1990年，怀着对基督的怨恨和蔑视，MARDUK渴望创造出人类历史上最为邪恶的音乐。1991年，MARDUK发表了一张DEMO《**** ME JESUS》，不久，在地下乐队中引起了不小的反响，此后，乐队计划录制一张7寸的黑胶EP唱片《HERE’S NO PEACE》，但不久他们和NO FASHIONS公司签订了出唱片的合同，所以取消了原来的计划。1992年，MARDUK辗转各地录制了乐队首张专辑《DARK ENDLESS》，此张专辑被NO FASHIONS公司在同年的12月份发表。 Country of origin: Sweden Location: Norrköping, Östergötland Status: Active Formed in: 1990 Genre: Black Metal Lyrical themes: Satanism, Anti-Christianity, Blasphemy, Death, War, History Current label: Century Media Records Years active: 1990-present In Mesopotamian mythology, Marduk was a Babylonian storm god who created the earth and sky from the slain body of the great dragon Tiamat who, with her consort Abzu, created the first generation of gods. Marduk then slew their son Kingu and used his blood mixed with earth to create humanity. He was revered as the patron deity of Babylon. Morgan has stated that many have misunderstood his rationale behind choosing the name Marduk for his band. According to him, the purpose of selecting it was to promote a blasphemous irony, as the deity Marduk represented light, but the band's message is the complete opposite of that. In other words, it was intended as a mockery. While the vast majority of the band's material is black metal, their first demo and debut album were death metal. The band abandoned this sound shortly after the release of their first album.
