Mayhem’s Attila Csihar Believes He Has Late Slipknot Drummer Joey Jordison’s Final Recordings

Mayhem frontman Attila Csihar claims to possess the final recordings of former Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison. Csihar and Jordison had collaborated in the blackened death metal band Sinsaenum, which the drummer formed in 2016 before passing away at the age of 46 in 2021. It was during this period that Csihar and Jordison contemplated launching a new band called Electhrone, one that would incorporate goth and industrial influences.

Speaking to Metal Hammer, Csihar shared, "Joey had a unique taste in music, because he didn’t just know all the metal bands but the industrial and goth-like bands. Bands like Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly and Suicide Commando, who were inspirational to me when I was in Plasma Pool." He further elaborated, "Electhrone was more of an industrial metal kind of thing and I think I have his last recordings ever.

We did covers of Kraftwerk’s 'Radio-Activity' with Joey on drums and Skinny Puppy’s 'Assimilate,' which we did for my friend Nysrok Infernalien and his band Alien Vampires, who I played with in Aborym." Csihar added, "We were supposed to do more though, and it's all only at the demo stage. I really miss him. I invoke him alongside [late Mayhem members] Euronymous and Dead and invite him to the Mayhem shows as the people from the beyond."

Mayhem's most recent album, Liturgy of Death, was released in February 2026 and was deemed one of the 20 best metal & hard rock albums of the year by the publication in June. The late Jordison, for his part, made it to No. 27 on Consequence's list of the 100 Best Drummers of All Time.
