Live in Leipzig


Live in Leipzig is a live album by the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem. It was recorded at the Eiskeller club in Leipzig, Germany on 26 November 1990 but not released until 1993. The songs performed during the concert were from the Pure Fucking Armageddon demo, the Deathcrush EP and the as-yet-unrecorded album De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas. It is one of the band's few official releases with Dead as vocalist, albeit posthumous. Similarly, the murder of Euronymous occurred barely a month after the release of Live in Leipzig, in early August.

Reception

critic Steve Huey wrote, "With a shortage of official Mayhem material featuring this lineup, it's a necessary item for devoted fans, even in spite of the less-than-ideal sound quality."
German magazine Rock Hard included it in the list "250 Black-Metal-Alben, die man kennen sollte".
