about

With “Maleficium Part 2”, PANZERCHRIST complete their ambitious double-album concept with a blistering new chapter of blackened death metal brutality. Released digitally by Emanzipation Productions, this follow-up to “Maleficium Part 1” (December 2024) shows the Danish cult band in top form, delivering their most intense and emotionally charged material to date.

Rooted in the legacy of the 1990s Scandinavian death metal underground, Panzerchrist continue to push boundaries, for one last time under the direction of founding member and songwriter Michael Enevoldsen, who has since stepped down from the band. With his blessing, the remaining members carry forward his legacy, forging ahead with renewed purpose and fire. On “Maleficium Part 2”, the band expand their sonic palette with explosive tempos, melodic synth textures and apocalyptic doom passages, forging a sound that is both savage and cinematic.

The album’s lyrical concept once again centers around the theme of witchcraft - this time diving deeper into narratives of persecution, grief, moral corruption, and their reflection in today’s world. Vocalist Sonja Rosenlund Ahl delivers a powerful and visceral performance that balances aggression and poetic nuance, further evolving her presence since her debut with the band.

Produced, mixed and mastered by renowned metal producer Tue Madsen (At The Gates, Illdisposed, Behemoth) at Antfarm Studios, the result is a raw and punishing sonic landscape that elevates the album’s dramatic weight. Guitarists Frederik O’Carroll and Danny Bo unleash complex riff work and harmonized melodies, while drummer Ove Lungskov channels the spirit of extreme metal legends like Reno Kiilerich with blast beats and footwork bordering on the inhuman.

With “Maleficium Part 2”, Panzerchrist deliver one of the most extreme and refined statements of their career - a release that marks a new high point for one of Denmark’s most enduring names in death metal.

Sonja says: “The songs on “Maleficium” reach a new level of depth and rawness, which has given me the opportunity to experiment with both lyrics, wordflow and vocal techniques. I am honestly so proud of the result!”

Frederik concurs: ““Maleficium pt 2” completes the work that was started with part 1. Together, perhaps the best collection of songs from the band”.

Blackbraid I

Blackbraid is a spiritual force in the black metal scene, bringing a unique perspective and culture that was missing until the release of this album. 'Barefoot Ghost Dance on Bloodsoaked Soil' is immensely powerful, showing me that black metal is as strong as ever. 'The River of Time Flows Through Me' is excellent as well, with a crushing melody and unforgettable song title. Hail Sgah'gahsowáh, the new blood of black metal. Obsidian One

Striving Toward Oblivion

Here's to some more cosmic metal, the Karlsruhe based outfit offers crude yet extremely well produced sound in this earlier effort. Featuring mid-tempo cadences, occasional blast beating, high pitched shrieking essentially, the riffing has this mildly meaty, sensational over-atmospheric tilt that's always well received on my part. The perspective of getting sucked into a wormhole had never felt better I kid you not. Emperor and Inherits the Void in mind, you just can't skip this one. doive

If I forget what I am listening to, I find myself wondering which Florida legend is playing? This is that level of old school goodness. Leper Colony nailed the Morrisound! I also enjoyed the harsh vocals, recalling Obituary as well as NOLA faves Crowbar and Soilent Green. GMurphrygian

One of the OSDM in Sweden that clearly kept the "American" (i.e. Obituary) style flame alive, to be very clear that this ain't the classic Swedish melodeath. FFO Grave, Dismember, Vomitory, Demonical, etc. While waiting for the newest album to drop, I am really enjoying the memorable riffs that PAGANIZER offered in this opus. It's OSDM that is fun to listen to! sashavonkarl74
