MAYHEM - LITURGY OF DEATH

Metal Hammer gave the album a 4/5, saying: "Much like 2019's Daemon and its underrated presecessor Esoteric Warfare, Liturgy of Death proudly presents another alternative take on the band's pioneering but endlessly malleable output. Kerrang! also gave it 4/5, stating: "Even though you could not call the songs 'lean' – half of the eight clock in at over seven minutes and none under five – there is a sense that not a moment's wasted, everything is exactly where it needs to be." Invisible Oranges described the album as being the closest Mayhem will ever come to a direct sequel to their debut album De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.
