4.0 out of 5 stars Innovative and refreshing Black Metal !, May 12, 2004

World Funeral is a very good all around BM album. These guys have been around a while and I like the changes they have made in their music. If every album sounded like Panzer and was played at the speed of light, than Marduk would become very boring. The lyrics on this album are sinister and well thought out. I feel like Marduk put some time and thought into this release. The variation in the pace and structure of this album is refreshing to here. Some tracks are blistering fast, while others more slow and haunting. After a few listens, I'm sure anyone with a passion for Dark music will embrace this album. Read the lyrics along with songs!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Surprised By This Album, July 27, 2003

Marduk has never been a personal favorite of mine, granted some of their eary work (with vocalist Andreas Axelsson) was excellent, but since then they have yet to impress me, but their latest album, 'World Funeral' caught me quite off guard. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect from this now legendary quartet, but I was pleasently surprised. The album is a basic collection of all that the band has done, flawlessly pieced together. Vocally, Legion is perfect, this is the best he has ever been, almost as good as Axelsson. Musically, it is great, Morgan Steinmeyer Håkansson os at the top of his game, the riffs and how the guitar textures the sound is unbelievable. B. War's bass hasn't sounded this good since 'Those of the Unlight'. Long time drummer Fredrik Andersson's replacement Emil Dragutinovic does a fabulous job. The production is strange, it is both clean, yet still giving a very raw aura, very well done. Another thing that was done well on this record was the more melodic / ambient overtones (ala Agalloch and Negura Bunget), but still keeps the ultra heavy black metal sound. Standout tracks include the brutal black metal romp "Bloodletting", the extremity of "Hearse", and the beauty of the heaviness of "To the Death's Head True" (my personal favorite track). Marduk's 'World Funeral' is easily one of the years best black metal records, Marduk's best since 'Those of the Unlight'!

5.0 out of 5 stars Marduks Newest Realease, And It Rules!, July 27, 2003

Well, marduk has done it again. They made yet another awesome evil cd. Every song is brutal and evil. The lyrics are pretty sick and evil. Marduk dont hold anything back in their lyrics, they jut say whatever they want and thats very cool. It starts out with an audio clip and then breaks into a fast brutal song titled With Satan And Victorious Weapons then after that is my favorite song on the cd...Bleached Bones!!!!! If you like black metal or any other releases from Marduk, BUY THIS NOW!!!!
