When Mayhem vocalist Dead killed himself in 1991, the Norwegian band’s founding guitarist Euronymous, upon finding the corpse, allegedly went cannibal. Two years later, Euronymous was murdered by Burzum frontman Varg Vikernes while the pair had been working on a plan to blow up a cathedral with its roots in the 11th century. At this point, you’re asking yourself, “What does all this Scandinavian tragedy masquerading as farce and death metal have to do with the Ford Motor Company?”
As it turns out, possibly only everything. Ford launched a Facebook contest to rename the Mustang V-6 Performance Package, and after more than 3000 submissions, “Mayhem Mustang Package” is the moniker that rose to the top of the heap. The specs themselves remain the same: the 305-hp standard-equipment V-6, remapped stability control, a 3.31 rear pumpkin, a strut-tower brace, and brake/suspension bits sourced from the GT (the rear lower control arms come from the GT500), plus unique 19-inch wheels shod with Pirelli rubber. Fitting the lot to a 2012 Mustang costs $1995.
Given that the winning submission came from somebody Ford’s describing only as a “North Carolina resident,” we’re wondering if noted metal aficionado and Durham denizen John Darnielle of indie-rock darlings the Mountain Goats hasn’t just found himself a free three-year lease on a Mayhem-equipped Mustang, the prize for submitting the winning name. If so, we’re hoping he springs for an airbrushed Euronymous-death-mask hood mural.
