Mayhem - Deathcrush

Norwegian black metal band essential in the "second wave." Mayhem's first release. Euronymus (later to be stabbed to death by one man band Burzum) on guitar, Necrobutcher on bass, Maniac on vocals, and Manheim on drums. This was pretty much the first black metal album I heard, and it peaked my interest in the band and the somewhat shrouded deaths of its members -- Mayhem's next vocalist, Dead, was "found" by Euronymus haven taken a shotgun to his head. Euronymus claims to have taken pieces of Death's skull and made necklaces of them, but who knows. Anyway, good album.
