Holy shit, that is him. I remember my mom yelling at me to turn the channel when I watched Married with Children as a kid hahaha. What's funny about that pic is that he hasn't changed since high school hahaha.

good review Wiz. One of my friends listens to Marduk alot, but I'm rather indifferent. Some good tunes, some bad ones, nothing really spectacular. Prolly won't look this up

Good description of this band hahaha. Thanks dude.

Phosphorous Redeemer has one of the most bad-ass basslines i've ever heard in a black metal song.

Album Rating: 3.5

"And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter." (Revelation 8:10, 11)





That's why the album was called Wormwood.

I don't know what the reviewer is talking about, I love Mortuus.

Hey Karl V.H., I just thought I'd let you know that the band probably didn't name this album after the hallucinogen Wormwood, they were probably referring to the star in the book of Revelation that crashes into the Earth and poisons one third of waters and causes mass destruction and blah blah blah.



So, since they're black metal and it would make more sense anyway, they were probably going for a more "apocalyptic" sound, rather than "hallucinogenic." Just thought I'd let you know, but still good review. I definitely agree that this is an average, uninspired black metal album. Cheers!

Thank you for that, I should have done a bit more research probably but the album doesn't warrant my time, so I don't feel too bad. I do remember reading something a while back about them talking about the Absinthe....I think. Anyways, cheers and thanks for the comment.

I can't stand Marduk either, but I'll bet the wormwood reference is biblical...

lol nevermind...

Wormwood is another name for 'Planet-X' 'Nibiru' and 'Marduk' the supposed comet headed to Earth on the date 21.12.2012

One of the best Marduk albums. IMO.

the sound effects on Chorus of Cracking Necks are fucking nasty

"Chorus Of Cracking Necks"



What a song title

Album Rating: 3.5

This is an underrated release. They really tried to slow it down and inject some sinister melody (dare is say catchiness) with this release. An interesting choice following the brutal masterpiece which was Rom 5:12. Once again, Mortuus vocals steal the show. If you think this a weak point in their doscography, give it another chance.

Album Rating: 3.5

Funeral Dawn is one of the few Marduk tracks that gets stuck in my head.
