I know this band since time ago, because of many pacts and trades with the leader and good comrade Nonoy. I know almost its entire career, regarding releases (even I have some unofficial on my morbid collection), and since ups and downs, some raw release here or there, some other even a bit slower and "technical", to the current EP "Of Deathblades and Bloodsoaked Paths..."; I believe Im witnessing perhaps some of the best release of Paganfire I have heard! It shows a bestial Thrash Attack, where a cruel ancient spirit of Dark Angel or Sadus, is summoned, surrounded by bestiality on drums, mortifer delays on vocals and evil riffs on guitars! Riffs are deadly catchy, as the ones from "Poseurdom Shall Fall" for example, a epic warfare noise against fucking fake scum. Best thing on this release is that it really captures an aura and sensation of an old recording. It is kiler and weird listening a native language (I believe that) on songs as "Karumaldumal! Kasuklamsuklam!" (???), deathrashing rage here as in the entire release, with some mini solos as small demons grinding your flesh!!! Some little touches of Death Metal are perceived on "Disturbing, Defeaning and Disgusting". An interesting fact is that this kind of chaotic and mad sounds as a fucking old time. Primitive drumblasting on songs as "The Executor is back", some crazy solos and even some Max Cavalera summoning from the pre-fucked era of Sepultura. And finishing the release "False Protector" which starts with something like an intro. Im starting to believe this is the most "technical" song on this album, as it has many parts and changes. Fortunately, then it starts to hit the drums in primitive bestiality, returning to the constant noise on this EP, which is raw and direct Thrash Metal, with evil chainsaw riffs, speed of death on vocals, and the summoning of the elder Metal ghouls!
