You know Legion was really a dedicated front man with a recognizable voice but Mortuus had really shown expertise and dedication as well. That's hard, to get on stage every night and perform like that for 45 days in a row.
Heydrich. Yeah, he actually started by setting up a card table and buying a little recipe card box and packs of recipe cards. He was warned by contemporaries b4 he died to quit being so arrogant and taking the same route to work at the same time in the car with the top down. Imagine dying Not frm the actual bullet, but from the horsehair seat stuffing the bullet pushed into his back. ouch!
Mortuus by far has the best black metal vocals. I'm so tired of hearing clones in the genre, his weird scream/growling style is so brutal and extreme. Marduk fucking rules.
ROM 5:12 is MUCH better than you described it. It is actually way better than Wormwood! Also, you didn't give enough credit to World Funeral, and completely missed pinpointing it's very few bad parts and failed to understand good parts. Additionally, you didn't mention the significance of the trifecta of Nightwing-Panzer-LaGrande them being a nod to Bathory's "philosophy of metal" that it should be about Blood-Fire-Death!
Marduk, probably the BM band I have seen live the most. The first time was on their Opus Nocturne tour, yes I am that old. That was also the first and last time they played songs from Dark Endless live. Their best preformance was the 25 year anniversary show of Those Of The Unlight. The played that whole album in consecutive order and finished it off with the whole Panzer Division album.
Great video. I happen to adore Rom 5:12, and Mortuus' vocals, but the great thing about this is you express yourself and we don't all have to agree. That's the beauty of it. And what you said at the end is spot on. Nice to hear some common sense for a change.
Rom was awesome and Mortuus is great. And the song is called Accuser/Opposer, not Accuser/Oppressor. But otherwise I mostly agree, it's cool to hear Serpent Sermon get the love it deserves.
Well ever since Marduk found their own style (may it be considered over repeated by many now) Serpent Sermon was the first and only album not to represent the originality of the band.
Panzer Division Marduk would be up there as possibly my favourite Black Metal album of ALL TIME - well, maybe equal first along with Under A Sign From Hell 2011 - Gorgoroth
First of all, thank you for your review, I really liked it. I just wanted to say that Rom 5:12 is a good one. If you are in to more of a old school black metal, that doesn't mean that you have to overrate old era albums and redicule ones that you dislike based on your "old school mark". Personally I don't like early Marduk (not entirely) and I am not alone, we are a legion and we like Rom 5:12
Cradle of Filth absolutely rips until about 2002, Midian has some of the tastiest black metal riffing of that time, black metal guys just hate them because its the dogma of the community
@@kyleway8513 Cradle had its moments, but it's merely a fart in the wind in terms of evertlasting quality compared to the mighty MARDUK ! The first 2 or 3 albums were good, Marduk slays, PERIOD.
@@goatpunk Is that another project? I'll have to check that out. I think these Black Metal dudes get bored if they only have a couple projects going. Mikko Aspa has around six.
ROM 5:12 is mortuus best vocal performance IMO , and i think most people would agree on that, instead of 7 layers of guitar it's pretty much one track, it's stiped down to basic and pure black metal, if you like a wall of guitars look for some other genres to listen to, i would say that it's their most flavor-full album with seriously awesome guitar riffs, bass riffs and drum parts, they show that they are great musicians on this album IMO. Less personal oppinions when it comes to making a video about a bands history whould look so much more professional, just saying.
Personally i loved Legion era Marduk but still enjoy post legion stuff a lot. I do have to say tho Mortuus singing Legion era songs live always sounds a bit strange to me. I guess if legion sang Mortuus era songs live it would sound strange as well :D Yeah, we have some REAL FUCKING EXPERTS on Encyclopedia Metallum LOL. You know those who rate BM bands and review records based on some old 90's kvlt and trve movement bullshit. Music is art and there are different forms and blends of it. What is a point of hating a band, if you dont like a band find another one and forget about the ones you dont like instead of always talking about them. Its like people who hate Dimmu Borgir, they hate them so much but cant stop talking about them. And hell yeah i'll say it, not a big Dimmu fan but i really did enjoy last Dimmu record. Crisp and polished with great orchestra, everything is audible and clean. Nothing wrong with that, im not gonna hate it just because it doesnt sound like early Emperor or Satanic Warmaster production wise. It has clean production because its suits the style of music its made around. The beauty, if you want to say it that way, of following a band is up and downs with albums you like and dislike :) Also shame that Legion is out of Black Metal all together, respect him for staying away from metal politics and beef.
