Marduk - Wormwood[views:2802][posts:20]______________________________ [Oct 13,2009 3:26pm - Yeti ""] first and foremost, this is Marduk alive and well, but different. its definitely the next step in evolution from Rom 5:12, but its just....different. its chock full of raging insanity, but the riff work on some songs is weird. for example track 2, "Funeral Dawn", is the same riff repeated for 6 minutes, and its not even really that heavy of a riff. it reminds me of "Imago Mortis" from Rom. the opening track is excellent, they are notorious for grabbing you with a killer opener. the album almost zones out for tracks 2, 3 and 4, but then comes BLASTING in with "Into Utter Madness" which is devastating, and the rest of the album follows suit until "As A Garment" which slows down again. my favorites are "Into Utter Madness", "Phosphorous Redeemer" and "Whorecrown", the latter being incredible. overall i really enjoyed this, its just different than what i expected. the shining element is Mortuus' vocals, that dude sounds like he is gurgling blood when he sings. Legion who? this gets an A in my book. |

| ______________________________ [Oct 13,2009 3:28pm - Yeti ""] i used to really like Legion, but the more i listen to his stuff after hearing what Mortuus can do, i'm not as interested. "Heaven Shall Burn" has some weak vocals. |

| ______________________________ [Oct 13,2009 3:29pm - Yeti ""] it came out today so i'm sure its online. |

Rom 5:12 should stand alone. instead of albums like Annihilation of the Wicked and Ithyphallic from Nile. Ithyphallic is just AotW pt. 2. |

A+ he is one of the best lyricists in the metal world. it sounds like his vocal cords are being torn apart. |

| ______________________________ [Nov 3,2009 9:29pm - Murph ""] I heart 'duk. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 6,2009 8:33pm - quintessence ""] Whorecrown is a great song. This album is awesome. Listening to it "properly" this evening. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 6,2009 10:09pm - Seth ""] Better then the last one but it grows on you and some of the production is different then of old and the last few good Marduk albums. For me a must own! :satancross: |

| _______________________________________ [Nov 7,2009 3:23am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Marduk seems like they should be way more awesome than they are. I sorta nod my head like I'm agreeing with them non-commitally when I listen to it. |
