Attila Csihar of Mayhem Talks 'Liturgy Of Death', Joey Jordison and 40 Years of Black Metal on The Loaded Radio Podcast

The pioneers of True Norwegian Black Metal return. Attila Csihar joins The Loaded Radio Podcast to discuss mayhem's seventh studio album, Liturgy Of Death, arriving February 6, 2026. In this visceral interview, Attila reflects on the band's 40-year legacy of church burnings, murder, and the bleak reality of mortality. 

There is "heavy," and then there is Mayhem. Sitting across from Attila Csihar for this episode of The Loaded Radio Podcast, the air in the room felt different. You aren't just talking to a vocalist; you are talking to a man who stepped into the center of a literal crime scene and helped forge it into a global movement.

Liturgy Of Death (2026) is a merciless record that turns the focus toward the finality of existence. It is dark, fast, and entirely without solace. But to understand where they are going, you have to look at the wreckage they left behind. From the suicide of Dead to the internal war that led to the death of Euronymous, this isn't just music—it's a survival story from the darkest corners of the human psyche.

Stick around after the interview for a segment that has been generating a lot of buzz. Host Scott Penfold delivers an incredibly entertaining and in-depth breakdown of the "Bands to Watch in 2026." If you're tired of the same three bands headlining every "new music" playlist, Scott's look at the up-and-coming hard rock and metal acts is the definitive roadmap you need. This isn't a list generated by an algorithm—it's a curated look at the next generation of chaos.