I'm actually in a weird position when it comes to Dimmu Borgir. I hate them for the most part, but I can't not mention them because I LOVE their first two albums (and the Devil's Path EP).
Fair enough. i think most people hate them because music they make become big which seems not to be allowed in traditional BM. Its not like they have control over that haha. I mean traditional BM will never go away so other bands can experiment and blend. In reality most bands just copied Bathory with their own touch and later bands copied those bands with their own touch, after all there is only one original and everyone takes from that :)
Hating something because it's popular is the dumbest, most hipster thing someone could do. By that logic, they should hate Bathory and Mayhem as well. I just don't like the direction that Dimmu Borgir went in after Devil's Path, I feel like their early material is damned near flawless. Though to be fair to them, they did change their logo when the changed musically, so I can't say the band didn't warn me that I might not like their new stuff.
Romanian bru, not Norwegic/an. Dracul va domni din nou in Transilvania. The Devil shall reign again in Transylvania. Besides that, very very cool video, really loved it ! Great job dude Best, Paul
"I don't really notice the change in vocals (...) here it literally sounds like the exact same vocals on World Funeral, sounds like Legion" What's wrong with you? Are you literally deaf? Mortuus sounding the same as Legion? In my opinion he's a HUGE upgrade for the band, but opinions aside, how can you not notice the difference in vocals?
John Zackarias Mortuus sounds more traditional in plague angel, that’s all he was saying. After that album he doesn’t like mortuus, which I personally think is 🔥
Marduk is in the top 3 bands I have seen the most live and it never disappoints! Maybe it will be controversial but here's my personal ranking of their albums: 1)La Grande Danse Macabre 2)Those Of The Unlight 3)Opus Nocturne 4)Dark Endless 5)World Funeral 6)Frontschwein 7)Plague Angel 8)Nightwing 9)Panzer Division 10)Heaven Shall Burn 11)Serpent Sermon 12)Viktoria 13)Rom 5 : 12 14)Wormwood
I have learned that the most narrow minded people are purists of BM, nothing makes them happy. I love thrash and death metal soo because they have those roots, I love them even more.
@@tigerinanina7637 Check the new Toadeater album "Bexadde"! 🖤Killer album, already the song Molten Gold got me crazy this summer (on repeat for weeks), but whole album... wow, album of the year, if 2 better doesn't come along till the end of the year. Finally something GREAT from Deutschland! 😜
I'm surprised you dont like Rom 5:12 or Wormwood. I was shocked when those albums came out with the vocal style. Very different from all the other black metal vocalists out there. Mortuus saved that band in a way. It gave them something new to work with. Legion was great too. He always sounded like his voice was gonna crack out on him which i love that in him. Jocke Gothberg and Andreas Axelsson were great also. Andreas was more recognized in Edge of Sanity playing guitar. Jocke did vocals on my favorite album Those of the Unlight.
I wasnt into them much until i heard world funeral .. awesome ! Love " hearse " and others . Love alot of their stuff i didnt like a year ago oddly . And frontschwein .. 👌👌🥁 love the triplet blast beat running through it . Vocalists always sound demented and serious . Love marduk
I do not understand how BM fans do not like Marduk. I have been a fan of Marduk since '95, when I heard and bought the FMJ EP, the next album I bought that year was 'Those of the Unlight'. They have been brutal from the outset. I have all of their albums. They are relentless! I have probably listened to World Funeral, and Nightwing the most.
The critic here is completely "?????", you can have own personal taste (or lack of taste) for some albums but srsly, Rom/Wormwood and Serpent Sermon were EPIC masterpieces, idk how someone claiming as fan can't see that. Mortuus has best vocal ever, he sounds amazing and all songs are made super cool way, are diverse and interesting, very climatic too. Some people claim only "old is good" because they can't understand every band has constant progress and something must change because people and their skills, even the technic are changing too. That's cool though, stagnation at level of first albums would be boring. Not saying of course, the old were bad, but I personally prefer Marduk since Mortuus joined. He added the real satanic athmosphere and aggressive energy. They sound amazing since.
