History
In early 2005 it was announced that Paganizer was finished; however, soon the band was activated once again, in the Johansson/Fiebig/Halvarsson lineup. Many members, including Rogga, are also involved in the bandCritical reception
The band is known for its adherence to the classic style of Swedish death metal. Singer and guitarist Johansson is a prolific musician in the genre, and the band's sound is sometimes attributed to his influence. Some critics have noted that the band moved toward a sound more heavy in melodic elements in their 2019 album ''The Tower of the Morbid'', mixing this more melodic approach with core elements of Swedish death metal. Others dismiss the band for its lack of originality, while still praising the strong songwriting and production, as well as the band's enjoyability for those who are inherently partial to the genre.Members
