CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description An unswerving commitment to blasphemy and extremity combined with a relentless touring schedule and a steady stream of recordings has helped establish Sweden's Marduk as one of the better-known bands on the Scandinavian black metal scene. They began as more of a standard death metal band with a black metal influence, but have come to be known for their style of extreme black metal, which tends to focus on themes of warfare and anti-Christian sentiment and is characterized by relentlessly fast drumming and blurred walls of guitar. This reissue of their 1999 album comes packaged in a Digipak and includes the 4 bonus tracks 'Sulphur Souls', 'Materialized In Stone', 'Opus Nocturne' & 'Autumnal Reaper'. Regain Records. 2006.

CD ReviewsThe Worst Marduk CD Ted | Australia | 09/04/2003 (1 out of 5 stars) "Opus and La Grande are the worst Marduk CD's. I would recommend Panzer Division instead its faster played Black Metal not repetitive like Opus and doesn't drag out to be unmemoriable." Opus masterpiece C. Gladys | cali. colombia | 02/07/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "BORING?????...not, minimalistic.....not, raw, oh oh oh yes..... this is an ocult masterpiece, foward step heaven shall burn, the ultimate act of a good and powerful vocal ( joakim grave) , maybe much people by dissapointing with this review, but I dont care, for me all marduk albums is a little operetta , fantastic, older sweden school black metal, blacker than darkness, hey you fans of true black metal try to hear this magnificent album, is a sweet sin in yours ears........." Another excellent Marduk slab Michael E. Mitchell | Minocqua, WI USA | 04/28/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "I strongly disagree with all these "worst" reviews of this album. While I admit that "La Grande..." did kind've stink, "Opus.." is pretty good! I have the original version, not the re-release, so some of the following may not apply to the newer version. The sound is extremely raw (in a good way; if you want "nice" production, why are you even listening to Marduk!?)and some great guitar riffs are found here. It is not murderously fast throughout the album, but any fan of Marduk KNOWS that they are not always fast, faster, and fastest. There is a great mix of songs on here, and includes the fantastic stand-outs "Sulphur Souls", "Wolves part 2", and the unforgettable homage to NWOBHM "Materialized in Stone". It is a diverse album (not as "diverse" as "La Grande...", so don't fear that!) that doesn't deserve the abysmal reviews it's gotten. I was always quite keen on it, and was rather shocked to see that other fans hold it in such low regard. Though it isn't MY "favourite" of theirs, I think this album can be enjoyed by fans of other MeTal genres, as well as Black MeTal novices and veterans. I WILL say that the cover "art" stinks, though!"
