Marduk is one of the most easy-to-overlook bands in the realm of black metal, simply because, upon a cursory inspection, they seem to play little more than blast beat-happy black metal throughout their whole discography. The bands career is however much more varied than such a premature assumption would have most people believe, stretching from a very primitive, death metal-oriented beginning towards a relatively cyclic alternation between the faster, more brutal albums and some considerably slower-paced releases. Positioned at the very beginning of this evolution isDark Endless, a unique hybrid of death metal and black metal released at about the same time as several of the more influential Norwegian Second Wave of black metal albums.
