, here we have several mexican bands that are very talentous, some of which are black metal bands... sorry if my english isn't good enough, I hope you understand

[cradlenazi]

@tvangeste92 hahhaa i didnt even know u were from mexico good guess huh. I like Dos Equis if you drink that shit there. good on ya

[tvangeste92]

@cradlenazi jajajaja, dos equis xD but you haven't answered yet, whare are you form? I'd like to know. however, I rather corona beer, or pacifico jajaja, do you know what a "michelada" is? I love micheladas, they are my favorite drink, prepared with beer, some lemon, some hot sause, clamato, maggie sause, etc. (well there's a lot of ways you can prepare them) it may sounds a little weird if you don't know this drink, but trust me, it tastes delicious!! (Y), try it. :D

[cradlenazi]

@tvangeste92 Lol im from Australia far away man

[xXSMC365Xx]

el problema es que este no es Dead, es Attila

[TwitchMD]

It's pretty easy to play too.

[TwitchMD]

This song is oddly soothing.

[rvbrules]

great song! your description made me laugh though.

[LoneStarBoy713]

HAIL DEAD DEAD IS GOD DEAD IS BLACK METAL

[chillernz]

This is the best suicide note ever made.

Ok its not the suicide note but it was found next to hes corpse

[BORRACHOAZUL]

The lyrics of Life Eternal were originally written by Dead from Mayhem as a gift

to Bull Metal. Later on, those lyrics were used in De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by

Mayhem. Typhon, as a postume tribute to Dead and Euronymous, used the lyrics for

this song.

[BMmalkavavian]

Eternal life song of Typhon was first, and the eternal life song version of mayhem was later, no?

[BMmalkavavian]

@BMmalkavavian

Dead (per yngve olin) just wrote Eternal life lyrics, and give it to Mauricio Montoya [a.k.a." bull metal" for the underground black metal world scene in the 90s] as a gift, mauricio (colombian) was very friend of euronymous and dead by letters, and that ended with the death of Dead, so euronymous wrote to bullmetal and send the photo of Dead´s suicide, and bullmetal with his label Warmaster Records record the Dawn of the Black Hearts Bootleg releasing the dark scene of the death

[BMmalkavavian]

@BMmalkavavian

medellin!

[BMmalkavavian]

@BORRACHOAZUL

No vi tu respuesta, tenes razon, espero que se encuentren en un deseado lugar dead, euro y bull!.

[BORRACHOAZUL]

@BMmalkavavian la buena ,,,de donde eres compañero?

[MenapianWarrior]

pure musical awesomeness

[ThePurefuckingMayhem]

Life Eternal lyricsA dream of another existence you wish to die a dream of another world you pray for death to release the soul. One must die to find peace inside, you must get eternal I am a mortal but am i human ? How beautiful life is now when my time has come. A human destiny but nothing human inside. What'll be left of me when I'm dead, there was nothing when I lived. What you found was eternal death no one will ever miss you.

[ThePurefuckingMayhem]

these lyrics were written by Dead belive it or not

[IsraeliMetalhead]

By the lyrics,Im not surprised..

Dead was insane,he was also a genious musician and artist.

R.I.P and Hail Dead

[Batnobbit]

My favorite Mayhem song.

[Fraeg]

mango boy is more tr00 grim and frostbitten and kvlt than all of you donkey sniffers....

but seriously, the cd book that had this album in it got stolen, haven't re-bought all that got stolen from me. Nice to hear this song. thanks for posting it.

[zicho23]

They never sold out. They got mainstream due to massive media attention, but they did not sell out, Although they do suck since Euronymous died, however.

[apfelbrot2]

@zicho23 kinda: attila gave them sumwhat a short rebirth vocalvice and they first ep with maniac was rly angry but as we all know maniac is a doubag so mayhem official died after wolfs layr abyys

[sansiasa]

respect,you stupid burzumassholes,to euronymous and attila.along with dead were the true one about MAYHEM.hellhammer and necrobutcher just play for money and drugs and show disrespect to euronymous!

[spacepope87]

Go fuck yourself you faggot shit. Necrobutcher and Hellhammer are also true to mayhem.

[warmacedon]

Hellhammer and Necrobutcher are true MayheM members. I respect Dead to but if you reed some interviews with Mayhem members and old friends of them you will see that you need to blame Euronymous for Dead death. And Euronymous is guilt for his own death. Tell me if some one send you deaththreats to you and if you are fast with thinking you will do same like Varg do.

And i like vocals most of Maniac second for me is Dead and last is Attila

[h1r43th4l1v3]

@warmacedon why was euronymous responsable for dead's death?

