Panzerfaust

M

ississauga (a suburb of Toronto)'s Panzerfaust perform what can best be described as 'Militarized Pagan black metal' in vein of black metal's second wave like Mayhem, Darkthrone, Emperor, Immortal (Norway) while taking attributes from bands of the post-Norwegian black metal scene of Dark Funeral, Marduk, Nargaroth. While keeping atmosphere and ambiance their music spins into a spiral of extreme black metal. Their music is a basic anti-Christian, misanthropic black metal with pagan mythological topics. Panzerfaust emerged in 2005, when three musically experienced friends came together, to form a black metal project. Panzerfaust took about 6 months to finish writing the material for their debut full album The Winds Will Lead Us... (2006). The album would also see the band in full formation with Goliath (Real Name: Thomas Remigio) stepping in as the new vocalist that September to now feature the line-up of Goliath (Real Name: Thomas Remigio; vocals), Kaizer (Real Name: Brock Van Dyk; guitar), Orcus (Real Name: Wojtek Sokolowski; bass), and Lord Baphomet (drums). Signing to 'Northern Storm Records' the band then re-released The Winds Will Lead Us... in 2007 as well as the split EP with Totalus Necrum.
