Themes[]

On La Grande Danse Macabre, the theme is death. The lyrical themes are primarily reflective of this, with litterings present of the Satanic themes on which the band initially based themselves. The band's previous albums had been themed on blood (Nightwing) and war (Panzer Division Marduk), forming a trilogy of "Blood, War and Death", Marduk's vision of what black metal is.