Perhaps a lot of people dislike it so much because of its all-out no holds barred black metal exhibitionism, but I thoroughly enjoy this barrage of blizkrieg blasturbation combined with the juvenile song titles. No use in mentioning these song titles, because UA-cam's ridiculous spam filter won't display my comments anyway if I do so. Though I like PANZER DIVISION a lot, my favourite MARDUK-album is THOSE OF THE UNLIGHT only just a little bit better than the tremendous SERPENT SERMON.
How old are you ? And how did you become a critic on music that came out when you were probably still in shitters.. mortuus is a definition of step up from the last guys they had, maybe I need to go back though my catalogue
Felony Strutter: Sorry but Mortuus is better. Legion is the worst singer in Marduk history. And let's not forget, Joakim was the singer before Legion. And he's better than Legion as well. Opus Nocturne is BY FAR Marduk's best album.
Ok my man, a few things here....You chose to do a retrospective of a religious black metal band and you focus on production instead of the words. You missed the point from the start. I Morgan's own words black metal is about religion, not about vocals or guitar sound. What made Legion era Marduk not so good, is that Legion just screams the lyrics, Mortuus uses his voice in a way that fits the lyrical theme and makes the prayers come to life. That "vomiting vocal style" is not a vocal style, read the words of the prayers written on Wormwood and you'll hopefully understand why he sounds that way. If you are not a Satanist or don't care about religion then i really don't understand the point of listening to them. No offense meant by that, i'm just confused. It would be like an atheist going to Church cause he likes the atmosphere....You can do it but you wont get much out of it.
Awesome Marduk documentary..I love Marduk..My favorite vocalist is definitely Legion. To me he was so good, and also an amazing stage performer. I do love all of the albums old and newer though..To me they are one of the best black metal bands..Funny thing is, I love the variety on "La Grande Danse Macabre". I don't view an occasional slow down with melody as weakness. I do love your retrospective though..I do love the newer stuff too with Mortuus as well, but my favorite period were the Legion years and before, though I love it all including Mortuus..
Toss up between opus nocturne and Heaven Shall Burn When We are Gathered for me. Not because these are their best, actually these are the first 2 albums I listened to around 1997. Two blistering albums! Hail!
Hi there. Well done the Marduk documentary. I know them since, maybe 1993 or '94. I've listened to many black metal bands and,maybe, Marduk is one of the good ones, with many many good releases. BTW, the song "Dracul va domni din nou in Transilvania" translates correctly (from romanian) as "the devil will rule again in Transylvania". So, just in theory is not related 100% to Vlad The Impaler Dracula. Anyway, I know that every westerner associates Dracula with Transylvania and with evil things, the historic truth is that he was a ruller (let's say king) of a part of Romania and he was christian, so nothing evil there. Anyway, everybody loves this legend of Dracula so, for us the romanians, there's a good promotion...
I was fortunate enough to have seen Marduk w/ Deicide back in 2001. They were absolutely vicious and one of the best Black Metal bands I've seen. Sad that the lames have to ruin the party and cancel out Marduk...
what really matters is those of the unlight for a fresh sound,fresh experience,new kind of music,new kind of 'black metal' and serpent sermon a fcking great change,awsome riffs ,superior kind of music,breathtaking power,awesome concept something rly new for marduk,that is how a black metal album must be,the rest is just background noise,same guitars same screams,same drums,same noise,and now back again with the same noise now called viktoria
I like all of their albums personally. Their whole discography is great. Phosphorus Redeemer To Redirect Perdition when those clicked it seemed like I got rom 5 12 somehow after that? I loved serpent sermon from when it first came out. Into second death was a grower at first but that album is insane. Always loved World Funeral and La Grande Danse Macabre.
You know Legion was really a dedicated front man with a recognizable voice but Mortuus had really shown expertise and dedication as well. That's hard, to get on stage every night and perform like that for 45 days in a row.
Hm legion is far better
Lost me completly when shittalking Mortuus vocals. The guy sounds as if his throat's full av worms. Dont get more evil sounding than him.
Hm no..he sucks.
NIghtwing and Panzer Division Marduk are what got me into Black Metal.
me too! plus Gorgoroth - Destroyer
I couldn't get into black metal with this, I guess...
Nightwing is immortal
MARDUK is phenomenal live, I got to see legion when Marduk and Deicide toured and blew me away.
