Veteran Swedish Death Metal band PAGANIZER has just signed a deal with Xtreem Music for release of a new EP that will be the prelude to a new album for 2025. Forest of Shub Niggurath is the title of this new work, of which they have also revealed a first advance single as well as cover artwork and track list.
Forest of Shub Niggurath will see the light next September 10th through Xtreem Music on CD and Digital formats.
PAGANIZER is a Death Metal band from Sweden formed from the ashes of TERMINAL GRIP, first band of Rogga Johansson where he recorded two demos in ’94 & ’95, but it wasn’t until 1998 when PAGANIZER recorded its first demo Stormfire and a year later their debut album.
Trough the last 26 years, PAGANIZER has been forging a reputation as one of the most solid, prolific and representative Death Metal bands in Sweden, never compromising their sound and always loyal to their bonecrushing style. 2024 sees the band returning to Xtreem Music where they already released their 3rd album Murder Death Kill (2003) and No Divine Rapture (2004), releasing a brand new 6-song EP entitled Forest of Shub Niggurath as a previous step to their next album in 2025 also through Xtreem Music.
