Mayhem Show Their Lighter Side on “Of Worms and Ruins”

Think you know Mayhem? Think again! Although the legendary Norwegian black metal pioneers have never exactly been known for their sense of humor, their new single, “Of Worms and Ruins,” includes lyrics that inarguably droll. Like, they’re almost a Steel Panther level of ridiculous:

Deified decay
Prostrate and receive
Purified through waste
Baptized in disease

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! See? I told you! This song is a LAFF RIOT, dudes.

“Of Worms and Ruins” will appear on Mayhem’s new album, Daemon, which comes out October 25 on Century Media. Pre-orders are here.
