Notes
Songwriting for this album began in 1987, but due to the suicide of vocalist Per "Dead" Ohlin and the murder of guitarist Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth, the release was delayed until May 1994.
This is the band's only studio album to feature Aarseth and Varg "Count Grishnackh" Vikernes.
Vocalist Dead started to write the lyrics when he joined the band in 1988.
In 1990 studio versions of the songs "The Freezing Moon" and "Carnage" were recorded, appearing on the CBR Records compilation album Projections of a Stained Mind
Drummer, Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg, claimed that the lyrics of "Freezing Moon" were "meant to make people commit suicide".
Dead said in a 1989 interview by Marduk guitarist Morgan "Evil" Håkansson, published in Slayer fanzine, that by then he had written the lyrics for "Funeral Fog", "Freezing Moon", "Buried by Time and Dust" and "Pagan Fears"
Finished versions of these songs appeared on the album Live in Leipzig, a concert recording from November 1990 which was released in 1993.
It is considered one of the most influential black metal albums of all time.
In 2017, Rolling Stone ranked De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas as 40th on their list of 'The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time.
The title De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is a Latin phrase meaning "The Mystery of the Lord Satan", with "Dom" being an abbreviation of "Dominis", often used as an honorific prefix for ecclesiastics of the Catholic Church.
The album cover is a monochrome photo of the east side of Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway.

Show All 75 Reviews- This version is a collectors album. Through the booklet it get its worthness but the backcover contains like all versions the wrong birthdate of Euronymous. Not April 15th but March 22nd as it can be seen in his passport (link of proof on wikipedia) and tombstone.
- Better sounding pressing than I imagined. Drums especially are loud and crisp. Definitely a good addition to the collection.
- Slightly warped and skuffs over the grooves, not surprised since the record is pressed by Czech pressing plant GZ. It is incomprehensible to call this a great pressing. Most likely sourced straight from a CD album.
- Edited 3 months agoIt is the genre-defining DMDS album, on a nice digipak. I mean, no booklet with calligrapy, and the band logo seems to be cut on both sides on the front, but if you are lucky to find this gem for an affordable price (South America), get it! Otherwise, it is the DMDS album, nothing more, so any generic reissue for 10 bucks brings the same music, just not on digipak.
- This sounds quite good to my ears. I especially find the drums to have deep impact coming from my Klipsch Cornwall's. Overall a great pressing of this album. Flat no surface noise, good instrument seperation and clarity.
- Hi Guys, does anyone know if this edition is any different to the 2010 transparent purple edition? I mean this one:
https://www.discogs.com/release/2683492-Mayhem-De-Mysteriis-Dom-Sathanas
Thanks! - Good luck reading the text on this gatefold. Dark purple text on black background was a great decision.
- https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Mayhem/De_Mysteriis_Dom_Sathanas/858192 What the hell is this? Someone uploaded a listing - and has a picture taken - of an alleged Season Of Mist label 2002 vinyl pressing of this album. The album is simply black with an embossed purple Mayhem logo. This has to be a bootleg, right?
- the color of the vinyl I own for this pressing is dark transparent purple, looks black without holding it to a light source. any others have copies that dark? the copy shown in the uploaded pics looks almost pink in comparison
