Grand Declaration of War
''Grand Declaration of War'' is the second full-length studio album by the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem, released by Necropolis Records on 6 June 2000.
The album's title and some of the lyrics are taken from the writings of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, particularly his books ''Twilight of the Idols'' and ''The Antichrist''. Nietzsche called ''Twilight of the Idols'' "a grand declaration of war" (''„eine grosse Kriegserklärung“'').〔Friedrich Nietzsche: ''Sämtliche Werke''. Kritische Studienausgabe in 15 Bänden. Herausgegeben von Giorgio Colli und Mazzino Montinari. Volume 6: ''Der Fall Wagner'' u.a. Neuausgabe 1999, DTV, p. 58.〕

In his book ''Mean Deviation: Four Decades of Progressive Heavy Metal'', Jeff Wagner wrote that ''Grand Declaration of War'' features "a variety of vocal shadings to match the multi-layered music", between "A Time to Die", described by Wagner as "one minute and forty-eight seconds of black calculus", "A Bloodsword and a Colder Sun" offering "squishy electronic groove, so close to trip-hop that it instantly became the album's most controversial track" and the "mesmerizing ten-minute sprawling landscape of doom" "Completion in Science of Agony". The album's "sonic clarity" was "a complete 180-degree turn" from the band's early "scuzzy 'necro' approach".〔Jeff Wagner, Steven Wilson: (''Mean Deviation: Four Decades of Progressive Heavy Metal'' ). Brooklyn, NY: Bazillion Points Books 2010, p. 252.〕 Parts of the black metal scene had hoped Mayhem would not reform after the murder of the original guitarist Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth as "that would not be right",〔''De Mysteriis Dom Euronymous''. In: Jon Kristiansen: ''Metalion: The Slayer Mag Diaries''. Brooklyn, NY: Bazillion Points Books 2011, p. 282.〕 or at least were "rather sceptical when it was known that t ''()'' MAYHEM should go on even without Dead or Euronymous".〔''Mayhem''. In: Jon Kristiansen: ''Metalion: The Slayer Mag Diaries''. Brooklyn, NY: Bazillion Points Books 2011, p. 477.〕 Many longtime Mayhem fans despised Blasphemer because "he wasn't Aarseth".〔 Jeff Wagner calls ''Grand Declaration of War'' "Mayhem's own ''Into the Pandemonium'', an album that had perverted and turned inside out the black metal genre as Celtic Frost's (the'' ) ''Pandemonium'' had done to thrash metal".〔 Alex Henderson of ''Allmusic'' stated that the band "has outdone itself with the epic ''Grand Declaration of War'', which could arguably be described as black metal's equivalent of Queensryche's ''Operation: Mindcrime''".〔
