Review

Panchiko's debut album "D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L" is a sonic mystery box wrapped in the intrigue of its unorthodox history. Dropped into the world in 2000 as a humble four-song EP with a scant 30 physical copies, it slumbered in the shadows until a 2016 4chan post resurrected it like a forgotten masterpiece. The journey from obscurity to internet sensation is both a testament to digital age serendipity and the captivating quality of its music.

The magic of "D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L" lies in its hauntingly distorted textures and evocative lyrics, weaving an atmosphere thick with introspection. Tracks like "The Eyes of Ibad" reveal a band with an uncanny ability to ensnare listeners in their dark, melancholic soundscapes. With the re-release—including gems from their lost EP "Kicking Cars"—the album offers a fuller immersion into Panchiko's creative universe. For enthusiasts of indie rock or anyone curious about this enigmatic opus, it’s an audial journey worth undertaking. - Jasper
