After nearly 3 years of relative silence, Panzerfaust returns with their fourth invocation - a concept record - 'The Lucifer Principle'. The Lucifer Principle explores with abandon the demented apparatus of the human condition and its drive towards death, self-destruction and its return to the inorganic. A knife-edge narrative on the eternal reoccurrence of evil and its wellspring of violence, The Lucifer Principle lays the rotting foundation and unwelcoming sound that perches upon the rigour mortis of the dead that the album depicts. The underlying theme invokes man's desire to destroy his fellow man, and how that project may never be exhausted so long as there is a piece of Eden to divide.
Outstanding avant-garde black metal with a cavernous, kaleidoscopic soundstage and a subtle and sinuous rhythm section.