[graziek]

@h1r43th4l1v3 dead's death is dead's birth.

[h1r43th4l1v3]

@graziek yeah , you're right

[excatos]

@h1r43th4l1v3 Varg Vikernes

[1Knife1Heart]

@h1r43th4l1v3 He encouraged him to do so :/ R.I.P. Dead.

[mortuus69]

Hail Burzum!!!

[cardboarddalek]

Ok...

[1Knife1Heart]

@sansiasa Sorry dude, I disagree, I believe that Dead and Necrobutcher had a good relationship, and when Euronymous pushed Dead into killing himself, Necrobutcher was infuriated, so that's why he left. I love Varg, Dead, and Euronymous, and if Euronymous wouldn't have pushed Dead into killing himself, I bet Varg never would have killed him and we wouldn't have lost Burzum for those years (not including the prison albums).

[Godenschemering7]

@1Knife1Heart Lost Burzum? Wasn`t Daudi Baldrs recorded behinnd bars? I liked that one. I don`t think Euronymous had any friends, and you are right that he actually wanted Dead to kill himself just so he could get publicity, what a rotten person.

[1Knife1Heart]

@Godenschemering7 Not meaning we "lost" Burzum per ce. More of, he had to wait to continue where he left off, know what I mean? And yeah, I agree, I still have to love Euronymous for what he's done for Black Metal, I mostly miss Dead, he seemed like such a fascinating guy... R.I.P. Dead and Euronymous.

[Godenschemering7]

@1Knife1Heart I know what you mean, and you`re right about Euronymous though I wish he hadn`t been such an idiot... and Dead was an especially gifted person, or rather cursed... whichever you chose. Agreed R.I.P Dead & Euronymous = the true Mayhem 1988 to 1991.

[1Knife1Heart]

@Godenschemering7 Agreed sir, too bad we couldn't have all of them still running Helvete. Have an excellent day kind sir! Hail Mayhem \m/!

[Godenschemering7]

@1Knife1Heart Thanks, you are a true Mayhem fan. I suppose the bitterness of their early departure is what most envalues the final album "Mysteriis"... despite the disheartening lack of Dead`s surreal vocals^^

[1Knife1Heart]

@Godenschemering7 Oh most definitely. Man, his vocals are just so... Hallow, yet emotionful, it's like a wave of energy pounded onto you... Not to mention his fantastic writing skills, he is an idol of monumental proportions.

[blackcheesyghoul]

YOU suck REALLY BAD,

how can you say such stupidities!!!! this is the last work of euronymous, and attila is probably the last member that have respect for what was euro!!!

THis album IS what represent the old days poor moron, do you know a shit about this album??? and gorgoroth is entirely in the new wave so just stfu

trve bm is only dead in the heart of meaningless cunts like you

[Demandred02]

You do no even explain your statements or have any decent arguments to support them.

This is the old mayhem and it's Attila who's singing, agreed I do not either like new mayhem so much but still... You are just pathetic to come mock mayhem in here or Atilla.

[spacepope87]

Nah, Mayhem lived on. Just not the sam.

[turgore]

its an amazing song of an amazing album ...their next albums were meh , sure they had a couple of great songs on each but still...

[cardboarddalek]

i just got life eternal, their rare demo. it has 5 of the amazing songs on this album but with VIKERNES ON BASS!!!!

[cobhc987654321]

this has vikernes on bass. if it had Varg, Euronymous and Dead that would be awesome haha

[cardboarddalek]

i dont understand you XD

[YahtzeeNazi]

This recording HAS Vikernes on bass. Hellhammer said he was going to re-record them but didn't.

[cardboarddalek]

Lol... Life Eternal :D

[jezuse]

yeh he picked up a bass...and sat there for hours thinking wtf

[MirkoDaeva]

Completely agree

[YahtzeeNazi]

This is my favorite Mayhem song of all time...gives me chills when I hear it. I like how you can actually hear Varg's bass playing in the mix, unlike most of the other songs.

I saw a student documentary on Mayhem that said they found these lyrics in Dead's suicide note, but that may not be true.

[tigrehacker]

that was true..the song was morelarge than was descripted on the documental..

[SeddikAndBlackMetal]

That's awesome but Gorgo' s cover was better

[alexapollo22]

There is this invention, Alex Chiu's Immortality Rings, claims to stop humans from aging and allow humans to stay physically young forever.

[FlamingMuffinz]

The song is good but I wish that the vocals were recorded differently. Here it sounds like you're trying to listen to music and some guy is talking to you.

