Rating: I could write many lines about this band, but I'll just say that I didn't have much fondness for them until this masterpiece fell upon my ears. This "World Funeral" is an excellent demonstration of how this band has managed to grow.
The CD consists of 11 songs that will certainly leave plenty of emotions in your head. It ranges from direct and absolutely horrific songs like the opener "With Satan And Victorious Weapon" and "World Funeral" to other slow and intense ones, typical of the black style, like "Bleached Bones" or "To The Death's Head True". The production has now reached the limit of perfection.
A note should also be spared for the lovely cover! This will make you understand many things about the CD! In the most personal opinion of yours truly, we are looking at one of the best CDs by MARDUK. With the addition of the excellent Emil Dructinovic, the band is in optimal form (let's say that the previous drummer certainly wasn’t lacking in power, but was a bit static). Along with "Butchered at Birth", this "World Funeral" could be the soundtrack for my funeral.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
02 Bleached Bones (05:20)
Loving the dead
A torso, a hand or a severed head
The cemetery girls don't say no to their fate
When their bodies gets too rotten
Their skeletons do great
Lurking in the shadows with you on my mind
I'm engulfed by your beauty:
I'm a man who's gone blind
Watching you move so graceful this night
I'm going to catch you how I long for this fight
Smelling your hair as I'm working my knife
I adore how you scream when I take your life
How I love your pale white skin
And the emptiness in your lifeless eyes
And how I love the warmth within
Like the blood that sprayed
When you stopped your cries
Your naked corpse is as beautiful
As the down when it comes with the first sunray
But it was your peeled bleached bones
That really took my breath away
Admiring your beauty my wonderful rose
Oh what pleasures you'll give me
Before you decompose
But the darkness has fallen and the clock strikes ten
Excuse me may daring but the shadows
Are calling again
How I love your pale white skin
And the emptiness in your lifeless eyes
And how I love the warmth within
Like the blood that the sprayed
When you stopped your cries
Your naked corpse as beautiful
As the down when it comes with the firs sunray
But it was your peeled bleached bones
That really blew my mind away
How I love your pale white skin
And the emptiness in your lifeless eyes
And how I love the warmth within
Like the blood that sprayed
When you stopped your cries
Your naked corpse as beautiful
As the down when it comes with the firs sunray
But it was your peeled bleached bones
That really stole my heart away
09 Bloodletting (05:48)
Drain the blood, fill the barrels to the verge
Vein must flood, bodycount is rising for the dirge
All the creatures that are breathing must be bled
Cure of the ancients, ultimately we are all dead
Bloodletting
Rip my vein open and let the blood rain
Bloodletting
Splash in a gusher my soul will be stained
We all must bleed
The ones among stardust the ones of the deepest pits
Apostles of christ and those who so perfectly into hell fits
All behind heavens door and the ones to the ocean floor
Strong and beautiful or uttermost twisted
All will they bleed
Bloodletting
My bleeding inclination
Bloodletting
Your damnation
Drain the blood, fill the barrel to the verge
Vein must flood, bodycount is rising for the dirge
Wake up from this dream, the scythe you must kiss
And abandon the nightmare the flestful dream that life is
Bloodletting
Love the pain of the knife
Bloodletting
Death is bloodletting life
Till the final drop
