These Swedes seem to have found the right balance between their
patented high-speed black metal and moments of more well-rounded musicianship
here on their 15th(!!) recording. From the opener to "Cloven Hoof", your
dangerously fast black metal fix is well met, then supplemented with the
killer epic track "To the Death's Head True", which might be my favourite
song of theirs to date. "Night of the Long Knives" has a breakdown as
murderous as its lyrical basis, while the title track features an almost
ethnic sounding riff. All 3 of Marduk's players seem to have developed as
musicians, and offer a vicious yet thoughtful performance here, while vocalist
Legion lays out the blasphemy on throat. The album fades out with some
classical music also found in "A Clockwork Orange", and now accented by some
metal to give it an Order from Chaos-like atmosphere. "Panzer Division
Marduk" may have been the album to get the world's attention, but it takes
albums like this one to maintain it.
