They picked Marduk's Opus Nocturne in the number 2 spot, so I decided to check it out. As you might expect, they start with an intro-nearly every black metal album does. Opus Nocturne is a quite obscure album also from the point of view of the famousness because many of the black metal fans started to love this band with Panzer Division Marduk that, even if was devastating, was in one sense only for the pure violence and speed, without that deserved and amazing atmosphere the band recreated on this Opus Nocturne.

Opus Nocturne (1994) by Marduk. Labels: Osmose Productions. Songs: The Appearance Of Spirits Of Darkness, Sulphur Souls, From Subterranean Throne Profound, Autumnal Reaper, Materialized In Stone, On Untrodden Paths (Wolves Part II. .Members: Joakim Gothberg, Morgan Hakansson, B. War, Fredrik Andersson.

Because of this, Marduk is often dismissed by many as lacking in quality and artistic credibility, understandably so. However, their 1994 release Opus Nocturne stands firmly as being by far Marduk’s best album and as a noteworthy release in the black metal genre at large.

Sure, Marduk is worthy of some acclaim, having carried the flag for no-bones-about-it, punch-in-the-nose black metal since the early '90s, but the band always struggled to put together a consistently memorable album - especially one that didn't use blastbeats as an ever-present creative crutch. Opus Nocturne, unfortunately, is no different.
