Grand Declaration of War is the second full-length studio album by the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem, released by Season of Mist and Necropolis Records on June 6, 2000.[3]
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.[citation needed] Nietzsche called Twilight of the Idols 'a grand declaration of war' („eine grosse Kriegserklärung“).[4]

Musical style[edit]
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'.[1] 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',[5] or at least were 'rather sceptical when it was known that [sic] MAYHEM should go on even without Dead or Euronymous'.[6] Many longtime Mayhem fans despised Blasphemer because 'he wasn't Aarseth'.[1] 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 [Into the] Pandemonium had done to thrash metal'.[1] 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'.[2]

Allmusic critic Alex Henderson wrote: 'Grand Declaration of War won't appeal to anyone with a short attention span, but for those who can sit down and really give this CD their undivided attention, the rewards are great.'[2]

Вот она - великая декларация этому ничтожному миру, декларация о неминуемом конце.
Она же и «Великое Объявление Войны», созданное одними из первопроходцев тяжелой музыки.
«Grand Declaration Of War» - один из лучших тру-блэковых альбомов, созданных на пороге времен, т.е. на границе тысячелетий. Что сразу бросается в глаза, так это символичная картинка, изображающая голубя, запутавшегося в колючей проволоке. Голубь - символ мира и спокойствия на Земле. Из этого следует, что мир находится на грани войны и название альбома только и подтверждает тематику этой работы. Еще здесь использована довольно интересная лирика. Я прямо аж зачитался. Ну, конечно, все в лучших традициях черного метала. Вот взять, хотя бы слова, с которых начинается сие гениальное творение:
