Much of the album was similar in style to early Celtic Frost, particularly the songs "Triumphant Gleam", "The Hordes of Nebulah", and "Beholding the Throne of Might". However, the production continued in a similar "raw" vein to that of Transilvanian Hunger (1994). The vocals were mixed loudly so that the instruments seemed to get quieter during vocal parts, as if they were side-chained. "Quintessence" featured lyrics by Varg Vikernes, their second and final album to do so. Some punk-influenced riffs also exists in the album.
In October 2010, Panzerfaust was reissued by Peaceville as a two-disc edition, with the second disc featuring Fenriz discussing the making of the album and the subject matter of the songs. In this commentary, Fenriz cited Celtic Frost's Morbid Tales (1984), Bathory's Under the Sign of the Black Mark (1987) and Vader's Necrolust (1989) as key riff inspirations.
Fenriz handled all instruments on this album, as confirmed in at least two interviews.
"Snø og granskog" is an old poem by Tarjei Vesaas.
"Panzerfaust" is dedicated to Satyr of Satyricon.
"Quintessence" features parts identical to Storm's "Noregsgard".

12" LP re-released by Peaceville Records in 2011. It is numbered and limited to 2000 copies and comes on 180gsm vinyl. The heavyweight sleeve and printed inner features new liner notes from Fenriz and the lyrics with a protective PVC sleeve.
