In the recent Terrorizer Writers' Poll 1999, Panzer Division Marduk stormed in at number 26. Here is what they said:
"Long threatened, much dreaded, Marduk's infernal invasion burst forth upon us with all the subtlety of 6000 artillery pieces kicking off Operation Barbarossa. Heavy Metal's love affair with the tank can have no more extreme consummation in this lovelorn ode to the armoured fighting vehicle."

Marduk was recently meant to play 5 shows in the eastern European counties of Belarus, Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania but these were cancelled at the last minute. Needless to say the eastern fans were thoroughly hacked off and some have called for a boycott of all things Marduk.
Legion, the vocalist of Marduk had the following to say:
"This is Legion of Marduk speaking, and this is the real truth about what really happened at the Russian border: When we got to Gdansk where we should pick up the papers, we were told by our tour manager Eddy that no papers were ready and that the bus which was going to pick us up never came. Our tour bus was forbidden to go into Russia by the company (Liberty). We were told by the tour manager that if we passed the border we would be arrested at once and have all our stuff confiscated by the police. So during the days off that followed, a guy named Eddy escaped with all the ticket money of the previous shows. According to Johan, the head of Metallysee agency, he was arrested by Dutch police on the 26th of November. We were told afterwards that the papers had been at the embassy, that the new bus was at the border and even that the Latvian promoter arranged a bus for himself to pick us up in order to do that show. But we were never told by the tourmanager since he had decided to rip Metallysee off and needed the days off to make it happen. If we didn't want to play in the east, we never would have booked these shows. What band wouldn't wanna play in front of thousands of crazy people? Our roadcrew have been there before and told us about the killer clubs over there and guys from Cannibal Corpse told us that those shows are the most fun to play.
Since there are so many people and all of them are into the show (which was the main reason for us to book these shows) we realize that great damage has been done, but we are just as deceived and ripped off as you. We were lied to and betrayed by the motherfucker who should get us the papers. Instead he let us take the blame and left us with no money for gas or food. We are sorry and hope to be able to come over and play as soon as possible. As it looks now the shows will take place in late January 2000. This is what we were put through by the cocksucker who is a dead man next time we see him.
Yours sincerely, Legion, on behalf of Marduk."