Marduk (i Like IT,but) is only a Party black Metal Band. No real satanic ( or cvlt) black Metal.
@@meatgrinder6662for me thats good enough. Legion was the best..marduk isn’t the same anymore without him.Mortuus is no good
@@a.g.4843 Mortuus is no good? ahahhahaahhah ah ha hwkjdadkhjawdah hhahahahahhahahahahhahahaha
Panzer Division Marduk: like being punched in the face for half an hour.
it's funny how americans live in such a multicultural nation and yet are so hopeless when it comes to non-english words and names. xD
Wicked sick live band, it was pretty mindnlowing seeing them with possessed, withered, toxic holocaust, and Danzig all on one lineup
Nasty
The Blond Beast is about Reinhardt Heidrich...
You should listen/read the lyrics some time. They’re pretty good.
Bo Ek the butcher from Prague :)
Wasn't only "The Hangman of Prague" about him? The first song on Plague Angel.
Heydrich. Yeah, he actually started by setting up a card table and buying a little recipe card box and packs of recipe cards. He was warned by contemporaries b4 he died to quit being so arrogant and taking the same route to work at the same time in the car with the top down.

He's one of my favorite vocalist as well.
Mortuus is the best vocalist they have had man. He was in Triumphator and is also in Funeral Mist.
Matt Blackwood 100%
Matt Blackwood sounds like punk rock on meth, with a ton of hating the Bible. I don’t understand it. Imagine your neighbors playing this 24/7
Legion was good too, have to agree Mortuus is the best one though

Contrary to modern vulgar popular belief, quality is NOT subjective.
@@rudolphantler6309 What are you a psychiatrist, whatever that means. All righty then. Moving on now. 💋
I think panzer division is war not fire
I admire Marduk for their relentless Attitude. (besides their fucking good BM) They just don’t give a fuck who they piss off. And that’s the spirit.
Grazy!!, the vocals on wormwood are the best of any Marduk records in my opinion.
Heaven Shall Burn was my gateway to more authentic bm, and i still love it to my bones. I considere it the perfect black metal album.
Marduk has been my absolute favorite band for over 20 years. Mortuus is okay but I miss Legion. mortuus is god in his own project Funeral mist
it's a good thing I don't judge my music by Metal Archives, hahaha. Marduk is one of the best groups out there, STILL!
Panzer Division Marduk got me into black metal.

Rom was awesome and Mortuus is great. And the song is called Accuser/Opposer, not Accuser/Oppressor. But otherwise I mostly agree, it's cool to hear Serpent Sermon get the love it deserves.
Well ever since Marduk found their own style (may it be considered over repeated by many now) Serpent Sermon was the first and only album not to represent the originality of the band.
Amen brother.
Serpent Sermon is fucking awesome
I love serpent sermon that album is fucking crazy
the greatest Swedish black metal band of all time hail Morgan and marduk
Why do they get such a bad rap? Nobody I know likes them. 🤷♀️👠 Maybe I need to get different friends?

Legion's era was the best to me
Rom 5:12 was good that's my opinion. They also do some pretty badass Misfits and Samhain covers on the compilation Blackcrowned.

Mortuus/Arioch is the best black metal vocalist ever. He sounds like Satan himself. Can't understand the critics here.
I agree with you so completely Mortuus is the best singer in black metal. Hail from Poland.
The more unintelligible the lyrics, the better. Black Metal is ruined when you can understand what they're saying.
Chri D totally agree
No.
Legion Joakim
8:37 its actually romanian, it means the devil will rule over transylvania again, i saw them live in transylvania and they didnt even play that song
Hailz you are the first metal head that I know, actually likes my favorite Marduk album Nightwing..
... Rom 5:12... You lost me. Are you devoid of feelings? It's one of their best albums.

Nightwing rules.
Hail Marduk
How old are you ? And how did you become a critic on music that came out when you were probably still in shitters.. mortuus is a definition of step up from the last guys they had, maybe I need to go back though my catalogue
thanks / m / hail marduk
Legion was the best frontman ever compared not to all other black metal bands but compared to all bands that ever existed.
What in the name of fuck.. ROM 5:12 is a great album! That is simply the way Mortuus sounds.
Imago Mortis is fucking awesome vocals are FUCKING BRUTAL, u trippin trippin
I have never heard a Marduk fan say Mortus is better than Legion and we all miss Legion. However Mortus will do, he music is great.
