Die nächste MARDUK Scheibe “Memento Mori’ erscheint am 01. September und die schwedischen Black Metal Größen schicken ihr Video zum nächsten Hassbrocken, namens `Shovel Beats Sceptre` los.
Vokalist Daniel Rostén teilt zum Album:
“Memento Mori is, all at once, a bold leap forward, a calculated sidestep, and a wistful backward glance. Meaning, we have broken new ground without forgetting our legacy or the journey that brought us to this point.”

Lyrics:
Has it dawned on you yet?
Have you begun to grasp
That life is not a clock
But an hourglass?
Are you prepared?
Is your rat-nest in order?
Will your mind be at ease
When the shadows grow taller?
Hopeless odds
The game is fixed
See death tear down the playground
A knife in the throat
Just to see if it fits
See life sneak out through the Devil´s hatch
Blazing scythe – book of lies
Scissors beats paper
Orb of flies – throne of mice
Shovel beats sceptre
Hopeless buds
The soil is sick
See reason reach for the tinderbox
A modest flame
And a bundle of sticks
All flesh is grass when the ashes call
Mouths of dirt – angel birth
Tombstone beats feather
Wall of urns – crown of worms
Shovel beats sceptre
Has it dawned on you yet?
Have you begun to grasp
That life is not a clock
But an hourglass?
Are you prepared?
Is your rat-nest in order?
Will your mind be at ease
when the shadows grow taller?
Your days are numbered
No matter what you´ve been told
So, stop now and consider
That you´ve never been this old…
Pope-less odds
The throat is slit
See leafed hands raise the loving cup
A pale vowel
From the deaconess’ lips
All flesh is cash when the gavel falls
Oblong box – gilded cross
Coffin beats saviour
Velvet knots – maggot pox
Shovel beats sceptre
