"All hail the worldwide MARDUK legion!!"
MARDUK and the band's record label, Blooddawn Productions, recently announced a partnership with Century Media Records.

The CD landed at position No. 99 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
