Marduk's "Dark Endless" isn't black metal

I can't seem to locate the original thread that Ben posted when he nominated Marduk's debut album "Dark Endless" for the Hall of Judgement so I thought I'd create a new one to announce the result. I've decided to pass Ben's submission to remove "Dark Endless" from The North based on the fact that the current vote count is 4-0 in the positive which gives a strong indication that the vote will eventually pass & also that if the album were added to the site today it wouldn't qualify for a position in The North. This was Ben's original argument:

"I've been listening to Marduk's Dark Endless this week and have been surprised by just how little black metal it contains. There are a couple of riffs that border on black metal, but the vast majority of it is clear-cut death metal. Despite Marduk's long discography of black metal material that they've released since this album was dropped, it feels very wrong for the debut to be associated with The North."
