The Dawn of the Black Hearts[2] (subtitled Live in Sarpsborg, Norway 28/2, 1990) is a bootleglive album by the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem. The title originates from a line of lyrics Fenriz of Darkthrone wrote for the band.[3]

Despite being a bootleg, the album is sometimes listed as one of the band's main albums, mainly due to the notoriety regarding the cover art, which is an image of the late Mayhem vocalist Per 'Dead' Ohlin shortly after he commited suicide.[4][5] The image of his death was photographed by guitarist Euronymous via a disposable camera.

Cover[edit]

The album is infamous and controversial for bearing a photograph of vocalist Dead (Per Yngve Ohlin), shortly after his suicide in April 1991.[6] The photograph was taken by guitarist Euronymous (Øystein Aarseth), shortly after he entered the cabin the band shared and discovered the body.[7]

Euronymous took bits of Dead's skull and made them into necklaces for members of the black metal scene, including the band's drummer Hellhammer. Necrobutcher, the band's bassist, was so disgusted with Euronymous' actions that he left Mayhem. He was replaced by Burzum's Varg Vikernes, who murdered Euronymous two years later.

Release[edit]

The Dawn of the Black Hearts was released in 1995 on vinyl in a limited edition of 300 copies by Warmaster Records by Mauricio 'Bull Metal' Montoya, owner of Warmaster Records Colombia, original drummer of the Colombian death metal band Masacre and a pen pal of Euronymous. This original version contains eight songs from a concert in Sarpsborg on 28 February 1990, the recordings of which were captured without authorization from the band members. The original issue bears the band's logo and the album title in golden ink.

The album has been reissued many times by various bootleg record labels. The original pressing, titled The Dawn of the Black Hearts, had its title slightly altered on subsequent pressings with the first 'The' removed, rendering the title as simply Dawn of the Black Hearts. Many of these later versions and pressings of the album include four extra songs, which were recorded at the band's first-ever concert in Ski, Norway on 20 April 1985, with Messiah on vocals. Most of the re-releases erroneously claim that the additional songs come from a 1986 Lillehammer show with Maniac on vocals, but the band did not play live at all during that year, or indeed, for the rest of that decade. They would not play in Lillehammer until many years later (after Grand Declaration of War was released).

TheThe

Most recently, The Dawn of the Black Hearts was officially reissued in 2017 on vinyl under the name Live in Sarpsborg, using a photo of Necrobutcher as a new cover. This 2017 release uses improved audio from a master source.[8] In 2018, Live in Sarpsborg was one of many albums that were compiled into and released as the Cursed in Eternity box set, which features never-before-seen live footage of the Sarpsborg set.
