MARDUK

LA GRANDE DANSE MACABRE

Blooddawn

2001

The theme of the new Marduk album 'La Grande Danse Macabre' is this time not war, but death and then we need a macabre and exploding atmosphere. The previous album 'Panzer Division'  had more a war atmosphere. As the intro 'Ars Moriendi' is done we can hear the raging song 'Azreal', this song sounds much like the previous stuff. But that changes fast!! The next song is 'Pompa Funebris 1600' this song is a slow and instrumental song, and then the song 'Obedience Into Death' good song with extreme and parts mid-tempo riffs. This song made me think of the 'Nightwing'-album. In such a song you can actually find everything that Marduk makes special: nice breaks, great riffs and a good chorus. 

The bloody 'Death Sex Ejaculation' keeps the tempo up, and makes me think of the SM-theme on the mini-cd 'Obedience', the lyrics are about a girl that fucks Satan. The quite boring song 'Summers End' makes me think of the band Morgan and sounds like it has been forgotten to make an end included to the song. 

Conclusion, good album, worth to buy.
