The most devastating Marduk release to date. An obviously deviant release from Marduk’s "norm", Panzer Division Marduk delves more into a ballistic firing of blasphemous musical terror than on their previous releases. Their subject matter does not abandon its satanic/anti-christian roots (in fact, Panzer Division Marduk is pretty much a slap in the face of subtle imagery with songs like "Christraping Black Metal" and "Fistfucking God’s Planet"), but Marduk has no doubt chosen to undertake a more war-driven expression similar to talents such as the mighty Bolt Thrower and Niden Division (Niden Div. 187). The band has taken steps to speed up their music for this CD and it shows. Their drummer’s endurance is incredible. I have never seen this band live, but if he could dish out a 45 minute set up-to-speed, I would be impressed. The songs flow together extremely well, and they are chock full of sinister guitar riffs that Marduk is so well known for. If you are in the mood for a heated battle, beginning to end, this CD is for you; Marduk doesn’t fuck around.
