Panphage

With “Drengskapr,” Panphage sails further into the volatile seas charted by its predecessor, “Storm”. This conceptual journey through the life of the outlaw Grette Asmundsson is steeped in the primal essence of Swedish folk and fierce black metal. The album’s narrative, like the ocean waves that inspired it, ebbs and flows with a feral energy, inviting listeners to surrender to the wildness within, guided by the solitary, visionary craft of Panphage.

Panphage’s “Jord” marks a profound final chapter in Fjällbrandt’s journey through the realms of black metal, interwoven with the essence of Swedish folk heritage. This album, a farewell ode to the earth and its cyclic nature, explores themes of heritage, demise, and rebirth. ‘Jord’ is not just an album but a legacy, inviting listeners to a grand, atmospheric journey back to the roots, where the soil unites past, present, and future in a timeless bond.

With its re-issue, “Storm” by Panphage reclaims its throne as a seminal work in the realm of melodic black metal. This debut not only captures the raw spirit of Viking conquests through its vigorous riffs and anthemic leads but also introduces a richly textured soundscape – from deep, chanting vocals to groove-laden riffs reminiscent of Bathory. Panphage delivers an album that is as compelling as it is captivating – a true journey through the storm.
