MARDUK To Play Select U.S. Shows In August

June 18, 2009

Swedish black metallers MARDUK have issued the following update:

"After the visa problem that forced MARDUK to miss out on the Blackenedfest [with MAYHEM] in the States, we can now bring you news that vocalist Mortuus has now received his visa. So all problems are now sorted out for the future. After this temporary setback for the band, promoters, fans and everybody involed we are delighted to bring you the news that MARDUK will be performing in the USA during August. The band will be doing a few selected shows."

MARDUK was scheduled to enter Endarker Studios in Norrköping, Sweden last month to begin recording its eleventh album, due before the end of the year via Regain Records. The CD's release will be followed by a world tour, dubbed "Funeral Nation 2009/2010", which will kick off in Europe.

Fan-filmed video footage of MARDUK performing the song "Throne Of Rats" on December 9, 2008 at Rolling Stone in Milan, Italy can be viewed below. Photos of the concert, which also included appearances by KATAKLYSM and MORBID ANGEL, are available on the news blog Musica Metal.

MARDUK's latest album, "Rom 5:12", was released in North America in May 2007 via Regain/Koch.

MARDUK was formed by guitarist Morgan Steinmeyer Håkansson with the goal of becoming the "most blasphemous band in the world." The group's musical style strarted out as straight-forward, death metal-influenced black metal, but as the years went by progressed into a fast and intense form of black metal.
