THE BEAST

Today, Canadian black metal mavericks Panzerfaust stream the entirety of their  The Suns of Perdition II: Render Unto Eden  - the highly anticipated second installment of a four-part album series - at  Decibel magazine's website . Set for North American release on August 28th via Eisenwald, hear Panzerfaust's The Suns of Perdition II: Render Unto Eden in its entirety exclusively  HERE .

For the better part of 15 years, Canada's Panzerfaust have been steadily crafting some of the finest, most thought-provoking black metal. With their The Winds Will Lead Us... debut album in 2006 onward, their obsidian flower forever kept blossoming, culminating in 2013's pivotal Jevohah-Jireh: The Divine Anti-logos, which signaled a significant (and fortuitous) shift in the band's aesthetic. In 2016, Panzerfaust released The Lucifer Principle EP, pushing their adventurous spirit yet further, perhaps most forecasted by the closing Johnny Cash cover.

However, it was 2019's The Suns of Perdition - Chapter I: War, Horrid War where Panzerfaust truly had their watershed moment. Released to widespread acclaim by Eisenwald, this staggering work brimmed with daring and dynamics - a kaleidoscopic fury, if you will - that vivaciously and viciously displayed a band hitting their creative peak. The album was the first chapter of the band's tetralogy examining the malign episodes of this past century, shining a light on difficult subject matter using a begrimed philosophical lens. The resulting synthesis is what George Orwell once described as [a vision of the future] "a boot stamping on a human face forever."

Alas, Panzerfaust waste no time in delivering the next chapter of that tetralogy - and equally keep a fever pitch to that creative peak - with the much-anticipated The Suns of Perdition II: Render Unto Eden. Recorded at BWC Studios with Greg Dawson and with mastering by Sergei Lazar at CDM Records, Render Unto Eden is an altogether more somber record: here do Panzerfaust more fully work with light and shade, their darkness displaying far more hues than previously deemed imaginable. Whereas the five-song first chapter was taut 'n' terrorizing, The Suns of Perdition II likewise features five songs but in a more expansive 44-minute runtime. As such, massive vistas of molten melancholy unfold, the inexorable push-and-pull patient but persistent; layers upon layers of understanding are packed into each of these scintillating minutes. The violence is more carefully doled out, in kind, and the sum effect is nothing short of hypnotic, particularly the track "Promethean Fire," which features guest vocals from Maria Arkhipova of Russia's Arkona. The Suns of Perdition II: Render Unto Eden echoes within the mind and spirit long after the record's over...

A new dawn looms, retaining the brilliance of yesteryear's horizon. Ominous and omnipotent, here rises Panzerfaust's The Suns of Perdition II: Render Unto Eden.
