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《FUCK 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。 1993年，乐队与NO FASHIONS公司产生矛盾并且转签了一家法国公司OSMOSE PRODUCTIONS, 随后乐队在此家公司发表了他们的第二张专辑《THOSE OF THE UNLIGHT》，1994年，MARDUK第一次参加了一个在挪威举行的重金属音乐节，同年5月和月，乐队和同公司的IMMORTAL一同进行了一个名为“SON OF NORTHERN DARKNESS”的欧洲巡回演出。93年秋天，乐队完成新专辑《OPUS NOCTURNE》的录制并于年末发表。1995年2月，MARDUK第二次欧洲巡回演出开始，这次演出被命名为“THE WINTER WAR”，一同参加的还有ENSLAVED乐队。这次演出其实也是为乐队重新发表小专辑《FUCK ME JESUS》作宣传。但由于封面的关系，此张专辑被禁止在6个国家发行。6月初，乐队在墨西歌城进行了一次演出，剩下的时间则用来准备下一张专辑。Marduk 现场演出照(20张)1996年2月，MARDUK再一次进入录音棚录制他们的新专辑《HEAVEN SHALL BURN…WHEN WE ARE GATHERED》，此张专辑创下了乐队销量的新纪录，同时在BLACKMETAL界也被认为是一座里程碑。乐队在专辑中表现出了出色的个人技术，并很少有在整张专辑中表现出如此的杀气腾腾。秋天，乐队与GEHENNA、MYSTICUM一起进行了一次很长时间的巡回演出，在演出途中，乐队又发表了一张小专辑《GLORIFICATION》，其中包括了乐队翻唱的BATHORY，PILEDRIVER和DESTRUCTION的曲目。97年春天，乐队又一次进行了名为“LEGION”的欧洲巡回演出，此后，乐队发行了一张现场专辑《LIVE IN GERMANIA》，此张现场包括了乐队在德国等三个国家的现场录音，11月，乐队在瑞典新成立的小公司SHADOW REC。发行了他们早期作品专辑《HERE’S NO PEACE》，之后，乐队开始着手准备《HEAVEN。。。》的续章《NIGHTWING》。Marduk Tattoo照片(14张)1998年，《NIGHRWING》终于与歌迷们见了面，整张专辑分为两个部分分别命名为：“DICTIONARIE INFERNAL”和“THE WARLORD OF WALLACHIA”。第一部分包括了“PRELUDIUM”、“BLOODTIDE（XXX）”、“OF HELLS FIRE”、“SLAY THE NAZARENE”和“NIGHWING”五首残酷以极的急速歌曲。而第二章的“DREAMS OF BLOOD AND IRON”、“DRACOLE WAYDA”、“KAZIKLU BEY/THE LORD IMPALER”、“DEME QUADEN THYRANE”、“ANNO DOMINI 1476”五首歌曲则反映了VLAD TEPES DRACULEA（中世纪著名的吸血鬼）一生的残酷行径。整张专辑完全表现出了MARDUK作为一支反对基督BLACKMETAL乐队的主题思想。 　1999年，乐队在无任何提前宣传下出版了新专辑《PANZER DIVISION MARDUK》，此张专辑只有不到30分钟的时间，8首歌一气呵成，这次乐队以战争为主题，提倡战争是洗涤人类污秽思想的捷径，一切尽在毁灭中重生。MARDUK作为一支瑞典乐队曾经被人们称为瑞典的挪威乐队，原因是他们不象一般的瑞典BLACKMETAL乐队那样比较注重吉它演奏的旋律感，相反MARDUK的音乐中却充满了早期BLACKMETAL的原始性，而且在他们的新作中体现的更加强烈，这似乎说明乐队开始向根源BLACKMETAL发展。这也正是MARDUK所吸引人的地方。乐队在《HEAVEN。。。》这张专辑中曾经明确宣布整张专辑没有运用合成器，也就是说，所有BLACKMETAL中采用大量合成器的潮流背道而驰，当你在欣赏这张专辑的时候，你会被MARDUK那种原始的野性所震撼，在MARDUK众多专辑中，无疑《HEAVEN。。。》是最出色的一张，同时，在BLACKMETAL史上，此张专辑也可谓是经典之作。而在其后的《NIGHTWING》则在《HEAVEN。。。》的基础上显得过于单调，但每一首歌曲假如你仔细品味的话，也会发现不失为佳作，尤其是第二部分，慢板的节奏配以雷鸣般的吉它，将中世纪的黑暗刻画的淋漓尽致。MARDUK在黑暗中作了这么长时间的文章，终于在1999年的最新专辑中改变了内容，而这一改变仿佛给人一种感觉——MARDUK终于将真实的思想展露了出来，在有些人看来用一张坦克的照片作为专辑封面似乎有些可笑，但如果你能够体会到战争的残酷，那么你再看到它时就笑不出来了，你可能会惊讶的发现原来MARDUK想要再一次掀起大战，而且战争是由邪恶挑起的，而最终邪恶将战胜所谓的“正义”。所以，MARDUK的音乐是严肃的，无论世界如何改变，这些来自撒旦的军团中的战士都将用他们自己的形式战斗到底——HAIL SATAN！HAIL BLACK WORLD！！Current line-up Morgan "Evil" Steinmeyer Håkansson - Guitars (Abruptum, Devil's Whorehouse, Damien (Swe), Moses)Daniel "Mortuus" Rosten - Vocals (2004-) (Triumphator (Swe), Funeral Mist (Swe))Magnus "Devo" Andersson - Bass (2004-) (also Guitars 1992-1994) (Cardinal Sin (Swe), Sargatanas Reign, IXXI (Session), Overflash, Allegiance (Swe))Lars Broddesson - Drums (2006-) (Excessum (Swe), Absurdeity, Ofermod (Live)) Marduk was a Babylonian Sky God who created the earth and sky from the body of the great dragon Tiamat who was the mother of all beings.TIMELINE 1990 - Morgan who desires to create the most brutal and blasphemous metal act ever forms Marduk. 1991 - “Fuck Me Jesus” is being released. - Records but choose not to release the 7” “Here’s No Peace”. - Plays their first, now considered cult, shows. 1992 - Debut album “Dark Endless” is recorded in June and released during the winter solstice. - All through the year Marduk performs on various locations in Sweden rapidly adding followers and supporters to their fanbase. 1993 - No Fashion rips the band off badly. - Sign a record deal with French label Osmose. - The 2nd fullenght album “Those of the Unlight” is released in October.1994 - The first Marduk gig abroad takes place at a Black Metal festival in Oslo, Norway in April. - Quickly there after; during May and June, Marduks first European tour entitled “Son’s of Northern Darkness” is done. - During falltime the third fullengt album “Opus Nocturne” is recorded and land on the recordshelves by the end of the year. 1995 - European headlining tour “Winter War” takes place in February. - “Fuck Me Jesus” is re-released as a MCD in April. - First time on the other side of the Atlantic.
