I&#8217;d never heard this album before as I only got onboard with the guys in the <b>Heaven Shall Burn&#8230;  <\/b> era so this was an interesting experience to see where it all started. Infact I didn&#8217;t even know they started off as more of a death metal band! <\/p>\n\n<p>Marduk had visions of being the most extreme blasphemous band ever. With bands like Deicide \/ Morbid Angel already kicking around and gaining impressive followings at the time this was not going to be an easy task\/<\/p>\n\n<p>This release is a lot different from their more widely known efforts leaning towards a more death metal style rather than the black metal they are known for. The songs display an influence from both black metal and older school death metal <i>(Sounds like the band are major Bolt Thrower fans to me)<\/i> but this is definitely a dark and evil sound the lads have got going on here. It does however sound a little undercooked. But I&#8217;m really only saying that after knowing the band when they became main players in the black metal scene<\/p>\n\n<p>Over all this is pretty cool. There&#8217;s some great parts to this album and has a doomy \/ death metal feel with black metal vocals thrown over the top. I don&#8217;t mind this at all and i&#8217;ll listen to it again but I won&#8217;t go so far to say it&#8217;s an essential release. But it was a great way for the band to start building a following for the onslaught that was to follow in the years to come.<\/p>\n\n<p>For more great metal reviews and other stuff be sure to keep checking back on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metalhed.com\">Metalhed.com<\/a> as often as you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marduk Dark Endless is the first full length album from these Swedish exponents of extreme metal.
