Mayhem (often called 'The True Mayhem') is a
black metal band, formed in
1984 in
Oslo, Norway. The band name is taken from the
Venom song, Mayhem with Mercy. Much controversy has followed the various
murders,
suicides and other forms of
violence that surrounded the band in the early years. Mayhem is considered one of the most controversial bands in modern musical history, especially due to the vast number of urban legends and myths surrounding their early years, and the controversies have often overshadowed the music, especially in recent years due in part to the
Internet and
magazine articles.
