UMUR
"All Witches Shall Burn" is an EP release by Danish death metal act Panzerchrist. The EP was released through Emanzipation Productions in January 2024. It bridges the gap between Panzerchrist´s eighth- and ninth full-length studio albums "Last of a Kind" (July 2023) and "Maleficium - Part 1" (December 2024). The four tracks on the 19.51 minutes long EP were recorded during the sessions for "Last of a Kind" and are a continuation of the witch/inquisition themed lyrical concept of "Last of a Kind".
No surprise of course that the material is in a similar blackened death metal style as the one found on "Last of a Kind". Panzerchrist must have had one hell of a headache picking out the material to be featured on the album and which tracks should be left off, because there´s nothing wrong with the quality of the material featured on "All Witches Shall Burn". This is not just some leftover album session EP, featuring odd or slighly sub par tracks which weren´t of a good enough quality to be included on the album. These songs could just as well have been added and other album tracks left off. In that regard Panzerchrist are an incredibly consistent unit.
The EP is well produced (again of course featuring a sound production similar to the sound production found on "Last of a Kind"). Brutal, raw, epic, and detailed. Just the right sound production for this type of material. It´s overall a good quality release from Panzerchrist and a 3.5 star (70%) is well deserved.
