I. 1982/83 - 1984
Unofficially, Mayhem was born in 1982/1983 when Øystein started to play with friends in their primary school.
Øystein had already the name "Mayhem" before he could play a note.
Contrary to some other stories, the name came from the news columns on page two in "Kerrang".
At the time, the lineup was :
- Øystein : Guitars
- Glenn Larsen : Bass
- Espen Mortensen : Drums
- Truls (?) : Singer
And a second guitarist..
They made only a few rehearsal and the first Mayhem gig ever was at a school party.
They just played different metal covers and the closest thing to black metal was a cover of Venom : "Evil in league with Satan".
This lineup existed for about 8/10 months.
One of their last rehearsal was on May 17, 1984.
A couple of weeks later, Øystein met Jørn, he showed him the rehearsal place, talk a lot together and decided to make a band.
They asked to Nils Svensson if he was interested to join them as singer.
They had some rehearsals in the "Old Barn" in Langhus but after a while, Nils decided to leave the band because the style they wanted to play was not his cup of tea.
Nils was replaced for a short period by a guy named Stele.

No singer anymore, the Mayhem lineup was :
Øystein : guitar

They made some rehearsals and recorded some demos.

According to the band, Messiah played vocals only for a concert, which took place in April 1986 in Ski.

In February/March 1987, the band recorded the EP Deathcrush at Creative Studio in Koboltn, with Maniac and Messiah on vocals.

The sticker on the wall is the one of a death metal band named "Matricide", from United States.

Øystein was going to Antibes, in South-East of France to meet Agressor and make some trades.
He traded several copies of "Deathcrush" against copies of "Licensed to Thrash - split Loudblast/agressor" with Alex.
Thank you Alex ;)
