Metal Wani reporter Jackie Mtz recently had a chat with Mayhem frontman Attila Csihar.

He discusses the recent North American tour in support of the classic album De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, fan response to the shows, how this record opened gates for various bands in the scene, his opinion of current Mayhem lineup and why it's the best since 90's.

He also talks about the current status of the upcoming album, why they prefer to take more time for this record, whether the recent tour will inspire band to write a 'back to the roots' record and why Mayhem is an outlet of expression for the members to create art.

He throws light on creative differences between Sun O))), Sinsaenum and Mayhem, challenges he is facing even after three decades of existence, whether the black metal scene is still evolving every decade, importance of playing intimate club shows over festivals and more.
