I saw Marduk open for Danzig in Sthlm, 2003. Def not a bm fan back then. Associated it w/ nerds turning their misogyny and alienation into ideology and weak music. I drank waiting for Glenn to get on stage.
Maybe Håkansson formed Devils Whorehouse before '03 but they appeared on the radar then. A jaded Misfits aficionado, I was sold. Best execution of tribute concept in history. They remedied the awkward band name and took the death/punk/crust throne Genocide SS left when Mieszko died.
