NIGHTWING (1998)

Siempre habrá quien no acabe de estar satisfecho al del todo con el sonido de Marduk y su evolución con el paso de los años, pero es del todo innegable que le pese a quien le pese estamos ante toda una institución dentro de la escena y que desde la publicación de "Fuck me Jesus" allá por 1991 hasta nuestros días ha venido ofreciendo material de calidad. Una de las señas de identidad de Marduk es que siempre se desmarcó de la inclusión de teclados para recrear un ambiente sombrío y oscuro en su música, algo que en aquellos días no era del todo normal. Nightwing consta de diez temas, la primera parte de los cuales se centra letristicamente hablando en los elementos típicos del black como puede ser el satanismo, mientras que la segunda mitad de los temas son un repaso histórico a la figura de Vlad  el Empalador. En general su música se rige por un patrón de velocidad y agresividad desarrollado a base de aplastantes riffs de guitarra, batería contundente y las voces de Legion destrozando al oyente. La primera parte del álbum transcurre con una mayor velocidad, aquí podemos encontrar clásicos de la banda como pueden ser "Slay the Nazarene", mientras que en la segunda parte se han trabajado más la consecución de una atmósfera un tanto más oscura. Habrá quién no esté contento con la producción pero este disco está llamado a ser un clásico del black, si no lo es ya a día de hoy. (8,6).

2. Bloodtide (XXX) 06:44

Wings of the night

Has turned light into shadows

And through the deep forest

Only the mist prevails

Carried forth by the whispering wind

And in a glade of the deepest part of the forest

The black pounding heart of a thousand peoples fears

Thirteen figures perform the most obscure dance

Around an altar of stone while the eye of Satan

Beholds from its high seat in the starless sky

Dark eyes stares with carnal bloodlust at the fettered virgins helpless

struggle

Claws and teeth shall desecrate the temple of her soul and pierce the night

with her cries

The sacred blood of god's creation flow

As the eyes of the creatures woefully glow

* As gleaming red as the hair of the beasts

^?

Dreadful shadows plunges through the veils of the mist at their

screaming prey

Claws and teeth shall desecrate the temple of her soul and force her spirit

beyond the gates

Of black divinity

The sacred blood of gods creation drips

And run down the throats of the creatures who from open vein sips

And the moon glows - as pale as the skin of the beasts

Three crosses breaks her skin

A soul for Satan to win

Three crosses for the price of blood

That so triumphantly brought death to the son of god

Three crosses for the breed of Cain

That throughout time in blood will reign

Three crosses for the abomination from Nod

Who so fiercly drank his brothers blood

Three crosses for the breathren of Judas

All praise the black deity

So fearsome great and mighty

Mark our spirits with thine blessing dark divine

And through our eyes you powers all will shine

Upon the forthcoming millenium

The sacred blood of gods creation is gone

And her soul is now in the hands of the horned one

Who laughs as bloodfreezing as gaze in the eyes of the beasts

Three crossess breaks her skin

A soul for Satan to win

Three crossess for the price of blood

That so triumphantly brought death to the son of god

Three crossess for the breed of cain 

That throughout time in blood will reign

Three crossess for the abomination from Nod

Who so fiercly drank his brothers blood

Three crossess...

3. Of Hell's Fire 05:22

hear the evil calling of the spirits of the dark And see the beauty and the power of the devils mark The night always calls my name Gaze into my eyes and see the shadows of the flames Of hells fire Torture and pain I desire Let the flames reach higher And lick the realms of the Nazarene liar Dark reflections sweep the night a call from the depths of the earth Antichrist is rising the image of Him to which hell gave birth Necromantical chants are brought forth by the winds of the north The message of destruction from Satan and his court The toll of damnations bell Open the gates to hell I can feel the delightful smell Of rotten souls who in darkness dwell Thou - The archangel who fell from the heavenly empire Thou - The hand that wound with evil and unholy desire Thou - The black lord of the unlight to which we all belong From the deepest part of gehenna tormented soulos sings damnations song Write my name with the slaughtered angels blood As I step in the face of the fallen soldiers of god All the children of Jehova will always be our prey Beyond the pearly gates we shall crush, rape destroy and slay Grant us the first power Up from hell we storm at the witching hour Where we ride the soil turns sour The evil eye behold from hells highest tower The power of christ doesn't compell me Lucifer I kneel before thee Join the forces of Satan for you will see Grim and dark the future is going to be Of hells fire 

