Swedish death metallers PAGANIZER have posted the following message on their official web site:

"PAGANIZER will be put on ice for the coming time, not saying the band will never surface again. Time will as always tell. As of now however there is no lineup existing and no plans to get one together or to start writing new material.

"Thanks to everyone these last months offering us shows but we have to say no even if we really appreciate your interest in the band.

"Finally in closing... Be sure to get a copy of the last album, 'No Divine Rapture', as it's the by far most worked through shit we've done.

"Also look out for 'Death Forever - The Pest of Paganizer' just released on Mexican label Onslaught Records. Our best songs collected with some cool unreleased stuff.

"Soon also a double-CD will be available from Forever Underground including our three first albums ('Deadbanger', 'Promoting Total Death' and 'Dead Unburied') as well as an unreleased mini album called 'Warlust' from our early days, recorded right after the debut album.

"The last two releases will be available directly at paganizer@hotmail.com within the coming months. However we only will have a small number of both releases so be sure to be in touch if you're interested."
