As part of their 20th anniversary celebrations, Swedish power trio MÄRVEL will release the double vinyl compilation “Double Decade” in the beginning of 2023. Packed with Märvel’s patented take on high-octane and super catchy rock’n’roll, the double vinyl contains Märvel‘s greatest hits, previously impossible to get B-sides, and rare tracks, all newly mastered by Magnus Lindberg (The Hellacopters, Imperial State Electric, Cult Of Luna, The Datsuns, Tribulation, Lucifer). 

The compilation also includes two brand new, previously unreleased songs, mixed by Robert Pehrsson (Dundertåget, Death Breath, Robert Pehrsson’s Humbucker). One of these new tracks is called “Catch 22” and is released as a digital single on the 20th of January.

Märvel on “Catch 22”: 

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try you end up with your beard in the mailbox or pants down to your ankles with a school-bus full of idiots laughing at you. You just can’t win. And even more sometimes, you’re in a relationship where you can’t stand each other but still can’t exist without each other.

Catch 22 was recorded during the studio sessions for the album Graces Came With Malice. We felt it didn’t quite fit the theme of the album but it was still a strong song that we wanted to highlight in a special way. By including it in Double Decade we’re looking backwards and forwards at the same time. Like a rear-view mirror facing forwards.

The double vinyl “Double Decade” will be available in two different set of colors, one containing 2x transparent clear vinyl, and the other containing one transparent orange and one transparent purple vinyl. Both versions come in a luxurious gatefold with an exclusive booklet. “Double Decade” will be released on The Sign Records on February 24, 2023, and can be pre-ordered now. The album is available for pre-order through Bandcamp or at THIS LOCATION

After releasing their 9th studio album “Graces Came with Malice” in April 2022, followed by organizing their own two day festival “Märvelfest” and heading on a tour in Spain, the Swedish power trio MÄRVEL continues the celebration of their 20 year anniversary. In the beginning of 2023, the group will be releasing the double vinyl compilation “Double Decade”. Packed with Märvel’s patented take on high-octane and super-catchy rock’n’roll, the double vinyl contains Märvel‘s greatest hits remastered and previously impossible to get B-sides and rare tracks, as well as two brand new, previously unreleased tracks.

The first of these brand new tracks is called “Turn the Page” and is released as a digital single on the 2nd of December. Listen to the track via your favorite streaming platform or right here:

Märvel on “Turn the Page”: 
“This song was inspired by the way Sweden’s king Carl XVI Gustav handled his affair of infidelity in the Stockholm archipelago by stating that he and the queen would simply turn the page. You don’t have to be a monarch to see the value of being able to move in life without bitterness and remorse. Instead of clinging on to old injustices, ask for forgiveness and a hug and get on with your life. Because life is too short to hold grudges.

Turn the page was recorded at Solskensfabriken while we were working on the album Graces Came With Malice. We loved the songs from the start but it didn’t fit the album. Now it will get its revenge and a moment to shine.“

The double vinyl “Double Decade” will be available in two different set of colors, one containing 2x transparent clear vinyl, and the other containing one transparent orange and one transparent purple vinyl. Both versions come in a luxurious gatefold with an exclusive booklet. “Double Decade” will be released on The Sign Records on February 24, 2023. The album is available for pre-order HERE

High energy garage rock trio MÄRVEL launch the single and music video “Great Man” on March 11. The single is the fifth and final one leading up to the Swedes’ ninth studio album “Graces Came With Malice”, set for release on April 22 as part of Märvel’s 20 year anniversary.

Listen to “Great Man” through your favorite streaming platform or watch the brand new video here:

Märvel comments on the single “Great Man”:
“Some people are born with a genuine talent and they could easily conquer the moon and the stars. But for some reason they allow their demons to take over and they ruin it all for themselves. Some kind of self-destructo-mode is put into high gear. This song is about trying to lend some courage to those people, some courage to make them reach out and ask for help. You gotta believe that there’s still hope even if things are looking pretty bad.“

“Graces Came With Malice” will be released on The Sign Records on vinyl, CD, and all digital platforms. The physical record can be pre-ordered here:

High energy rock ‘n’ roll outfit MÄRVEL releases the single and music video “Sound of Life Slipping Away” on the 28th of January. The masked power trio from Sweden blends classic heavy metal influenced riffs with melodic vocals on the new track, which is mixed by Robert Pehrsson. “Sound of Life Slipping Away” is the fourth single leading up to Märvel‘s ninth album “Graces Came With Malice“, set for release in April via The Sign Records as part of the band’s 20-year anniversary.

The band comments:
“Sound of Life Slipping Away comes out of a place of frustration and anger. The lyrics are sort of dreamlike and paints a rather confusing story that might not make much sense to some. But it’s about trying to communicate a feeling rather than telling a straight story. Together with the energetic up-beat music it makes an interesting combination, like a french hotdog crusted with homemade lingonberry jam.”
