Dawn of the Black Hearts is a bootleg album by Norwegian black metal band Mayhem. It is infamous for bearing a real photo of late singer Dead's corpse after his suicide with a shotgun and a knife.

Originally released on LP by Mauricio Montoya who played in Colombian death metal band Masacre and was also the owner of Warmaster Records in Colombia. The original version has golden letters on the cover and was limited to 300 copies. Illegally reissued many times afterwards, making it one of the most bootlegged albums in metal history. Re-released in a DVD case as release number 001 on Anti-Grishnackh Records.

Tracks 1 through 8 were recorded live in Sarpsborg 1990, and tracks 9 through 12 in Lillehammer 1986. It may be noted that the 4 tracks from Lillehammer are covers. Tracks 9 and 11 are by Celtic Frost and 10 and 12 are by Venom.
