Marduk DVD and Re-Issue CD Get Release Date

Candlelight Records with Regain Records confirm August 23 as the stateside re-issue date of Marduk's World Funeral. Also scheduled for release is the band's official dvd, Funeral Marches & Warsongs. Both titles are currently unavailable in the US and follow the ongoing success of the band's latest album, Plague Angel.

Originally released in 2003, World Funeral (cd) plus Funeral Marches & Warsongs (dvd) captures the unholy essense that is, was and will always be Marduk. Their dvd features a one-off reunion with Joakim Af Gravf and was professionally filmed on various festivals and locations in Europe. Adding to the band's already impressive worldwide career sales, both titles find their triumphant return to US stores as the band eagerly anticipates their return to US shores, tentatively planned for later this year.

Formed over a decade ago, Sweden's Marduk found immediate worldwide acclaim for their innovative sound. "The men in black wear every one of their bloody victories proudly on their shirtsleeves," says Digital Metal. The band currently features bassist Magnus Devo Andersson, vocalist Mortuus, drummer Fredrik Andersson and founder/guitarist Morgan Hakansson. Marduk are featured on the cover of Metal Maniacs' August issue, currently on newstands nationwide.
