19) MARDUK - Frontschwein (Century Media)
On Frontschwein (Marduk's first completely war-themed album since 1999’s legendary Panzer Division Marduk), 25 years of black metal history collide with eons of devastation and destruction amongst human beings. The result is an ugly, furious album true to Marduk's sinister legacy and true to the essence of black metal. Welcome to the front. There is no salvation.
Harkening back to the theme of the classic ’99 album Panzer Division Marduk. The band achieved total victory as BraveWords scribe had high praise for the album, saying “the Swedes have returned with a dynamically opposing work of art.”
He also wrote, “Like the precision guidance of a V-1 bomb, the opening chords of the title track weaved a destructive dance, obliterating every last brain cell upon impact. The reverberations of this pulse-jet-powered paroxysm echoed its carnage into the follow-up track, ‘The Blond Beast’.”
