Marduk - Plague Angel Appreciation Thread

[Agalloch]

I haven't seen anything on this forum about this album or much about this band so this thread is necessary. Plague Angel is the peak of their career and one of the heaviest albums you may have not heard. It takes no prisoners and crushes all comers from start to finish. Luckily, I've provided the entire album for proof.

C'mon you pussy fucks. Anyone who hasn't heard this isn't reaching full potential.

I've never heard this bruh, honestly don't own one thing by Marduk. I listened to the first few minutes and this right in my wheel house. I'm low on time atm, but will get jiggy with it fairly soon.

Thanks for posting about music, seriously.

I always liked this album. But I also like a lot of marduk's work

What. The. Fuck.

Opus Nocturne. Now.

 

[Ellestin]

Nightwing is beyond reproach, it's pretty much "the" cautionary formula album for the genre

 

[Hell Mike]

I appreciate

They're mostly awesome, too. Picked up after a dip in the early/mid 00's (or whenever it was)



Take extra note of the awesome drumming.

The only reason anyone in this thread is talking about Nightwing or Opus Nocturne is because they're designated as "classics" however the album this thread is about is way superior, despite Opus Nocturne also being awesome.

What exactly differentiates this band from the so called "norsecore" bands? I don't really understand the appeal. Is it because they have more speed picked power chords and faster blast beats than the other bands?

They are one of the so-called "norsecore" bands, but they're very good

yes well I listened to the whole album two times today and sorry but I don't see how it's "way superior" to Nightwing. The habit factor plays a part, granted, but Nightwing is just so good and I don't really find any of its killer atmospheres and melodies in Plague Angel, which is a good album though

 

[Ellestin]

On a side note and because I don't want to start a new thread, Enthroned's new album deserves some attention cause it's really really dark and awesome, I never awaited them at that level after such a long career churning out ok albums at most. They may have nailed their opus magnum.

Plague Angel is just a lot more blistering and aggressive, which is what I'm in the mood for these days.
