LP released: Jul 28, 2023
There are only a few bands in the metal scene who can be considered pioneers, true groundbreakers and leaders of musical movements. When, in 1996, PANZERCHRIST introduced a blackened kind of death metal into Scandinavia, with the debut album "Six Seconds Kill", they carved their name among the style pioneers in Europe, alongside Vader and Bolt Thrower. On the course of the following years, the Danish collective left their mark with hand a dozen relentless albums that left no enemy standing and gained countless troops into their ranks, including enthusiastic members from the press. Unfortunately, Panzerchrist were also plagued by lineup bumps, which left the band silent for a decade after "7th Offensive", released in 2013. The new album "Last Of A Kind", recorded at Antfarm Studios and produced by Tue Madsen, solves both these problems - the silence in the Panzerchrist camp and the lineup instability - by adding a renewed blood with experience in the scene and enough bloodshed in their minds to make an album worth of the Danes' name... And then some. The fury, tightness and fastness that are Panzerchrist's soul are here, untouched and crowned by a renewed sense of evilness, embodied by Sonja Rosenlund Ahl vicious vocals. Yes sir, Panzerchrist is back, but it's not just back: it's back with a vengeance and an insane amount of interests in regards of the one-year debt they owe us! |
