Arguably the defining album of Finnish "brutal black metal". Absolutely relentless and evil, but it's written and performed superbly, so both style and substance line up perfectly. Diabolus in Muzaka
The intro riff to Frigid and Spellbound is insanely good. Would recommend that everyone on this planet listen to it and experience this amazing album for themselves 🖤 Ensomhed
My first CD by Marduk, and 'Deme Quaden Thyrane' is still their best song. The riff starting at 1:40 is absolutely killer. It wasn't until later in life, after reading tons of history, that I realized the lyrics are based on Vlad the Impaler, or Dracula, infamous for his cruel and brutal punishments. 'Nightwing' is also a great track, but I haven't found anything else from Marduk that matches the ferocious melody of 'Deme'. Obsidian One
