Vinyl version in marbled-ochre wax, with full color insert, limited to 100 copies, only available on the Xtreem Music mailorder, of the 14th album from 2026 by Swedish Death Metal veterans PAGANIZER, the long-running machine led by Rogga Johansson. “As Mankind Rots” is yet another masterclass in old-school Swedish Death Metal, proving once again the band's remarkable ability to deliver solid, heavy and highly effective material after more than two decades of activity.
Across its 11 tracks, the album unleashes a relentless barrage of morbid riffs, crushing grooves and dark melodies that directly recall the golden age of Scandinavian Death Metal. Rather than reinventing the formula, PAGANIZER once again demonstrates its mastery of crafting memorable Death Metal anthems filled with atmosphere, hooks and crushing heaviness. Another strong statement from one of the most prolific and respected figures in the European underground scene.
Recommended for fans of GRAVE, GOD MACABRE, CARNAGE and EDGE OF SANITY.
