Tormentor, Necrofier, True Iron Will

Attila Gábor Csihar could be black metal’s Ozzy Osbourne – ground zero. As high priest of Mayhem’s BM bible De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas in 1994, the Budapest-born oracle, 54, still fills venues, including Mohawk last month, where said Norwegian legacy act concluded Decibel magazine’s annual road binge. Every human in the venue bought a Mayhem tee that night. Csihar leading avant-glaciers Sunn O))) – no less sensory. Tormentor remains his first BM vehicle, born in 1985 Hungary, and 2020’s live Covid Witchfuck Tatabánya preserves the group’s lo-fi heresy, sure to blow out the gratefully undead walls of 29SBR with Houston‘s Necrofier, who pit-crushed Mohawk’s inside room in January. True Iron Will opens. – Raoul Hernandez
