Jag Panzer

Posted by Haggard - August 12th, 2011


[INDEX PAGE]

Here's the letter J. This choice might not be a great surprise, since there don't seem to be an awful lot of bands that start with J, so here's Jag Panzer.

The band:
Jag Panzer came together in late 1981, being inspired by the "New Wave of British Heavy Metal". The band was known as Tyrant in its first incarnation but they soon had to change their name, because another such named band existed in California.

They saw a poster featuring a German World War II tank, named Jagdpanzer (literally "hunting tank" in German, but actually referring to what in English would be called a tank destroyer) which they decided to name their band after. They were however, unable to pronounce the name correctly and as a result, dropped the letter "D" from the name and simply called it Jag Panzer.

In 1983 the band recorded their first EP called "Tyrants" and in early 1984 the first album "Ample Destruction" was released. It was an underground hit in the United States, and in Europe and Japan it was available on import only.

After some major line-up changes the band recorded a follow-up to their debut in 1987, but it was never released officially.

By 1994 the band had reunited and released their first official album in almost 10 years: "Dissident Alliance".

The next album, "The Fourth Judgement", came out in late 1997; it was followed by "Age of Mastery" (1998). Jag Panzer sought to tackle more ambitious territory for their next album, with "Thane to the Throne" (2000) a concept album about William Shakespeare's, Macbeth.

"Mechanized Warfare" was released in 2001, then the band released a double album in 2003 that featured previously unreleased tracks as well as songs from their first LP. "Decade of the Nail Spiked Bat" came out in 2003, and featured re-recorded and /or remixed old material. In 2004 the band released "Casting the Stones". The previously unreleased "Chain of Command" album was remixed and was issued in 2004 as a limited edition.

A few line-up changes followed, then in 2011 the last album "The Scourge of the Light" was released.

On July 25 2011, the band announced that they are to disband.

The song:
This is "Burn" from the newest and last album "The Scourge of the Light". The video is ridiculous (especially the "flames" you can see throughout the video), but the song is nice anyway.
