Given how important live concerts are to the black metal experience, one would think that there would be a lot more live albums by black metal artists. But in fact, the majority of black metal bands have not provided live albums. Marduk, thankfully, have provided more than one live album; Warschau is the third live release from these Swedish black metal veterans. Warschau is the German name for the city of Warsaw (in Polish, Warsaw is called Warszawa), and this 74-minute CD was recorded at the venue Proxima in Poland's largest city on September 17, 2005, during a tour of Europe. Marduk have had their share of lineup changes over the years; on Warschau, the 2005 lineup consists of Mortuus, aka Arioch (of Funeral Mist fame) on lead vocals, founder Morgan Håkansson on guitar, Magnus "Devo" Andersson on bass, and Emil Dragutinovic on drums.
