Norwegian black metal icons Mayhem have unveiled another new track from their forthcoming seventh studio album, Liturgy Of Death.
A visualizer for the song Despair is available below.
The album is slated for a February 06th release.

While the band didnt offer their own commentary on the track, a press release provided the following insight into its role on the record:
Liturgy Of Death explores the philosophy of mortality with stark, uncompromising clarity.
The album presents death not as an ending, but as a universal law that touches all life and exposes the fragility of human existence.
This impermanence becomes a call to live with full intensity, for every gain and loss ultimately falls back into the same silence.
Echoing ancient philosophies, the album portrays life as a transitional state and death as a gateway to a higher form of being,
while the solemn, dark beauty of death permeates the entire work.

Despair captures this vision in its most visceral form.
The track unravels the collapse of being through ritualistic chants,
Latin invocations, and blistering blast beats that echo like the pulse of annihilation.
Attilas vocals summon an ancient, fatal truth:
the fading of light,
the inevitability of death,
and the recognition of human fragility.
Despair stands as the albums stark revelation
the moment where death is not feared but understood.
