Panzerwar – Warlord Review: A Black Metal solo act from Canada, originally from the frozen lands of Norway. Panzerwar released his third EP album Warlord on October 13th, 2020. which Includes seven cold northern transfixing blackened songs that would gratify fans of Diocletian. The album was released through Kult of Belial Records, Worship the Void Records, and Cold Sword Productions.
Panzerwar – Warlord Review opens and discusses the FIRST SIN: THE STRINGS/KEYS. Consists of icy-cold raw repetitive shredding tremolo pickings with distortion, harmonizations, and unholy chord passages.
Let’s talk about the SECOND SIN: THE VOCALS, which involves ear-gouging shrill cries.
Moving on to the THIRD SIN: THE PERCUSSIONS, which delves into the vast world of primitive drum patterns and countless floor-pounding peddle double beats
In our following discussion about the band’s musical work, we will focus on the FOURTH SIN, the overall DISCUSSION of the album. As soon as the listener presses that play button, the listener is transported back in time to this Heathen wrath and BATHORY atmosphere.
Opening the album, with WARLORD Viking battle soundscape welcomes the listener, following suit with this unholy extreme black metal… following suit with the second piece, ETERNAL HEATHEN WRATH, opens to monastery chanting and chord playing of the guitar with a slight hint of -Esque BATHORY and -early BURZUM sound and feeling…
As one continues their journey with the third piece, ÓÐINNBLÓT, and the remaining four pieces, where the rest of the music invites the listener’s soul to this realm of old school, depressive and extreme onslaught of blackened metal
The music in question offers a thrilling and immersive experience that is certain to captivate the listener. Its dark and ominous tones create a haunting and alluring atmosphere, drawing the listener into its world.
The following war anthem is nothing short of electrifying, with a raw and untamed quality that will raise the listener’s spirits. As the music progresses, it continues to deliver a range of intense emotions, from crushing and heavy sensations to chaotic and transfixing extremes.
What sets this music apart is the depth and complexity that lies beneath the surface. Each song is a journey of its own, filled with hidden layers of sound that reveal themselves gradually, enriching the experience for the listener.
The music is not just a collection of sounds but a carefully crafted work of art that demands attention and rewards repeated listening. Its bestial and raw quality is tempered with a refined and nuanced approach that showcases the skill and artistry of the musician.
Overall, this music promises to be a treat for extreme and war metal fans, offering a journey into the depths of darkness and chaos while simultaneously delivering a transcendent and unforgettable experience.
WARLORD is a fruit of art release of seven substantial, strongly composed icy cold/raw old-school black metal, that has a feeling of being regurgitated from the bottomless pits of hell and with a primitive deliverance of pure awesome (ear gouging) music and songwriting; this is undoubtedly for any old-school black metal and extreme/war metal fans. The whole release has been composed exceptionally well, with extraordinary devilmanship from start to finish
I wanted to share our thoughts and MEMORABILIA on the FIFTH SIN. I am completely in love with this album from the first track to the end. The artwork is particularly striking and edgy, adding extra excitement to the overall experience
Let’s discuss the ARTWORK of the SIXTH SIN. Has a distinct and striking appearance that resembles the banners seen in the epic fantasy world of LORD OF THE RINGS or the dark and menacing artwork associated with the extreme metal band DIOCLETIAN from New Zealand.
Finally, the review will close with the last sin, the SEVENTH SIN, the DISRELISH. Since there is nothing to disrelish within the musical world of PANZERWAR, this concludes the Panzerwar – Warlord Review Review.
