Live in Leipzig

Live in Leipzig is a live album by the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem. It was recorded at the Eiskeller club in Leipzig, Germany on November 26, 1990. However, the album was not released until 1993. The songs performed during the concert were from the demo Pure Fucking Armageddon, Deathcrush (1987) and the yet-to-be-recorded De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (1994). It is one of the few official or bootleg albums to feature Dead as vocalist.

This album became infamous in the black metal underground due to the great lengths that the band took to present the atmosphere they intended. The show featured intentional wrist slitting by Dead and several graphic props; such as severed pig heads impaled on wooden spikes, and pieces of rotting meat being tossed into the audience.
