In related MAYHEM news, vocalist Attila Csihar recently earned the number eleven spot of Loudwire's Top 25 Extreme Metal Vocalists, the website writing, "Each MAYHEM vocalist has left his stamp on metal's perhaps most infamous band, but none have been more impactful than Attila Csihar. His efforts on the band's groundbreaking De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas debut added a layer of fog to the album's ghastly atmosphere with an out of body experience performance...."

The cornerstone De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas was listed among Revolver Magazine's 20 Essential Black Metal Albums while the record earned the #40 spot on Rolling Stone Magazine's 100 Greatest Metal Albums Of All Time. Further illuminating the keystone offering, the band self-released De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Alive late 2016 on CD, DVD, LP, and digitally. Captured in Norrköping, Sweden in 2015 during the band's headlining set at the Black Christmass Festival, the show marked MAYHEM's first time ever playing De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas in full.
