The triumphant vibe and infectious melodies are what really gets to me when listening to Panphage. A one man band that delivers fantastic black metal, very much in the vein of old Arckanum.

This is the second full-length by mr Fjällbrandt with his Panphage. Astonishing record!

The mix between burly rasps and understated deep clean vocals works very well, and the album has the ebb and flow of a great saga. The icy riffs hit hard and the melodic parts are jaw-dropping when they come up. Having heard so many bargain bin bedroom black metal bands makes me appreciate a band like this so much more. Much can go wrong when one person tries to do everything, but we also get cases like this where a singular vision really shines through.
