I like to listen to the metal band Marduk. They are from Norrkoping, Sweden.
Really? That's cool, I've never heard of them before. Are they an old band?
They were formed in 1990 and released the first album in 1992.
Wow, have you ever seen them in concert? Are they still around?
They are still playing but I have never seen them in concert. They are named from the Babylonian god of Babylon.
Interesting. How many people are in the band? Is there anything unique about them?
There are 3 members of the band. They like to sing about Satanism and Biblical tales.
Gee, that sounds a little heavy. I don't listen to music like that. Do they have lots of fans in Sweden?

The band members started to wear large bear masks in album art and promotional photographs sometime after 2006, before that they appeared in concert and on photos without disguises. The band initially consisted of Patrik Arve and brothers Joakim and Klas Åhlund, before drummer Olsson joined them. They released their debut album "You Are Teddybears" in 1993 and their second album, titled "I Can't Believe
