Featuring the trio of Manheim, Necrobutcher \u0026amp; Euronymous, this is a cult rehearsal space recording including now timeless tracks \u0026amp; staples of the Mayhem live set such as the ‘Pure Fucking Armageddon’ track itself \u0026amp; ‘Carnage’, plus also features a cover of Venom’s genre-defining ‘Black Metal’. With a sound delivered in its most primal, raw \u0026amp; chaotic form, this stands as undoubtedly an influential early classic of Norwegian extremity. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition of ‘Pure Fucking Armageddon’ coincides with the 40th anniversary of the band \u0026amp; is presented on CD format, containing the original classic cover artwork as well as a booklet with words from Necrobutcher plus rare images \u0026amp; featuring a recent tape source transfer. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOUTHBOUND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40425711730889,"sku":"449975","price":25.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/7120\/7498\/files\/449975-Product-0-I-638917036892815419.jpg?v=1756111813","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.co.nz\/products\/cd-mayhem-pfa-demo-cd","provider":"JB Hi-Fi NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
