PAGANIZER - MURDER DEATH KILL ( XTREEM MUSIC, 2003)

PAGANIZER started out as a four piece in late 1998 when Rogga and former drummer Jocke deckled to start up a new band playing some old school Thrash/Death. Rpgga and Jocke got in touch with some friends tor guitar and bass playing (Dea and Diener) and recorded their first demo just a month later. That demo led to a deal with Malaysian label Psychic Scream Entertainment and PAGANIZER went on to record their debut CD "Deadbanger" which was released 1999. However, PAGANIZER had lost their concept since Rogga was busy with other projects and didnt write the music so the debut ended up being a bit too retro Thrash. During 2000 drummer Jocke left PAGANIZER due to a back injury and the band was more or less put on hold until Psychic Scream wanted another CD. Motivated once again Rogga got in touch with a drummer from another local band and in three weeks had written and recorded a new album. This time Rogga wrote 95% of the music again so the Death was put back in the Metal. After recording the CD Psychic Scream got into censorship trouble in Asia and the CD was delayed. PAGANIZER decided to search for another label with the consent of Psychic Scream. The search ended when PAGANIZER was introduced to Forever Underground Records. Now with a secure line-up and a new record label PAGANIZER's second album �Promoting Total Death* was unleashed on June 26th, 2001. PAGANIZER began writing new material for another full length almost immediately after the release of "Promoting Total Death". From July 2001 to April 2002 PAGANIZER wrote new material and refined their sound aswell as added a fourth member to the band. With the addition of a fourth man PAGANIZER's sound became more complex, more full and more brutal. The band's third release "Dead Unburied", was recorded at renowned Sunlight Studio and released in summer 2002 again through Forever Underground. This album shattered all their* previous material and earned them much needed attention from the underground leading them to a deal with the newly created label XTREEM MUSIC (ex-REPULSE Rec.) for the release of their 4th opus. Work as usual began immediatiy afterwards to bring forth the fourth PAGANIZER album entitled "Murder Death Kill". Recorded and produced by Mieszko Talarzcyk (NASUM) at his infamous Soundlab Studio and the mastering done once again by Dan Swanb this album displays the most mature PAGANIZER material to date. 1998 DEMO Stormfire 1999 CD Deadbanger 2001 CD Promoting Total Death 2002 CD Dead Unburied 2003 CD Murder Death Kill	OTHER GOOD STUFF
