Attila Csihar, the singer of Mayhem, believes he has the final recordings of Joey Jordison, who died in 2021. Among them is an unreleased cover of Radio-Activity by Kraftwerk, recorded for an industrial metal project called Electhrone, with Jordison on drums.
“I think I have his very last recordings”
In a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Csihar discusses their shared passion for industrial music and the tracks they recorded together.
“Electhrone was more geared towards industrial metal, and I think I have his very last recordings. We covered Radio-Activity by Kraftwerk, with Joey on drums, as well as Assimilate by Skinny Puppy for my friend Nysrok Infernalien and his band Alien Vampires.”
The cover of Assimilate was released on Alien Vampires’ 2023 album Return Me To Hell. Their version of Radio-Activity remains unreleased.
Csihar explains that they had planned to continue collaborating. “We had planned to do more, but everything remained at the demo stage. I miss him enormously. I invoke him alongside Euronymous and Dead, and invite them to Mayhem shows, like spirits from beyond.”
Jordison and Csihar also played together in Sinsaenum, which released two albums featuring both musicians, Echoes Of The Tortured (2016) and Repulsion For Humanity (2018). Dismissed from Slipknot in 2013, Jordison died in July 2021 at the age of 46.
