Panzerkampf – Extermination Engineering (Digital/CD Album – Heerwegen Tod Production)
This Polish duo emerged around 20 years ago but is only now releasing their debut album. Panzerkampf is the brainchild of ‘Anthony Armagedoon Destroyer’—known to some from his solo project Paranoia Inducta—and ‘L-Melkor’ (vocals).
Over the years, various tracks were created, and they now come together to form a cohesive and haunting whole that is best described as Black-Industrial or Death-Ambient. The influence of Paranoia Inducta is immediately recognizable in the subdued and obscure sonic landscape, now enhanced by ghostly, half-spoken vocals. The compositions are well-developed, but it is above all the exceptionally dark and unsettling sound design that stands out. In the background, percussive elements emerge—sometimes metallic, other times droning—adding depth and tension to the oppressive atmosphere.
This is a brilliant piece of work that comes highly recommended for fans of extreme Industrial and Ambient experiences. An opus with a strong visual dimension, masterfully crafted into a Soundtrack for your impending nightmares. (Rating:8½).

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
