The following content belong to their respective owners. I do NOT take any credits for the video. The video is totally fan-made. And I made this video out of my sheer love and respect for MAYHEM. I love Black Metal, I love MAYHEM. Got some of the VHS in my basement. Covered in dust, severed. I tried to recover what I could. Most of the VHS tape recording was ruined though. Some of the footage is downloaded from torrent, some from YouTube and some from ONIONs (wink wink). If you want to see all the footage I recovered, please write it in the comments. Thought it would be cool if I do the video in a VHS glitching fashion, you know, to get the second wave Norwegian Black Metal vibe. This version of Freezing Moon is often overlooked as it doesn't have the best production quality. And I've always thought it lacks a good video to go with it. So I tried to make one. I made the artificial glitches using After Effects CC 2017 (please note, I've a license for the software, its not cracked) and Premier Pro. Now, some info on the band : Mayhem is a Norwegian black metal band formed in 1984 in Oslo, Norway. They were one of the founders of the Norwegian black metal scene and their music has strongly influenced the black metal genre. Mayhem's early career was highly controversial, primarily due to their notorious live performances, the 1991 suicide of vocalist Per Yngve Ohlin ("Dead") and the 1993 murder of guitarist Øystein Aarseth ("Euronymous") by former member Varg Vikernes ("Count Grishnackh"), of Burzum. Some facts on Black Metal. I got in in a comment section of a video. I don't remember where. But I loved the essay and saved it. "Mayhem's music was designed to be repulsive (the design still works, heh), to fend off normies from the TRVE KVLT BLACK METAL SCENE, but Øystein Årseth (Euronimus) still somehow insisted and persuaded the other guys that they were going to get rich with this soon (he himself was kinda the rich bitch of the whole scene, being supported by the family he just spent their money keeping a music shop that was unprofitable, somewhat financing the Mayhem stuff, the other guys were close to be dirt poor). Not getting rich as the time passed predictably created a lot of frustration in the band, but as I am typing these words, I am thinking: may be it was also a part of the design, and the accumulating frustration reinforced the repulsiveness of the music? Quite brilliant, if you think about it. The outcomes of this accumulating frustration are already the commonplace knowledge. The other part of the controversy is the fact that Mayhem's music is arguably AKTUALLY not really black metal, more like extreme metal, not yet diverged into its three main branches: death, black, and doom metal. This is both on the level of form, and on the level of content. Make no mistake, Øystein Årseth himself was not only an ideological key figure in the BM milleu: he and another guitarrist, Snorre Ruch of the band Thorns, invented the tremolo picking that has become the basic audial form of black metal (that and the blastbeat drumming, of course). Ironically enough, Mayhem's early records do not showcase either tremolo picking or blastbeating too much still having a lot of connections witn slow death metal and doom metal. On the level of contents, although death, and cold, and anguish in general aare still something that belongs to the black metal scope of topics, black metal being lyrically connected to the European Romanticism is not quite complete without the Satanic and Norse mythology, as well as without the themes of veneration and adoration of the Nature and its Spirit as opposed to Man. In that way Euronimous, and Mayhem, and the fuzz around the so called Inner Black Circle may have kickstarted the Black Metal Genre in spirit, I would say that its flesh and bone (lyrcal and technical / tonical components of the music -- I'll let you decide whichever is flesh, and whichever is bone) was secured more by Varg's Burzum and Fenriz's / Nokturnoculto's Darkthrone (as was secured Varg's militant Antichristian influence and Fenriz's more intravert / escapist / somewhat autistic approach; although the both approaches were to a degree characteristic to both projects); then came Emperor, Immortal, Enslaved, and Satyricon, and the Hell broke loose. I mean, it's really not that hard to make a note that the scales, the tunes in the Western European black metal all around heir more to Darkthrone, Burzum, Emperor, Immortal, Enslaved, and Satyricon rather than to early Mayhem. #BLACKMETAL #FreezingMoon #Mayhem
