Marduk – THOSE OF THE UNLIGHT (3LP BOXSET) Vinyl Triple Album / Box Set

Forever dying but never dead – Those Of The Unlight.Even persons only fleetingly interested in the history of Black Metal are likely familiar with one of the genre’s vanguards and altogether most influential bands. Thus, without further ado, let’s get right in the middle of things:In order to honour the legacy of one of the pillars of Black Metal, we are extremely delighted to present you this deluxe triple LP boxset of MARDUK’s sophomore album Those of the Unlight.33 years after its initial release in 1993, the full-length is still widely hailed for its timeless audial magic. Undoubtedly a legendary album it stands out even among MARDUK’s own discography. While Dark Endless still leaned heavily towards Death Metal and their later output frequently put emphasis on speed and brutality, it’s exactly on Those of the Unlight and its successor Opus Nocturne that MARDUK immortalized some of their most brooding and haunting compositions. Showcasing a perfect blend of dark atmosphere and unrelenting heaviness with an exceptional vocal performance by Joakim af Gravf who made his MARDUK debut on the album, songs like “Wolves”, “Burn my Coffin” or the ungodly title track will forever stand as beacons of supreme dark art.This box-set comes with three LPs:LP1: Those of the UnlightContains the full-length with considerably improved audio due to Devo Andersson’s remaster. Also, Those of the Unlight is for the first time officially rereleased with a faithful reproduction of the original cover and layout.LP2: Unlicht 1994 – Live in Berlin/GERFeatures a live show from the Sons of Northern Darkness tour in 1994.LP3: Darkness Breeds Immortality – 30th anniversary show – Norrköping/SWEContains the 30th anniversary concert of Those Of The Unlight where the band played the album in its entirety.Next to the 3 LPs, this limited box-set includes:A huge double-sided A1 poster.And a massive 60-page 12″ booklet with a lot of never-before-seen pictures plus a new interview with Morgan Håkansson.
