PANZERFAUST - The Suns of Perdition I: War, Horrid War
Eisenwald
So when I saw this in the emails I was kinda excited to hear this new one. A few years back I picked up this Canadian black metal band's third full length, Jehovah-Jireh: The Divine Anti-logos, used on a chance. Damm if that one was an eye and ear opening experience in a band pushing genre limits while still standing firm on the platform. I really wanted to take that dink and slice the face of a local hipster scribe who years before said "Black Metal needs to progress in order to be taken seriously." Yeah well history has proven me right and the hiptards wrong.
PANZERFAUST are modern black metal with touches of death metal as well as industrial sounds. Their essence lies in how they take the face of humanity. Make it stare into a mirror and then take a sharp scalpel to slice the facial skin in order to expose the ugliness underneath. On this one here we have the first chapter of their new trilogy which covers war. They're not holding back at all. PANZERFAUST set a horrendous pace which is part full on blackened attack and another being the violent carnage. Aside from the music which comes across like a mix of BEHEMOTH meets DEATHSPELL OMEGA inside 1349's practice space. The vocals alternate between rasps, howls and dominating throaty spoken word paths.
The only downside here is that it's more like an EP in length than a full length. Maybe that's a smart move by design since this is such an epic construct. Now they have to take on a second chapter which will be no easy feat.
