Panzerfaust - The Suns Of Perdition - Chapter IV: To Shadow Zion

This might be their best album. Doesn't have the same density of super catchy banger hook driven tracks as some of the predecessors (fowler, trinity, styx etc) but from front to back this is album is just about perfect, never gets old, even the slower middle track kills it. I was actually excited to get to work this morning and starting looping this, very little impresses my black soul these days, but this did. I am on like my 20th spin rn

Just seen them play in London.

Oh man! That was total music.

Yeah they were fantastic weren't they - loved the stage setup as well with the drums front and center and the vocalist towering over the crowd within the fog

He was mahoosive!

Good, but not as good as The Suns Of Perdition - Chapter II

as the year comes to an end, this is certainly my AOTY. all the elements are perfectly crafted, has everything I like about BM.
The Damascene Conversions might be my most played track of 2024.

Occams Fucking Razor is mine.

And naturally this one is my PM AOTY.

A band that has been consistently awesome for the past 5 years.

Not quite my overall gig of the year (that was one of either Depeche Mode, Springsteen or The Jesus & Mary Chain), but Panzerfaust were also my live metal band of the year.

This album has grown on me a lot. I gave it enough time and it rewarded me massively. To Shadow Zion is also such a perfect closing track. I have to relisten to the rest of the discography with more attention.

There’s something very Anaal Nathrakh-ish about this album that I really like.

Very bizzare comparison. Panzerfaust here is more brooding, atmospheric, and layered, and they emphasize more on dissonance, long build-ups, and oppressive ambiance rather than pure speed and aggression. I don't know if you have paid attention to it, even the production is more organic layered on space and weight rather than on overwhelming sonic density.

I didn't find anything-ish about Anaal here you made it.

Your reading comprehension skills have failed you once again. "Anaal Nathrakh-ish" does not necessarily imply "This sounds exactly like Anaal Nathrakh". On certain sections when they do go fast, it just happens to remind me of AN.

Also you can't lie to yourself and say that "Occams Fucking Razor" doesn't read like an AN song title.

Oceans effing razor and The Shadow Zion are
Mind blown.

This album is my introduction to this band and honestly... I'm very satisfied, from the "The Damascene Conversions" till the end its so diversified and well executed, great stuff for sure.

To Shadow Zion might be one of the best closing tracks in metal.

"Somewhere, a new sun rises
But all our graves go unvisited in the end
At Shadow Zion"

Good things can happen in this world

was hoping to see a new drum playthrough after the amazing The Snare Of The Fowler vid, and this doesn't disappoint.
dude is a beast, really creative use of toms and cymbals.

I've just bought my ticket for when they return to London with Afsky in November

Meh, they're incomparable. That dude behind the link is just a machine gun, a good one, but with minimal artistry. Nothing catches my attention there. Yes, he can bring the speed, but not the feel, or taste. Not even power, really, he has to sacrifice it too. Again, nothing against it, it's just a different sort of thing.

I so want to see them live. This was a crazy ride.

Seeing them for the second time on Sunday and I can't wait