[ivanpbl]

don't be so full of shit! vocal is perfect through this whole album! if it wasn't done this way,it would just another lame black metal! atilla is the greatest thing about mayhem!

[charlelie]

flamingmuffinz : I had the same feeling, but after reflexion, what kind of other vocals could have been put onto the music ? I think it's the only way to make the music sound this way. I mean if the vocals were like motorhead, or any trash metal band, the song wouldn't have been the same.

[EvilDescends]

well Euro did say they were trying to make an awesome album no matter how long it took, this was released in 94, and Mayhem was around since the mid 80's, this album was well thought out, and my Mayhem t shirt came in the mail today \m/

[5GoRinNoSho5]

But i think this album has great vocals it couldn't be better then this he sounds like possesed

[naygaharl]

In to the blooooood!

[Angloth]

They will never get back to this.. By the gods, i dont even think that they really realized what they had created at the time they released this.

[SeddikAndBlackMetal]

This is fucking great

[staticpeoplemusic]

atilla had a very grim style that you could respect though

tormentor was a fucking choice early bm band too

not arguing i respect the fuck out of dead because of his passion and sadness ....all hail the "true" mayhem at least they didn't sound like manic (a cat throwing up a hairball) haha...

[WhiplashDoogle]

It should have been Dead! His vocals were much more subtle than Attilla.

[MaYHeM1987666]

Dead was a legend in extreme/black metal + dark poetry!!! the only difference is that he lived up to his word and became DEAD ; P

[fylpa17]

metal re!!!!!!

[emperador1962]

you are right. venom belongs from NWOBHM. but they started the movement.

[Lordwarship]

"I am a mortal, but am I human? "

[ivanmontelongo]

That has to do with Dead, he killed himself because he believed he wasn't human and belonged in this world.

So yeah... just pointing that out

[graziek]

@ivanmontelongo masterpiece

[DiegoDLT]

@ivanmontelongo drugs would probably do that

[beyondXdead]

@ivanmontelongo

Actually Euronymous pressured dead into mostly. he did his best to make sure dead felt uncomftorble and he told him he should just kill him self. According to Necrobutcher.

[patatjejoppiesaus]

I love the bass, go Varg!

[neildonoghue]

fuckin love this song..classic!!!

[SlayerFanTillDeath]

Dead has the most perfect vocals in Black metal history!

[cuntalumpacus]

Per Yngve "dead" ohlin was an amazing singer, his personality as well as his atmosphere of music, and his shoes were big to fill man, but this album is unique and amazing and i wouldn't want anyone else to sing this song, the last song Dead ever wrote..than Attila

[SlayerTorsten]

Mayhem are from Norway, not England

[BMasterBM]

Thanks for posting the obvious

[BMasterBM]

never mind didnt read ahead

[emperador1962]

this is the first black metal band after venom from england. any doubt about it?

[cliffanddimebag]

venom isn't condider as a black metal band

[SlaktadOchStolt]

Yeah, Hellhammer, Bathory and Celtic Frost were all before Mayhem.

[blutchristus]

4:40 perfect riff, just perfect.

[david666metal]

MayheM Rules !!!!  \m/

[DormirinDementia]

This song is fucking amazing...if you like it, then you should check out Gorgoroth's version. Its not better or worse, its just different.

[skateanddie666]

attila is a good vocalist he sounds origanal

Btw Incesim deads suicide message was sorry for the mess =)

[Banahogg]

Pure fucking black metal!

[AllahCumshot786]

mayhem is one of d best black metal bands ever!

[Incesim]

This was Deads suicide message. they then used it for this song.

[horstherbert35]

LOL?

it wasn't deds suicide note.

try wikipedia, it helps^^

[homi72]

how great this would have been with Dead on vocals!

one cannot imagine

[LordIan254]

yea Attila is really good, such power in his voice you know?

[Simpson654]

No one will ever miss you.

[Simpson654]

Varg plays bass. He is my bassist ever, like Attila Czihar is my best vocalist ever... on this album two best guitarists ever play, and best drummer. Snorre and Euronymous play these songs, and Hellhammer plays the drums, while Attila does the vocals.

[dubasher]

Attila shreds. Varg kills it on this song, and Euronymous' guitar playing is superlative.

[Simpson654]

If you don't like Attila you don't know what black metal is all about. Attila Czihar is the greatest black metal vocalist there ever was, and he's still alive, and he came back to Mayhem.

[reaper585]

i dont like attila.... =/

[Nergal945]

Great song,im not so fan of attila but he did great on this song

[sadspirit1986]

2:36-3:10,4:05+ no words can describe this

[DarkZenMaster666]

No human can get on this fucking level

[CALYGAHN]

One of the best songs that have been created ! DarkZenMaster666 No human can get on this fucking level. I'm fucking with you !!! No one will ever reach this level.

