Penitencia / Diabolica – Diabólica Penitencia CD Esoteric Warfare is the fifth

Esoteric Warfare is the fifth full-length studio album by Norwegian black metal band Mayhem

Originally having released a handful of recordings under the name

These early demo tracks encompass the signature attack of what would remain a constant in later output

when black metal was climbing out of its sensational days and etching a new language into the wider metal landscape
