Swedish black metal legends Marduk have announced a series of headlining shows across Europe this fall, scheduled around their tour with Norwegian black metal pioneers Mayhem.
The tour spans from September 30 to October 18, with dates including KrakĂłw, Poland; Ostrava, Czech Republic; Zagreb, Croatia; Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina; Skopje, North Macedonia; Helmond, Netherlands; and Leipzig, Germany.
In addition to the tour, Marduk has unveiled two premium collectible lines in collaboration with record label and creative house Down With The Most High Productions.
The 'Militaria' and 'Fuck Me Jesus' collections mark a significant evolution in the band’s physical legacy, moving beyond conventional merchandise to create high-end, archival pieces.
The Militaria collection emphasizes military history and heraldic imagery, featuring a bespoke cast iron cross with the Marduk wolf pentagram, a ceremonial Marduk Legions military standard banner embroidered on black velvet with metallic silver, matte red and black threads, a large synthetic leather back patch with liner notes, a double-sided T-shirt in Black and Army Green editions, a 7-inch brushed metal pentagram sticker, and a 50mm metallic badge button.
The Fuck Me Jesus collection celebrates the 35th anniversary of Marduk’s 1991 demo tape, one of the most influential releases in extreme metal history.
It includes a hand-moulded die-cast bronze sculpture with an aged green patina, a 100Ă—100 cm textile banner flag, and a 50mm metallic badge on a custom backing card.
Both collections will be officially unveiled for the first time at the Beyond the Gates Festival in Bergen, Norway, in July.
Attendees will have the opportunity to examine the craftsmanship, materials, and packaging at the Down With The Most High stand.
Daniel Dabadan Gayoso, Founder of Down With The Most High Productions, said: "It was our intention from the very start that this extreme music memorabilia be made into something more permanent and archival.
Having done this with the Celtic Frost series, we decided to take things to another level with Marduk.
These pieces are cast in heavy bronze, woven into velvet, and presented with the care usually reserved for historical exhibits because this music deserves a permanent physical legacy." Morgan, Marduk guitarist and founder, added: "Marduk has never been a band that was willing to compromise on the weight of our concept or our visual output.
This production is the physical manifestation of our approach.
These pieces are raw, heavy, and forged with an absolute dedication to detail, making them genuine, tangible pieces of the band’s history and not just some fleeting product.
This is for the die-hard maniacs, for the legion!"
