Paganizer have honed their sound which is evident listening to their latest album. It’s sharper, tighter and definitely more mature, providing more variations than before. The track premiered by Heavy Blog Is Heavy AT THIS LINK is a perfect example of that – it showcases the melodic prowess of the band and is just a stunning, unforgettable track –
“The band is firing on all cylinders here, churning out catchy riffs that establish themselves without ever overstaying their welcome. It also displays Rogga Johansson’s masterful approach to tempo, as the track feels appropriately propulsive without missing out on the hefty gut punch inherent in the best death metal. It’s another incredible track from one of Swedish death metal’s least sung heroes“

After the success of Paganizer‘s landmark album, Land of Weeping Souls, Rogga Johansson and crew have taken things up a notch, working harder than ever before to present an album with the best possible qualities that the band is known for over the years. Featuring jaw-dropping artwork from the master himself, Dan Seagrave, steps have been taken to ensure that nothing falls short with this release in any way. Musically, it’s the same crushing death metal machine laden with catchy hooks and riffs that embed themselves in your memory for aeons while ever so deftly switching tempos without letting go of the brutality. This here is Swedish death metal at its finest. The maniacal rush is tempered beautifully with reflective leads and shades of wistful melancholy, which is something Rogga Johansson is getting adept at, as evidenced by his recent solo band material. The Tower of the Morbid stands tall among its peers for creating timeless, perfected death metal meant for fans of all schools, old and new.
