Surprise?

Well, well, where should I start?

After the unexpected exit of Legion, people were worried. His work as frontman in Marduk was beyond any kind of judgement; easily his name appeared in every top list of the best vocalists in the Black Metal scene. And then he leaves... the fans started to have doubts about the future of Marduk.

The new vocalist was announced: Mortuus. Right after that, Marduk releases Plague Angel, an album full of controversies. It was clear that Mortuus' vocals were quite different than Legion's. Lots of people were disapointed with the new face of Marduk; they said no one could replace Legion, that Marduk was over... Well, they were wrong.

Here we have Rom 5:12. I can't write about this album without mention Mortuus' performance. It is just OUTSTANDING (yeah, with capital letters). The recording quality is better than Plague Angel, and his voice was highlighted. Then we could see what Mortuus was able to do; to make a fine definition, seems like a mummy woke up after thousands of years in deadly sleep and started to vomit words. It is pure violence and wrath, just what Black Metal demands.

The rest of the band, we all know them well. Fast, heavy, brutal Black Metal... 1st class material. To own this CD is almost an obligation for all who knows a good stuff. Listen it from the beginning 'til the end is quite an experience. The playlist selection is great, seems like we're listening to one big song, mixing fast moments (Cold Mouth Prayer, Through The Belly Of Damnation, Limbs Of Worship...) and slow groovy songs (Imago Mortis and the excellent Accuser, Opposer, with the nice participation of Primordial's Naihmass Nemtheanga).

I wasn't so impressed by a particular album in a long time. Rate 5/5.

Marduk at their peak

I have always enjoyed Marduk. They put the most insanely fast song followed by an evil slow song. They give you a little bit of everything. Rom 5:12 is no different. Now lead singer Mortuus vomits words out of his mouth instead of just the normal Legion growl. Listen to Accuser/Opposer and you will see what I mean. Their trend continues and it continues for the better.
