Swedish death metal giants PAGANIZER release their latest masterpiece today

PAGANIZER_cover220531

The latest Paganizeralbum officially just dropped and it’s met with a great response all over. It’s easily their most mature and tempered album till date, and bears a delectable mix of their kind of trademark heaviness coupled with melodic sections. The album gets better as it progresses and there’s enough diversity for everyone to enjoy their music, if they’re into this kind of old school death metal. The album is presently streaming in full on Bandcamp and YouTube, and the promo will be sent out again in case it’s been overlooked. Thanks a lot to everyone who covered this release!

Swedish death metal giants Paganizer have taken their time to come up with their most mature album till date. They’ve honed their sound, become more expressive, and made their song structures even more elaborate, without diluting any of the qualities that we’ve come to expect from them. There is a flawless combination of tuneful riffs, stomping parts, brisk blasting and some of the best hooks in the genre, underpinned by a glorious albeit tasteful sense of melody. Littered with memorable riffs and stirring melodies, the songs are at once pummelling and evocative, ensuring the desired heaviness and managing to leave a lasting impression as well. The stunning Juanjo Castellano artwork lends to the album a mystifying, otherworldly aura that goes perfectly with this album where Rogga Johansson tries to go above and beyond the call of duty and delivers a hard-hitting and poignant masterpiece in this realm of death metal.
