Panzerchrist was formed in '93-'94 when Michael Enevoldsen left Illdisposed. Michael then later met up with celebrated Danish artist Lasse Hoile to form Panzerchrist.

Panzerchrist recorded a few demos and was signed by Serious entertainment. Six Seconds Kill was released by Serious Entertainment in 1996 to much applause from the death metal audience.

In 1998 Outpost Fort Europa was released and Panzerchrist gained an even wider following.

In 2000 Panzerchrist was joined by drummer Reno Kiilerich (ex. Exmortem, Vile etc.) and Bo Summer (also of Danish Death Metal act Illdisposed) to record the notorious Soul Collector, which caused quite a stir in the Death Metal scene because of its WWII theme and German lyrics. The album was very well received in the Death metal scene and set new terms for the band in terms of speed and brutality. Soul Collector was released by Mighty Music in 2000.

In 2002 the band was joined by Frederik O'Carroll and Rasmus Henriksen to begin work on the ultra violent Room Service, which featured compositions even more brutal and fast than its predecessor including a much acclaimed coverversion of the Metal Church classic Metal Church. Room Service was recorded at Tue Madsens "Antfarm studios" (The Haunted, Illdisposed, Mnemic etc.) and was released by Mighty Music in 2003.

In 2006 Panzerchrist drummer Kiilerich and Karina Bundgaard, now on keyboards, rejoined for the recording of Battalion Beast which was released by Neurotic Records in 2006.
