MARDUK Lands On U.S. Soil

August 11, 2009

Following a last-minute visa issue that forced the band to sit out the Blackenedfest tour earlier this summer, Swedish black metallers MARDUK were allowed to enter the U.S. earlier today ahead of their three-date East Coast tour.

Said guitarist Morgan Håkansson from Baltimore: "Finally, after so many problems and unforeseen difficulties, MARDUK has entered North America. We are excited to finally be here again. A long time has passed since our previous tour over here; the year was 2001! But now we are back and this is just the beginning of what's to come!"

MARDUK will play three shows with WITHERED and BLACK ANVIL and take part in an autograph signing and meet-and-greet at Duff's Brooklyn in Williamsburg, New York.

The group's schedule is as follows:

Aug. 12 - Sonar - Baltimore, MD
Aug. 13 - Johnny Brenda's - Philadelphia, PA
Aug. 14 - Duffs Brooklyn - Williamsburg, NY (autograph session)
Aug. 15 - Gramercy Threatre - New York, NY (with TOMBS)

MARDUK will release its eleventh album, "Wormwood", in the U.S. on October 13 via Regain Records. The CD, which will be made available in Europe on September24, was recorded at Endarker Studios in Norrköping, Sweden with engineer/producer Magnus Devo Andersson. The album's release will be followed by a world tour, dubbed "Funeral Nation 2009/2010", which will kick off in Europe.
