The mighty Mayhem will return this summer with a brand new EP release, titled Atavistic Black Disorder / Kommando. The outing contains an additional material from the Daemon sessions, including a homage to bands that laid the foundation for what was to come. The cover artwork was once again handled by Italian designer Daniele Valeriani who already took care of the artwork for their previous long player Daemon. The EP will be released on July 9th through Century Media Records.

"I always had some punk influences," says Attila. "I guess it comes from my childhood when we were constantly looking for more extreme music. That's how I discovered Dead Kennedys, GBH, The Exploited, Sex Pistols, U.K. Subs, Discharge, Rudimentary Peni and so on, in the early 80's, alongside heavy metal. But then I discovered Venom, that was a game changer!"

Necrobutcher further adds: "We got some extra time in the studio recording the Daemon album two years ago, all band members were asked to punch in two cover tracks for some extra material. I chose songs by Deathstrike (The Truth) and Death (Evil Dead) which were both used as the bonus tracks on the album. My other contribution was to bring in two old members because of their obvious connection with punk: Maniac on the Dead Kennedys track and Billy (Messiah) on the Discharge track and some of the others."