4. Slay the Nazarene 03:49

It was predicted that with every tool That the romans brought pain to you thy fool People to your god should be lead While our warriors lost and scattered fled You should be the king on earth Bastard son of virgin birth Slay the Nazarene - In christian eyes supreme You will die Slay the Nazarene - Your might is just a dream You shall die Slay the Nazarene - Tourtured you will scream You must die Slay the Nazarene Slay the Nazarene Die Die On your command man should do what god wilth Glorification of holy christian slime and filth Your vision of your crusaders bravery That turned the wiched out of their slavery You should be the king of kings But now feel the embrace of Lucifers wings Slay the son of god - Drown him in his own blood Meet your death Slay the son of god - This is your sinners flood We praise your death Slay the son of god - Scum of inferior blood Hail your death Slay the son of god Slay the son of god Death Death Death Now glance upon your teachings In the pits of lost realities Behold the righteous ones Before Satan at their knees Slay the scum of the earth - Whoreson of infidel birth You are dead Slay the scum of the earth - Your cross is nothing worth Your teachings are dead Slay the scum of the earth - Teared apart with sadistic urge Your god is dead Slay the scum of the earth Slay the scum of the earth Dead Dead Dead Humiliated as no other Seek patience at the weak chest of your father I.N.R.I. Crucified you shall die Mocked and spitted at Your feeble rat Slay the Nazarene - In christian eyes supreme You will die Slay the Nazarene - your might is just a dream You shall die Slay the Nazarene - tortured you will scream You must die Slay the Nazarene Slay the Nazarene Die Die Die SLAY THE NAZARENE

5. Nightwing 07:35

Nightwing - fly across the sky And cast your shadow over those who before dawn will die Beyond a great vast forest lies the desolate land Ruled by men controlled by Satans hand Craving for the ever blood dripping saints stone And with dark rites in the nights blackest hour Nightmares strife for the darksides blessing and the higher power And the mantel of power should be shouldered by the firstborn The one who crave evil and all kinds of human feelings scorn He who drank his fathers blood and leaves his foes ripped and torn And which the king halls up high since long forlorn Have you ever wondered what's beyond the human sphere To behold life through deaths dark veils from the demons lair To stand above the eternal rest and every night rise up from your tomb And behold life like the ones who with teeth was born from their mothers womb For I am death and so you shall be When on the nightwing you ride with me The warlocks deciple, enchanter of ghouls With exposed fangs from which the blood drouls Nightwing - storm through eternity And rip asunder those who fall for the human mockery Within the massive castlewalls lurks the evil now again Which with wise men made a truse by giving the blood of gods best men He who possessess the gift which sends shivers down the spine And awaken people who step away from the mortal worlds decline He is the fierce creature which the angels fear to chase Who see pain as passion and lives at war with the mortal race His tomb is for any horse to cross like a mountain step He has come to awake the devil from his sleep The warlocks deciple, enchanter of ghouls With exposed fangs from which the blood drouls Pulled from our frail existence by the claws of death To defy the scythe and feel the reapers breath To walk the tunnel backwards when you first life has been slain And when all mortal feelings has ceased to cause you pain For I am darkness and so you shall be As on the nightwing you ride with me 

6. Dreams of Blood and Iron 06:20

  The ravagings through his homeland gave the dragon the realm of Sebes

By saving his people from the turks and powers fatal to the flesh

But the turkish sultan Murad saw this as a treason to their deal

And swore to his god that one day the dragons fate he would seal

Across the donau with peace in mind the three of them ride

Dracul his father and brother was captured on the floods other side

The dragon swore his soul to the turkish realm of the sand

And left his sons to their fate in the infidel muslim land

As time went by Dracul for humans grew a great disgust

Aswell as expiering the pleasures of the harems

sinful lust

Decietfulness , intrepidity and cruelty would become his name

Man or beast, muslim or christian it would all be the same

Brother Radu won the hearts of the turks and become Murads own son

While Vlad's powerful innerself would make him king in the long run

But as thunderbolt from clearblue sky

Message that father Dracul had died

Words have arrived that brother Mircea has been captured and buried alive

Dracul swore that his killer, Hunyadi, wouldn't be able to survive

Along with the turks he turned against the first goal he could see

The wallachian throne ruled by pro-hungarian family Danesti

Two months later Dracul was cast out from rule

By conspiering forces who feared the lion and desired a mule

In fear of the turks and his fathers hungarian slayers

He fled to Moldavia and hoped that lord Bogdan would answear to his

prayers

Lord Bogdan of Moldavia has fallen from rule in a pool of blood

Assassinated by rivalry powermongers to the fathersbrother of prince Vlad

Strengthened by promises of his cousins blood and steel

Dracul now will force his opponents to before him kneel

His fathers and brothers killers trust he now will earn

The realm of Transilvania awaits with fear his return

With twenty thousand crusaders he will drive poles through

Every follower of Danesti ruler Vladislav II

7. Dracole Wayda 04:08

  Back in Transilvania to be met by the news

Which struck the christian world as a blaze

Konstantinopel has fallen into the hands of the turks

And the emperor Konstantin is dead

The fear of the turks is growing but the sword of Dracul

Will show the muslims the reapers face

Vlad now took shelter in Sibiu so the coloured ones

Couldn't manage to get his head

A servant of god in league with Satan

A christian crusader who made the angels cry

A defender of moral and faith with nature bread by hellspawn

As driven by demonforces his army the muslims and christians

defy

But four years after his departure from the town Vlad appeared outside town

In the forests cold haze

His wallachian army slaughtered, tortured and plundered Sibiu

As raging demons terror they spread

Teared apart, impaled on poles now ten thousand of his countrymen

into the afterworld gaze

Maimed and scattered a few survivors, always to remember this day

Out into the night fled

A servant of god...

