A few questions - interview with black death metal band from Germany - PANZERKRIEG 666.

Ave, can you introduce your band to our readers? – When was it founded and what style of music do you play etc.?

We were founded in the end of 2021. We know each other for years and played in some Deathmetal bands before. Some say it´s Black Metal other say it´s Deathmetal or Blackened Deathmetal. We´re just doing what we´re doing. So listen for yourself and decide on your own.

Where and under what conditions were you recording the new album? Who was in charge of sound, production and mastering?

We did everything on our own. So we´re literally spoken independent and don´t want to rely on someone else.


How many copies were released and which medium was used for this new edition (CD, digital, vinyl, cassette)?

„Westerweiterung“ is our third EP and we produced 500 copies of each release. It´s available as a digipack CD. Of course it´s also digitally available as well as for streaming. Some tapes will also be produced for sure in the near future.

Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with?

I write the lyrics alone (MVM vocals). They are about war or the history of war. However, we will also take up other topics in the future.

Who created the logo of the band, and who took care of the graphics and the website? What about you and social networks? Do you consider these things important?

All of our artwork is commissioned. That's the only thing we can't do ourselves. Social media is very important for an underground band these days. Without that nothing works anymore.


Which label did you choose for releasing your album and why this label? Are you satisfied by how your label represents you and takés care about you?

For our first release we had a label. After that we stayed independent. As a band you only benefit from a bigger label. Otherwise you can do everything on your own. But we are grateful for any support.

Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration?

We were most often compared to Marduk but we can no longer understand that. We listen to all types of metal. Like I said, we have known each other for a long time and we´re friends. We just play the music we like and don't really think about what the final product will sound like.

Did you send your record to some Labels - which are the labels? How was the response?

We did in the beginning and the response was very positive. As I said if it´s no bigger label you can stay independent.


How many gigs have you played? Which type of gigs do you prefer, whether it's (clubs or festivals) and which of your performances would you consider as the best?

We haven't played with Panzerkrieg 666 live very often. The black metal scene is even more niche than the death metal scene. But we've been playing in the extreme metal scene for 20 years. We generally like to play live and you live the moment and focus on the current situation.

What about your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve with the band?

We just want to keep going and release new music every year if possible.

How and where can your fans contact you? Can you provide some contact information?

Your can contact us directly at hq@panzerkrieg666.de. We are on social media such as Facebook, Instagram etc. Check us out on Bandcamp if you wanna grab some merch and CDs. We appreciate your support. https://panzerkrieg666.bandcamp.com/album/westerweiterung . You can also visit our homepage www.panzerkrieg666.de
