Denmark's most violent act strike back with their third album, "Soul Collector", their first for MIGHTY MUSIC. With a line-up and label change, Panzerchrist are putting their two previous albums "Six Seconds Kill" & "Outpost - Fort Europa" (both on Serious Entertainment) behind them and are now going to war.

Founding member of Panzerchrist, Michael Enevoldsen, has this time switched from drums to guitars and has furthermore collected the following souls to make the absolute strongest Panzerchrist album so far: Reno Killerich (an extremely talented drummer, who delivers one of the most intense drum attacks in (Danish) metal history. This skinbasher does his work out at the gym and practice behind his drums seven days a week), Bo Summer (The Illdisposed vocalist intensifies the level of brutality drastically with his violent growls), Michael Kopietz (who used to play guitars in the death metal band Frozen Sun is a creative force behind half of the material on "Soul Collector") and female bass player Karina Bundgaard who also played on the previous album "Outpost- Fort Europa".

The entire album is focused on war. From the song titles to the cover itself. The cover, being shot by a close friend of the band who was stationed in the war ridden Kosovo, displays a graveyard with several destroyed tanks and troop carriers. To those of you interested, the tank on the cover is the Yugoslavic version of the Russian T-34 main battle tank. The lyrics are, as you might have noticed, written in German. Please notice that this doesn't mean that the message and image of Panzerchrist has extreme right-wing orientation!!! The German lyrics were meant as an experiment with an alternative language instead of the ordinary English. Death metal lyrics actually sound very cool and brutal pronounced in German.

The history of Panzerchrist dates back to around '93/94 when Michael Enevoldsen decided to leave his former band, Illdisposed, due to the fact that he wanted to play really brutal music. He gathered a bunch of soulmates, recorded a demotape that was picked up by Serious Entertainment, who signed the band. In '96 the first album, "Six Seconds Kill" was released to much applause from the death metal audience. Two years later the second album "Outpost - Fort Europa" saw the light of day. Once again, Panzerchrist was praised by enthusiastic fans and medias all over the world. With their third album, "Soul Collector", Panzerchrist are setting new standards in extremity and should enter the elite of the brutal death metal scene.
"Soul Collector" was released through MIGHTY MUSIC in September 2000.