Dracul now repair his castle which the tartars centuries ago

Made a rampaged place

"His clothes had to work til the clothes fell from their bodies"

An old chronicle said

From Poenari Vlad rules with an iron hand and his strife for power

^?

Leaves a bloodstained trace

The boyars was gathered for a meeting and soon on poles

They dying blead 

To cherish the soulds of his subjects

In fear of divine punishment and hells embrace

Dracul raised abbeys and supported the church as a sign

To the godwill he god offered

But the mortals he by orgys of bloodshed and torture

Made clear that they Vlad had to praise

Eternal death to thee who had the nerv

To not the voivod and inquisitor dread

A servant of god...

8. Kaziklu Bey (The Lord Impaler) 04:02

Kaziklu Bey - Devils son

Chosen one

After the fourth crusade all christian piety is gone

And the greatest commander against the muslim turks you have now become

Kaziklu Bey - Stormbringer of fright

Now show the world your might

Impale you every foe with delight

And let the frail decend into eternal night

Gather your armies for the decisive fight

Your elite state is now in sight

Storming in fury with ten thousand men

To teach the muslims a lession again

In the port of Giurgiu their ambush will fail

To Wallachia in chains the turks now grow pale

With poles through their bodies they all now will die

And the sultan Muhammed in anguish will cry

At the forthcoming winter the war since long planned

To spread the religion which the turks banned

Went on all the way to the Black sea

Where overwhelming armies forced Dracul to flee

Kaziklu Bey - Lord of blodshed

The infidel you dismembered

Rise and conquer with your army you people from the turkish yoke liberated

After the battle at Giurgiu the deathfigure was 23809 turkish ears, noses and

heads

By poison the wells and burning the land

Dracul only left ashes to the men from the sand

While the peasants joined Dracul the turks heard the cry

Of wolves and only saw vultures in the sky

At the "terror night" Dracul striked the starved turks

And killed thousand and thousand to complicate their works

Next morning the turks found Tirgoviste in flames

And a forest of Impaled men with turkish names

The the sultan gave up his conquering plan

"What can we do against such a man?"

9. Deme Quaden Thyrane 05:07

  On a cold mist october morning

In the year of the lord 1462

The horses appeared on the hills of Brasov

The process of damnation would soon begun

Dracul would show the world how to correct

The rumanians which lacked strength or showed disrespect

The following story is just one of many on Draculs way

To outwipe every opposer who didn't him blindly obey

He killed by crushing them under the wheels of barrows

Others were undressed and skinned alive

To their very bowels and others were still impaled upon wooden poles

Or fried over the glowing embers placed under them

The cold wind of death follow in his way

Deme quaden thyrane

Some of them were run through with stakes that impaled their heads, breasts

and behind

Until the pole was driven through the mouth

To ellude the lack of any cruelty he drew stakes through

The breast of mothers and then he went on by impaling

Their infants upon theese 

The cold wind of death follows in his way

Deme quaden thyrane

So many have to die

By the horrible ways of torturing them

With such instruments that can only be invented

By the most nefarious cruelty possessed

Uttermost dreadful tyrant that ever existed

But the hungarian king Mathias Corvinus now Dracul betrayed

And for twelve long years Vlad now in the kings prison stayed

But the bonds of blood that Dracul in prison tied

Made his king in Wallachia again with Mathias as an allied

With lord Stefan Bathori's army and military skill

Dracul now will make all saches, boyars, Danesti's and turks blood chill

10. Anno Domini 1476 02:11

 But since Stefan failed his word and let Dracul's enemys come from every side

Dracu has no choise but with his two hundred men into death ride

During the last battle the turkish lines begin to scatter

And Vlad rode up on a hill to see the inferior blood splatter

But treasonous boyars ambushed the lion to his blood spill

Dracul fought bravely but the twentieth boyar would be his last kill

When the turks found his body they cutted of his head

Which was stuck on a pole in Konstantinopel to show the muslim world

That Kaziklu Bey was dead

The night of the lord impalers demise the worst storm man could remember

struck the land

Kaziklu Bey was dead but not gone and by thunder his foe's now again could

feel his hand
