The group '''Mayhem''' probably marks the darkest chapter in metal
Forming in the mid-1980s and taking their name from a song by the band [[Venom (
A suicide note was left that said "[[Deadpan Snarker|Excuse all the blood]]". Euronymous, doing what any of us might have done when faced with such a difficult situation, took a disposable camera, moved some objects around, and took a picture of the corpse, the photo eventually winding up on the cover of the infamous bootleg "Dawn of the Black Hearts". He was also said to have kept pieces of Dead's brain, which he used as ingredients in a stew, and some shards of his skull. which he sent as gifts to "worthy" bands within the Black Metal scene (kind of like the True Cross, but more brutal). Guitarist Morgan S. Hakansson of Sweden's Marduk is said to treasure one to this day. Euronymous admitted to taking shards of the skull, but not any of the brain (because ''that'' would just be sick), though he did say that he wanted to.

Blasphemer has since left the band, owing to his various other projects (such as Ava Inferi), and was replaced by a succession of live guitarists (among them Morfeus and Teloch).

* [[Book Ends]] - A more unconventional example. ''Grand Declaration of War'' is a sequel to their ''Wolf's Lair Abyss'' EP. The saga as a whole is divided into three sections: I (''Wolf's Lair Abyss''), II (the first half of ''Grand Declaration of War'') and III (the second half). A riff appears at the very end of "Symbols of Bloodswords", the last track from ''Wolf's Lair Abyss'', and the album fades out. "A Grand Declaration of War", the first track of part II of the saga fades in with the same riff shifted up a semitone. The riff appears for the third and final time at the start of the track "View from Nihil (Part II of II)", followed by some spoken word vocals and a sample of a nuclear bomb detonating. This concludes part II of the entire saga.
