Marduk and Origin

Marduk, formed in 1990 in Sweden by guitarist Morgan Steinmeyer Håkansson, is renowned for its extreme black metal style emphasizing warfare and anti-Christian themes. Their well-regarded releases, including "Heaven Shall Burn...When We Are Gathered" and "Frontschwein," along with relentless touring, established them as a leading Scandinavian black metal act. Known for high-speed drumming and intense live performances, Marduk's iconic works like 2007's "Rom 5:12" earned critical acclaim. Despite controversies, they maintain fierce creativity, with albums like "Memento Mori" and collaborations with key band members like Devo Andersson.
