Music isn’t the art form most suited to sequels, so it may not have much competition, but Panzerfaust’s The Suns Of Perdition must be among the best metal album trilogies ever.

Have you seen it's been released on bandcamp? Vinyl, shirts, etc now available for preorder.

They released this on bandcamp a few minutes ago. Sounds like straight post-metal so far (3 tracks in). Almost like a copy and paste of an Isis or Rosetta album.

^^ Weird, the singles sounded like a natural continuation of Chapter II... Nothing too post-metally tbh. Need to check the whole thing though.

I wouldn't say it is really too similar to Isis or Rosseta. However, it is true that it has more post-metallic softness to it and lacks the intensity of the previous records.
I really enjoyed it, but, as a whole, it comes a bit short after too virtually perfect albums.

I imagine the Isis/Rosetta C+P comment is slightly hyperbolic, as I think there's a sizeable gap between 'black-heavy post-metal' and what those bands do. Still, this is clearly a big step away from post-y black metal to blackened post-metal; I think it sounds pretty great, but it's entirely possible some will find that it loses a touch of the magic that Chapters I and II had

F**king love this band.
All their music giving me apocalyptic vibes like falling into endless abyss of pure chaos.
Something like the vibes from Deathspell Omega or Ulcerate.

Post black metal
Blackened post metal

You guys can throw whatever label you want at it.

For me Panzerfaust have created yet another album of astonishing quality.

I agree. It definitely has post vibes - but that's by no means a bad thing

One of the best black metal bands around atm, their sound and style is definitely up there with Mgła and Blut Aus Nord imo. The atmosphere they bring is something truly special, even the instrumental interludes are stunning, I would say this is one of the most impressive black metal release so far this year.

"The Far Bank at the River Styx", "Bonfire of the Insanities", and "Bonfire of the Insanities" are the main highlights for me in that order.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm always open to new stuff. Are all their songs in French, though? I never got the chance to learn any 😭😭😭

This band is complete absurdity, no sound, no idea of ​​music, a complete continuous chaos of sound, as if everything was recorded on interpretation at the moment. the same work as those vaunted lay people Cult of Luna.. Complete absurdity and some give it high marks?! a complete musical farce

I was actually listening to Panzerfaust yesterday and thought that the last two tracks are very schammaschy.

Ugh heard a few tracks from Kardashev seems too sound almost like any other brutal death metal band with the death rours screams and everything else. The Atmospheric side helps it stand out a bit more but that's really it. I don't think what Kardashev is doing is anymore original then what this band does. Although the vocals and Atmospheric and schammascy sound in this is more interesting. It's not like we have a huge category of this stuff like Isis, Cult of Luna, and schammasch compared to the many deathcore and brutal death metal bands that have the same sound and growls and screams.
