Veteran Swedish death metal band PAGANIZER has officially signed with Xtreem Music for the release of their new EP, Forest of Shub Niggurath, which will serve as a prelude to their forthcoming album in 2025. The band has also released the first advance single from the EP, along with its cover artwork and tracklist. Forest of Shub Niggurath is set to be released on September 10th, 2024, in both CD and digital formats.

PAGANIZER was formed in the late 1990s from the ashes of Terminal Grip, Rogga Johansson’s first band, where he recorded two demos in 1994 and 1995. In 1998, PAGANIZER recorded their first demo Stormfire, followed by their debut album a year later.

With an extensive discography that includes 12 full-length albums, 9 EPs, 13 split EPs, 14 compilations, and 2 live albums, PAGANIZER has firmly established themselves as one of Sweden’s most prolific and respected death metal bands. Their unwavering commitment to their crushing sound has earned them a loyal following over the past 26 years.

In 2024, PAGANIZER returns to Xtreem Music, the label that released their 3rd album Murder Death Kill (2003) and No Divine Rapture (2004). The new EP, Forest of Shub Niggurath, features six tracks that continue the band’s legacy of relentless death metal, setting the stage for their next full-length album in 2025.
