Before Marduk went mad on the total blast beats period there was a time in which the pure sense of darkness and mystery lied inside their music. The gloomy sounds of the first two albums came together with a far better songwriting to create the masterpiece of that era and surely the best album ever recoded by this band, Opus Nocturne. This malignant album was like a bridge between the past and the future because in some points the speed of music was higher, but always keeping the right atmosphere of desecration of the first efforts.
Opus Nocturne is the third full-length album by Sweedish black metal act Marduk, released in 1994. I absolutely love this album. a friend showed it to me a while back, and it was the first 'real' black metal album that i got hooked on. everything about it just makes me want to listen to it again and again. the guitar riffs are traditional, yet catchy, the drumming is blisteringly fast, and the whole aura of the album is one of darkness and evil. i recommend to anyone who's getting tired of their newer Dimmu or Cradle of Filth albums and wants to move into something a bit harsher and more 'true'.