Felony Strutter: Sorry but Mortuus is better. Legion is the worst singer in Marduk history. And let's not forget, Joakim was the singer before Legion. And he's better than Legion as well. Opus Nocturne is BY FAR Marduk's best album.
There has never been bad vocals in Marduk. Anything further is really down to personal preference and micro pros and cons in situations.
Marduk kicks the ass of the clowns of Dark Funeral!!
Marduk is Marduk no matter who's doing vox.. now get off the internet and punch someone!
HEil Marduk!(since ON!)
Marduk is great. Idk why people shit on them
Best Songs imo:
1. Black Tormentor of Satan
2. World Funeral
3. Beast of Prey
Hell yes. Beast of Prey is super underrated imo
Ok my man, a few things here....You chose to do a retrospective of a religious black metal band and you focus on production instead of the words. You missed the point from the start. I Morgan's own words black metal is about religion, not about vocals or guitar sound. What made Legion era Marduk not so good, is that Legion just screams the lyrics, Mortuus uses his voice in a way that fits the lyrical theme and makes the prayers come to life. That "vomiting vocal style" is not a vocal style, read the words of the prayers written on Wormwood and you'll hopefully understand why he sounds that way. If you are not a Satanist or don't care about religion then i really don't understand the point of listening to them. No offense meant by that, i'm just confused. It would be like an atheist going to Church cause he likes the atmosphere....You can do it but you wont get much out of it.
Mortuus is the best thing to ever happen to this band.
Dark Endless is my favorite song and album is Panzer Division.
Awesome Marduk documentary..I love Marduk..My favorite vocalist is definitely Legion. To me he was so good, and also an amazing stage performer. I do love all of the albums old and newer though..To me they are one of the best black metal bands..Funny thing is, I love the variety on "La Grande Danse Macabre". I don't view an occasional slow down with melody as weakness. I do love your retrospective though..I do love the newer stuff too with Mortuus as well, but my favorite period were the Legion years and before, though I love it all including Mortuus..
Toss up between opus nocturne and Heaven Shall Burn When We are Gathered for me. Not because these are their best, actually these are the first 2 albums I listened to around 1997. Two blistering albums! Hail!
Hi there. Well done the Marduk documentary. I know them since, maybe 1993 or '94. I've listened to many black metal bands and,maybe, Marduk is one of the good ones, with many many good releases. BTW, the song "Dracul va domni din nou in Transilvania" translates correctly (from romanian) as "the devil will rule again in Transylvania". So, just in theory is not related 100% to Vlad The Impaler Dracula. Anyway, I know that every westerner associates Dracula with Transylvania and with evil things, the historic truth is that he was a ruller (let's say king) of a part of Romania and he was christian, so nothing evil there. Anyway, everybody loves this legend of Dracula so, for us the romanians, there's a good promotion...
I was fortunate enough to have seen Marduk w/ Deicide back in 2001. They were absolutely vicious and one of the best Black Metal bands I've seen. Sad that the lames have to ruin the party and cancel out Marduk...
rom 5:12 is great
So where is "Fuck Me Jesus" Ep at?!!! A pure fucking classic that should be on this list man!

Whats up with people attatching "core" to everything? Norse Core? Never heard of it. Its black metal.
So many black metal bands suffer from blast beat masturbation. Dark funeral in particular made the same album since 1998 to 2016
That's what you get for listening to metal made past the mid 90s
good work
People were seriously calling Marduk "norsecore?" What's wrong with people? 😅🤦♂️
Watain makes these guys look like child's play
what really matters is those of the unlight for a fresh sound,fresh experience,new kind of music,new kind of 'black metal' and serpent sermon a fcking great change,awsome riffs ,superior kind of music,breathtaking power,awesome concept something rly new for marduk,that is how a black metal album must be,the rest is just background noise,same guitars same screams,same drums,same noise,and now back again with the same noise now called viktoria
Heaven shall burn is in the big 10
I like all of their albums personally. Their whole discography is great. Phosphorus Redeemer To Redirect Perdition when those clicked it seemed like I got rom 5 12 somehow after that? I loved serpent sermon from when it first came out. Into second death was a grower at first but that album is insane. Always loved World Funeral and La Grande Danse Macabre.