[Dassault354]

i luv the tune, the guitars and the drums of this song, but i think they could do a better job of the vocals.

[sylvesta666]

hey man, the song is perfect,especially vocal,...no one will ever miss you....

[Dassault354]

well, listen from 2.10 to 2.19, you can't even understand what he's bloody well saying, he sounds like a deep voiced 4 year old trying to sing some tune he's just got off the top of his head.

[ThanatouTheos]

one of my favourite songs

[metalhead751]

pure fucking norwegion black metal non of that commercial bm sellouts (dimmu borgir)

[Dassault354]

fuck off, dimmu borgir are awsome! They're black metal is as good as any other. If they're so shit, why have they sold so many albums?

[Megadragon007]

Are You Stupid?

Que vendan mas no quiere decir que sean mejores, si solo te fijas en las ventas ve a escuchar a RBD. YOU ARE a POSER.

[vincentlovesmetal]

have some respect for dead. i now dimmu borgir is awesome. but this is a everlasting tribute to dead

and i fucking love mayhem dude. without mayhem there was no black metal. no black metal is no dimmu. r.i.p DEAD YOU WILL BE MISSED FAREWELL FRIEND YOU WHERE A PIONEER.

[XmetalmarcusX]

every vocalist Mayhem had kicked arse.

RIP Per Yngve Ohlin

[golgota849]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hh black metal

[juuhaa1]

Hail Mayhem,Hellhammerrrrr!

[cuntalumpacus]

lol why did some one give me a thumbs down thats the lyrics for the fuckin song

[cuntalumpacus]

Life EternalA dream of another existence you wish to die a dream of another world you pray for death to release the soul. One must die to find peace inside, you must get eternal I am a mortal but am i human ? How beautiful life is now when my time has come. A human destiny but nothing human inside. What'll be left of me when I'm dead, there was nothing when I lived. What you found was eternal death no one will ever miss you.

[graziek]

@cuntalumpacus Ferus Netandus Sacerdos Magus

[DecapitateTheChrist]

i thought they lowered vargs bass parts in this album? or was it another album?

[cuntalumpacus]

it was this album.

[DecapitateTheChrist]

then did they re-record the bass parts? or is that vargs shit

[666valek666]

it's varg bass lines lowered or not lol

[xxConstantinosxx]

its vargs

[Ascaroth68]

Bass part is awesome.

[atheist23]

to find peace inside

you must get eternaaaaaaaaaallll

[eldermisanthropy666]

this is the last song dead wrote, the last of the lyrics were found nxt to his corpse. i guess its a look into how he was feeling when he popped a shell into his brain lol

[infzpp]

best mayhems song ever

[Kairast]

PRAY FOR DEATH!!

[Blackermetalisk]

Countskoll, best comment ever :)

[Blackermetalisk]

musicobsessed, things will only get better if u try to make them better. Don't listen to Mayhem and don't fantasize about Dead. cheer up your situation instead.

[CountSkoll254]

to release the soul, one must die, to find peace inside you must get ETERNAAAAALLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SteelProphet]

What the f. are you doing here if you think death is all that cool.

[cuntalumpacus]

are you fuckin kiddin me, the real question is what are YOU doing here, if you don't think death is cool

[TwilitMourning]

I really like this song. I love the bass melody the sticks out from the heavy rhythmic crunch of the guitar. It makes for a good musical chemistry, I must say.

I only wish that guitar solo was a bit louder.

[pisanoso]

one of the best songs ever. \m/ \m/ hail EURONYMOUS!

[MayraCo0L]

Mayhem Mayhem Mayhem Life eternal sin duda uno0 de los mejores de mayhem Me†4|4€v3R ^^!

[MayraCo0L]

Mayhem DeaD livee Saludos pa toa la gente metal de AQP Lo max del black !

[Eakflanderyof]

nameless you obviously aren't cut out to listen to black metal

[crazysalah]

hail mayhem.

[muciallyobsessed]

Dead would answer my questions. I need his help so bad right now because no one else around me knows about this sort of stuff and dead would. I think dead and I would have a deep understanding for each other seeing as we are very alike.

[DecapitateTheChrist]

dead would hate a fag like you

[muciallyobsessed]

Beautiful Mayhem was only good on this and Live at Leizpig. Now they are no good. I wish I could have met dead when he was still alive. I have so many questions he could only answer because I am going through a lot of turmoil and need his help.

[insomnium92]

I don't think Dead would have any answers for you, that's why he commited suicide.
