The Swedish death metal band Paganizer was formed in 1998 in the ashes of two previous bands called Terminal Grip and Genital Grinder. They soon signed a deal with the Malaysian label Psychic Scream Entertainment but later turned to the American company Forever Underground Records and finally ended up with Xtreem Music, the new label of Dave Rotten (Repulse Records, Avulsed). The band had another drummer in the early days who had played with Genital Grinder and Hellminth. On January 29th, 2005, the band announced the following at their official website: "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.".
