A good man is hard to find. But we've done it. Panchrysia is proud to announce the arrival of Peter Noens (vocalist/guitarplayer in The Reckoning). From now on, he will be the one in charge of one of Panchrysia's guitar parts.
Last couple of weeks, he has been digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick for us. And it might be a dirty job, but oh yes, he has proven himself to be a tight and steady master.
Welcome on board!
A second pile of reviews
Terrorizer Mag: "Deathcult Salvation is a generally satisfying album, that maintains a focussed assault while throwing in enough diversions to keep things interesting." (7/10)
Alternative Zine: "So, this is definitely black, definitely dark and quite depressing, but only the more progressive thinking black metallers will grasp the depth and originally here, this album is goes much deeper than your usual "I love Satan" teenage black metal romp."
Vampire Magazine: "Okay, it may be from Belgium, in stead of Scandinavia, but if you choose to limit yourself to that criterion, you will miss out on a lot of good, well-taken care of black metal, including this Belgian band: regarding that, I really believe that “Deathcult Salvation” is a highlight within the genre."
Pull The Chain: " can’t really find any fault with «Deathcult Salvation»; this is simply what insanity and violence are all about. Probably a dream comes true for the black metal fans: a band that delivers something intelligent, beautiful, corrupted and insane. Perfect."
A first shitload of reviews on Deathcult Salvation:
- Bergenspuls: "Stemningsfull aggresjon" (4/6)
- Northern Metal: "Belgian Panchrysia creates unbelievably pitch-black frozen bloodcurdling moods, which may even scare Satan himself shitless" (8/10)
- Aardschok: "De band behoort met dit album niet alleen top de black metaltop uit de lage landen, maar kan de concurrentie uit Scandinavie ook moeiteloos aan." (85/100)
- Lords Of Metal: "The album is full of aggression but also has unconventional eerie moments as exemplified in the song 'Fogbound' which contains some creepy female vocals" (80/100)
- Metalteamuk: "The good news is that this does in my opinion see the band taking a step up to the next level as it is an absolutely fantastic album, one which deserves the band getting a hell of a lot more attention and one that combined with their on stage persona should see them being grabbed and taken as main support with the big hitters of the black metal community."
- Fenix Webzine:"Sim, porque este album esta¡ bem acima da madia do que se vai fazendo hoje me dia no cena¡rio Black Metal. Prefiro “Deathcult Salvation” do que 100 discos de Trve Black." (70/100)
- Metal.de: "Zusammenfassend bleibt zu sagen, das "Deathcult Salvation" ein grundsolides, kraftvolles Album mit einer schwarzerfüllten Seele und einer eigenen Atmosphäre ist." (7/10)
- Zillo: Insgesamt ist „Deathcult Salvation" ein kurzweiliges Düster-Metal-Album, das allen Freunden des Genres definitiv zusagen sollte und das Panchrysia einen großen Schritt weiterbringen dürfte.
- Rock Hard: "..den teils sehr emotionalen und aggressiven Kompositionen
wechseln sich eher progressive Gitarrenparts mit einfachen, etwas an
alte Celtic Frost/Hellhammer erinnernde Passagen ab" (7/10)
- Musik Terrorverslag: "So brillieren PANCHRYSIA besonders, wenn sie die Black N’ Roll-Riffs fliegen, die Drums dumpf stampfen und Fronter Zahrim energisch und kraftvoll brüllen lassen."
- Metalnews.de: "Unterm Strich ein gutes Stück pechschwarzen Stahls mit einigen interessanten Farbtupfern, von Devo Andersson klanglich prima in Szene gesetzt." (5/7)
- Burn Your Eyes: "Eingangs legen PANCHRYSIA den Grundstein für ihren modernen und doch klassischen Black Metal." (7/10)

Biography
Our Essence In Blackened Purity
Panchrysia has been marching on these hellish playgrounds since the winter of 1998. 2 high quality demo-tapes, 'Nimisque Inhumane' & 'Exaltation', has brought them under the attention of Belgian companies. They've recorded for labels as LSP Company & Soulreaper Records, resulting in 2 excellent albums.
'In Obscure Depths' (2002, LSP Company), their first, positioned them as a talented newcomer. 'Malicious Parasite' (2004, Soulreaper Records) marked a step up to ultra-intense, uncompromising & fast black metal. Full of cold December chords, this album takes you on a journey through fear, desperation & aggression.
In June 2006, Panchrysia released a split-album,‘The Ultimate Crescendo Of Hell’ (2006, Shiver Records) together with Belgian trashmates Iconoclasm.
Newborn Imperial Gospels
A new album, which will be entitled ‘Deathcult Salvation’, has been recorded during the wintermonths of 2006 and 2007. Drums and bass were recorded in november 2006 at the Belgian DUNGEON Studios. In January 2007, Panchrysia headed north to finish the recordings at the Swedish ENDARKER Studios.
Mixing and mastering were in the hands of producer Magnus 'DEVO' Andersson. His qualities ensured the deliverance of a well-balanced and powerfull album. Additional vocals on this album were done by MORTUUS (Marduk/Funeral Mist) and Leen De Haes (Bint).
Lyricwise, Panchrysia is being inspired by many books, from Nietzsches ‘Antichrist’ and ‘Also sprach...’, over Joseph Conrads ‘Heart of Darkness’, from the Necronomicon to the holy bible, etc. All reflecting our vision on life, human nature, christianity and the modern world.
Live Agression
The band has built up massive live-experience throughout the years. Touring through Europe has taken place with some of the greatest in the field. In June 2004, Panchrysia attacked France, UK, Holland, Germany & Switzerland together with MALEVOLENT CREATION. In September 2005, Panchrysia travelled through France, Spain and Portugal with MARDUK. Some others Panchrysia has played with on several occasions: Impaled Nazarene, Ancient Rites, Aborted, Aeturnus, Red Harvest, Cannibal Corpse, Hypocrisy, Carpathian Forest, Ragnarok, Exodus, Vader, Belphegor, Anorexia Nervosa, Kampfar, Enthroned, etc
Hail ... and welcome to our in-depth experience of pure black art !
New album: “MORBIDE ELITE” - coming soon on Iron Age Records !
Since worldwide crisis with wars and famine are a true human pain, the drunk poor pest-brewing trolls got their good times. Since their pact with the crows their succes became giant. The drunk trolls are dead, the New Elite is born. We write in times where people are praying their God for forgiving their sins, to keep away His thorn of disease. Expect a mindblowing fast black metal masterpiece with a confronting sound of medieval infecting grief. The whole world is dying.
