Marduk Set U.S. Release Date For New Album

Candlelight Records have confirmed March 8th as the US release date for the new album from Sweden's Marduk. Titled Plague Angel, it is the band's ninth full-length studio album to see proper release in the U.S. It was recorded at Endarker Studios in Norrkoping, Sweden. Pre-recording line-up changes finds Plague Angel with new blood, (re)introducing bassist Magnus Devo Andersson (who produced the album) and vocalist Mortuus to the ranks.

Plague Angel is described as “a punishing and uncompromising effort that stands as another robust testimony from a classic and influential band. Marduk's dominating power and aggression cascades through each and every track as their proclaimed and vitriolic deathmarch rages on.”

Founder/guitarist Morgan Hakansson and drummer Fredrik Andersson round out the album’s personnel. A visual assault, in the form of the newly filmed video for album track ‘Throne Of Rats’, was directed by director Roger Johansson (The Haunted, In Flames, Hammerfall) and has already been described as "a morbid masterpiece."
