Ahhh yes! 8 years in the fucking making! As i stated in the Mayhem review comment, WAR was to happen at another date. Little did I know it would only be a few months after Blackenedfest where I would don the corpse paint again and would be graced by the Swedish Black Metal War Horde that is the mighty Marduk. Yes this was the 3rd and final show if the 3 shows and I had gotten the chance to see the other 2 and was AMAZED by how good they were. This one was special cause it was in NYC and I knew the crowd was going to give them a great response. I was not directly in the middle but it was my choice cause Morgan is over to right side of the stage so me and my friends were over there but looks like it was for the better cause it got pretty rough in the middle from the looks it. Before Marduk came on I went into the bathroom to throw on the paint real fast and for just fingers i think I did a pretty bang up job and thanks for taking that pic of me Ken. As for the review. I’m actually being serious in saying this, I think this is your best review yet. The descriptive words you used in describing how Marduk was/is are just a really great read. I know these latest comments of virtue are REALLY late but again I got to it eventually. I have to remember to put the wordpress and piercing metal up my tab bar so i remember to check it weekly. I suck for not doing it sooner.

As always great review Ken. I enjoyed this show much more then the one with Mayhem. Marduk put on an amazing set playing songs from all there albums. I wasn’t to impressed with the opening acts except for Black Anvil. These guys are a new black metal thrash band that just signed to Relapse records. By the response from the crowd I recomend fans of black metal and thrash seeing them before they become big. Your next chance can be December 16th when they come back with Marduk and Nachtmystium to Gramercy Theater. I can’t wait till this night.
