review by: Roberto Martinelli

Inspired by the image of the famous German Panzer tank, this Danish band mercilessly crush through eight tracks of outstanding death metal.   The band is aptly named as the music truly makes one think of the plodding, muscular, and unshakeable machine of war that Panzerchrist idolize.

Like the famous German efficiency, the band's musicianship is very tight, the riffs kick ass, and the production is excellent. The lyrics, which are all in German, are delivered in a vocal style that mixes low churning grunts with an almost whisper like tone, with higher black metal-like rasps.

Amidst these more typical elements found in this type of death metal are some fabulous guitar solos that more than a few times reminded me of Death. The grace of the solos provide a flavorful contrast between themselves and the rumbling no-frills rhythmic elements of the songs.

The only element keeping this from receiving perfect marks is the use of sound clips that are played over a couple of the songs. One in particular is about 30 seconds long and it just gets in the song's way. Otherwise, this is godly; I can't get enough. Buy it and thank me later.
