Germany's Panzerkrieg 666 has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a fast, raw and old school form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 ep "Westerweiterung" which will be released in may by Human Noise Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams while death metal growls can also be heard at times as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the mid 90's era.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while clear vocals can also be heard briefly. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the guitar riffing also adding in some melody at times and all of t he music sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Panzerkrieg remains true to the fast, raw and old school style of black metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and German and cover Satanism and War themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Panzerkrieg 666 and if you are a fan of fast, raw and old school black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Satan" and "Westerweiterung". 8 out of 10.
