MARDUK

Release Year: 2018
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: relentless intense menacing black metal

severe discipline and breeding madness - the two conceptual parts unite to give birth to this utter black metal monstrosity: the fifth Marduk album [1998] consists of two chapters: the second The Warlord of Wallachia tells the story of certain Vlad Dracul, cruel historical person that later turned into a mythological character related to vampires, where music twists and turns from very aggressive to deeply ritualistic, while the opening Dictionnaire Infernal is traditionally relentless and fast-paced hysteria, familiar from the past works, proving nothing can stop this machine of extremity; once again recorded in Abyss Studio with Peter Tägtgren at the knobs, these ten compositions sound solid, intense and competently executed; recent French gatefold sleeve black 180g vinyl edition is limited to 200 units
