[edit] Facts about the CD
In this CD, Marduk evokes a war themed album. The concept of war is in every track, the Second World War being evoked in particular this made the NSBM fans mark the band as one of then, fact that Legion, in an interview to Brazilian Black Metal Magazine 'A Obscura Arte', despises, telling that Marduk hasn't any political point on the band lyrics, and the band has not to do with nazi views. Even Morgan has stated that this album wasn't NSBM. Panzer Division Marduk earned a lot of blacklash from some NSBM bands of Ukraine, mainly Euginy Gipon's Nokturnal Mortum. Gipon stated once that he'd like to "rip apart those jew fuckers"(Marduk) for disgracing Nazi ideology. In several songs on his side project "Aryan Terrorism" Gipon has stated his strong hatred for Marduk and the album. In fact the use of Nazis in it is that they are seen as the ultimate evil, while the allies were christianity. This can easily be deciphered if you read the lyrics to the song "Panzer Division Marduk", in which the last line is "against christianity and your worthless humanity", nothing to do with anti jew sentiments.
Note the cover from the album is a photo of a Swedish tank used in World War II, not a German one.
In the words of Legion (in the same interview), the theme of the album is war, as Nightwing was blood, and La Grande Danse Macabre was Death, forming a trilogy of 'Blood, War and Death', Marduk's vision of what is Black Metal.
