Marduk - Hearse
You really have to be a die-hard fan of Marduk to want to shell out any money for a two-song CD-single that only contains one non-album track. Granted, it is a Possessed cover. This MCD is a teaser for the new album, World Funeral, also to be released on Regain Records (at the time of this review, it isn’t out yet). Musically, this single is hard to judge. The one track that is from the album (“Hearse”) sort of blends the balls-out chaos of Panzer Division Marduk with the more melodic attack of albums such as Heaven Shall Burn… When We Are Gathered or Le Grande Danse Macabre. When things get melodic, the track fucking rips. When the chaotic shit gets going, the memorability of the song almost disappears amidst the grinding riffs and pounding drums. As before, Legion’s voice is evil as fucking Hell and about as abrasive as getting your face rammed into an industrial-strength sanding machine. The Possessed cover, “Phantasm,” is almost spot-on with the original. I love both Marduk and Possessed, so the prospect of hearing Marduk covering Possessed was enough to get me to shell out the cash for this. After listening to this, I’m really interested in hearing what the new album is going to sound like.
