I always thought that the Christian Satan was Samyaza, the “infamous rebel” who was once Satanel. Then again, Samael, the angel of death, tempter and blind god is also seen as Satan. Satan is a lot of things and appears to be any entity that isn’t the Christian God.

So, black metal sucks because a lot of the bands use “facepaint”?
Uhh…yeah…that’s like saying you hate old thrash bands some of the band members wore bullet belts.

I agree Daniel Guzman – Romans was an epic album. Hail Marduk!

I can’t wait for this album, Arioch/Mortuus is one of the greatest vocalists of black metal. BTW love the new track; hope the new album measures up, they really set the bar high with the last album.

Corpse paint has been extremely watered down, primarily by western bands. Marduk (despite being Swedish) we’re one of the early forerunners of the second wave of black metal alongside Dark Throne and Mayhem (I’m talking late 80′s early 90′s) and they haven’t watered down their sound one bit, in fact they’ve gotten even more evil and extreme. So if anything, Marduk wearing corpse paint is staying true to their roots. With that said I kind of miss Legion era Marduk (Panzer Division, as well as live albums with hillarious song introductions). For their raw and stripped down approach I feel they’ve gotten a bit too fast for their own good and don’t quite pull it off as convincingly as say a band like 1349 (first 3 records). Not hating on Marduk as I’m sure I’ll end up at the Reggie’s show in Chicago (I’ve played there a bunch) so I can chant “We feel nothing… And are nothiiiing!!!” With everyone else. Just saying I feel like lately they’re playing fast for the sake of fast and it lessens the impact a bit for me. Whatever… Black Fucking Metaaaal!!

This kind of reminds me when I learned that “Megadeath” wasn’t just a cheesy put toghether title for the band, its an actual word to describe a large number of people dieing at once due to a mass catastrophe like a nuclear bomb . . . metal dudes are smart!

and btw Kyle, the CORPSE paint may be a bit obsolete at this point, but there is a hell (no pun intended) of a lot more to black metal then just the image.

My friends and I discovered black metal by buying a Marduk album that had a cd-rom video. We thought it was the funniest shit ever. For this reason I can never take Marduk seriously.

Funny stuff…although you may be giving the majority of your readership a little too much credit in assuming that they would know what “quixotic” means.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLz

Gonna be a great tour: Marduk, Nachtmystium AND Merrimack. Can’t go wrong. Glad to see the Toronto date is at a smaller venue than the Mayhem show was, too.

I read the opening passage, snorted coffee on my keyboard from laughing, and my co-workers were like, What the Hell is wrong with you?

Damn you, Axl.

Thats a pretty sweet tour although i’d really be going for Nachtmystium. Shame its in America, I’d kill to see those guys in England.
